Gemma Blue-nosed Pitbull Gemma loves to cuddle with her daddy-she likes to sleep under his legs when he’s resting on the couch. One day they were both laying there covered with a blanket that happened to have a hole in it. Since she’s a hardcore snuggler, Gemma was completely under the blanket with the exception of her nose, which was poking out of the small hole. She heard a noise outside and immediately woke up and tried running to the window...through the blanket hole. For several minutes she wiggled her snout until the hole had gotten big enough to fit her whole head through (the noise had subsequently been forgotten); soon she was wearing the blanket and desperate to escape it. I tried to get it off her head, but she was so frantic that she ended up running and tripping all over the apartment for about ten minutes before I was able to get it off of her. Once free, she immediately began poking her nose at the hole in the blanket again...some pups never learn. Submitted by megkrueger

Aston and Orion Cats Buffy Flamepoint American Shorthair Submitted by Karenann Buffy (aka Dear Little Buffy) is a flamepoint American Shorthair cat. She is loving, sweet and a little shy. She has a knack for finding the very softest spot in the house, and that is where she will take a little nap. Usually that is on a lap! Submitted by Susie Junior Terrier Mix We learned the hard way to not leave anything laying out when we go somewhere and leave him home. He got ahold of the jar of vasaline once. He got the cover off, of course, chewed holes in the whole container, and licked a bunch of it out of there. I got it away from him, showed him the jar, and asked him “What did you do?” He smiled and wagged his tail as he tried to convince me to give it back to him. Not! There are more stories, but can’t think or put them all in here anyways, so this will have to do. Submitted by Kim2014
