Aloha Friday #7 Pet Peeves

Aloha everyone!
It's Friday, which means that over at An Island Life it is time for Aloha Friday. In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that they take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So on Fridays we take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, she asks a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. Then everyone else asks a simple question of their own blog for others to answer.

The question this week is an easy one. What is your pet peeve. Come on....what is it that REALLY gets under your skin? Drives you bonkers?? Spill it here...just between us. LOL :)

My pet peeve is people who just lack manners (now I am not Miss Etiquette by any means, but I do try to be polite and not act like a fool, you know??) I don't know when it become the "in" thing to NOT RSVP but suddenly NO ONE does it anymore. Have you noticed that?? Also, does ANYONE hold the door open for another human being anymore--much less give up their seat on a crowded subway, bus, or train (guess I must be watching too many old movies on TCM, again, huh?? So, that's my Pet Peeve...tell me yours. If you give me some comment love, I will return the favor. Have a GREAT weekend :)

Aloha Friday #6 Easter Bunny and Fido and Fluffy, Oh my :)

With Easter just around the corner, I was wondering how many other folks out there are as crazy about their pets as I am. At Christmas, Muffin has her own stocking. We give her gifts on her birthday (no cake, though!!) On Easter, she will get some goodies. (She doesn't have a basket--but that's a thought-LOL!!) So, come on you pet moms and dads--'fess up and tell us what YOU do for your pets. If you aren't a pet owner, have you ever bought a gift for a friend or a family member?? (If you give me some comment love--I will return your visit :)

Thanks for those who took the time to answer last week's question. The question was who was your favorite animal movie character. The answers ranged from Buhlo (Jungle Book), Lassie, Silver and Lady (from Lady and The Tramp.)

This week's question?? Who is your favorite animal movie movie/tv character? I always loved Lady (Lady & the Tramp) and Nemo (Finding Nemo). What about you?? Don't be shy...

Update: Everyone who participated in last week's question agreed that animals and their owners are able to communicate on some level. Thanks again for leaving your comments and hope to see your comments THIS week :)

The question for this week is: Do you think it is possible for animals to "communicate" with humans? I talk to Muffin all of the time and I think she understands quite a bit of what I tell her. (Dogs supposedly have an even greater capacity of the English language--it's MY opinion that cats have just a great of an ability--they just don't want any of us to know it!!!) Anyway, what's your opinion? Do you talk to your animals? Do they seem to understand what you are saying?? If you don't have pets, do you have a family member or friend who has pets? Do you think it is possible for animals and humans to communicate? Or is it just a bunch of hooey?? Don't be shy--I want to hear your opinion so leave your comments.

Update: Thanks for everyone who stopped by last week. Seems like we have a lot of happy pets!!! All kinds of pets too!! Also, there are a couple of people who would like to have pets but can't so we can feel for them!! Life is definitely better with fur!!

Today's question is pretty easy. Do you own a pet? If so, what is it? (If not, would you like to? If not, why?)

Me--I, of course, am the proud mama of a beautiful ragdoll cat, Muffin, who thinks that she is the baby of the family.

UPDATE: Thanks for all who participated in last week's question. Seems like we had a lot of butterflies among us.

Don't be shy...please stop and make a comment....Have a great weekend....

My question this week has to do with spirit animals. As an animal lover, I have always been fascinated by very NATURE of spirit animals. What animal would you choose for your spirit guide? Or which animal IS your spirit guide??

Suite 101 has a good article on it, if you would like more info. According to Native American beliefs, there are 9 different animal guides.

Bear-comforting and protective, common sign for moms
Butterfly-stands for the ability to accept the beauty of growth and change
Coyote-trickster, humour, self-sabatoge
Eagle-very spiritual, wisdom & power
Hawk-messenger-perspective
Horse-power; permission to be oneself
Snake-healer; transformation
Spider-creative
Wolf-true teachers

For me-butterflies have always had a really significant place in my life. I truly love to see a butterfly in nature. It is just SO beautiful.

Update:

Thanks for everyone who stopped by last week :) Seems like EVERYONE has either a friend or family member take care of their furbaby (furbabies) when they go on vacation. YAY!! I think that our pets don't like being boarded too much--just saying--IMHO!!

So this is MY very first Ragdoll Cat Mom Edition of Aloha Friday. YAY! My question is this: If you have furbabies--what do you do with them when you go on vacation? Do you board them? Do you have a friend petsit them (just once a day or do you have them also housesit as well?) If you don't have any animals, have you ever taken care of a pet for a family or friend who went on vacation? Tell me your experiences! How do you feel about pets and vacation?? Don't be shy--Muffin and I are waiting to hear your comments...
