cats and dogs

learnt a lot about cats and dogs today than i have for a long long time.
Not particularly fond of them.Have no clue about them is also true.
But the spent the day with a couple of friends who were dog/cat
lovers and have them all over their house.One of them is having a
entire house establishment to take care of two dogs!Because their flat in mumbai
has two cats and the place is not big enough to have cats and dogs.
These doggies dont like neighbours talking in loud tones(only they can
bark their heads off when they see folks like me!)After a while they recognise
usual loud mouths by the approachig sound of their feet and they dont have to
raise their voice,the dogs will do their chorus.
used to wonder why the dogs regularly dirty our frontyard when the neighbours
frontyards are neat.I was told today,because i dont feed the dog,the dog feels it is
not its house,so my frontyard is a random place to ease itself.
