Well, maybe, but the story about righteously kicking butt to get her kid back ... just kinda suits my mood these days.<BR/>In my real everyday life I'm a pacifist. <BR/>And pets rock - I lean more to cats myself, but we have do have a cute dog who will totally slobber you up if that's what you need.<BR/>I just seldom need that - mostly b/c she likes to root for snacks in the grossest places. She's great company on long trail hikes, though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-38036102252193170892008-06-04T17:43:00.000-04:002008-06-04T17:43:00.000-04:00Playtime with my cat is good therapy- assuming, of...Playtime with my cat is good therapy- assuming, of course, that she wants to play. But she's usually pretty good about letting me dance with her (she's a tango kind of gal). And sorry all you dog lovers but Aria doesn't drool.<BR/><BR/>Kill Bill? Yikes, IU- remind me *not* to get on your bad side.<BR/><BR/>My other favorite anger-reducing activity (that's not, you know, self destructive) is beating my bed with a pillow. And swearing. And hoping my neighbors don't hear.Carrie Arnoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569839838912988783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-28561959782932796882008-06-04T14:37:00.000-04:002008-06-04T14:37:00.000-04:00I miss my dog, she helped me a lot as a teenager!F...I miss my dog, she helped me a lot as a teenager!<BR/><BR/>For me reading poetry - Shakespeare, Cohen, Byron, Keats out loud, really loud can turn my mood around.<BR/><BR/>VickyVickyAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02441940384579516923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6561748834204284315.post-15619196632645850672008-06-03T17:34:00.000-04:002008-06-03T17:34:00.000-04:00Loud angry music.

My dog is extremely in tune with my moods, and it doesn't matter how black my state of mind is, he invariably finds a way to literally make me laugh out loud. Pet therapy can't be recommended enough!Anne-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794605931888261095noreply@blogger.com
