    I had a neighbor whose cat would play catch with cigarette packs.

    I have a cat that will fetch, he also plays with water and loves the shower. It's strange. He'll get into the shower and meow until someone turns it on.

    My wife and I have a saying...when a dog does something that dogs shouldn't normally do, and people ask how, we say "Because nobody told them they couldn't." Imagine the trouble we'd all be in if they had opposable thumbs. :omg:

    I know how much trouble my bird can get into.. and they sort of have opposable thumbs. I could not imagine a dog.

    I had a cat that fetched stick. I had a dog (shit head) that climbed trees, but only after cats.

    Me too. If you wadded up a piece of paper, he would come running no matter where he was. If you threw away a piece of paper, he would get it out of the trash can and bring it back to you. Weird cat.

    Hey, I'm offering this purely for your information and with no disrespect intended:

    Tree's in your thread title is plural and should not have an apostrophe before the s.

    days in your sentence above is possessive, and should have an apostrophe before the s.

    Honestly, not trying to criticize in any way - just trying to improve written communication.

    Heh, heh, heh. :grin:

    Honestly, the only reason I said anything is that I happen to be reading Eats, Shoots, and Leaves at the moment and your post included both common types of apostrophe mistakes. I guess I'm a closet teacher. :whatthe:
