Dad brought home one of his golfing buddies home last weekend for beer & pizza.
He didn't like animals! Can you imagine! But it's worse than that....
Scout went to rub his ankles like he does to everyone and the guy stepped back & made a grouchy face. Mom said "That's Scout. He greets everyone like that." Then the oaf replied: "Well I hate cats." Mom wanted to send him home right then and there. Sheesh was she pissed.
She explained that Scout is gentle and that she's had him since he was a baby, and that she adopted us 3 years ago because we needed a home. "Do they do come when you call them? Are they smarter than dogs?" he said. What a dingleberry! I almost bit his ankle! Mom explained that cats are far smarter than dogs and have an intelligence beyond people.
Then he noticed the guinea pigs. "Guinea Pigs?
What good are they?" He asked. By now mom was boiling inside but outwardly keeping her cool. She explained that she adopted them one by one because they needed a good home. Their owners abandoned each one and that guinea pigs are sweet. "Well, do they get to run around and do stuff?"
Mom said yes and that they enjoy just being held and petted and when they are happy they purr just like kittens. "But what do you do with them?"
What a total idiot! "I love them," Mom said. "They make me happy." She wanted to add "a concept which you obviously know nothing about" but she bit her tongue.
Mom said after he left that she wanted to rip his hoo-ha's off and tell him: "Now these aren't good for anything either. "
Bastard.
