Mom's Losing It

My stupid brother is FINALLY done hogging the computer. For a cat, he sure acts more like a big old pig! I called mom at work (it’s OK to call her on Fridays because she’s not so pissy because she knows that once she leaves for the day she won’t have to go back for two whole days) and I asked her to tell Nuno to stop hogging the computer. She started telling me something about “sharing is caring” and I don’t quite get it. Tobey used this phrase once before as well and I still don’t get it. If Nuno CARED about me, he’d SHARE the computer with me and give it to me when I wanted it and stop hogging it for himself. Then, I was telling mom how sad I was feeling and I even cried a little (it’s OK - mom says there’s nothing wrong with talking about your feelings or being a boy and crying) and I told her that my heart was breaking because I can’t see Lily anymore. Ever since they put that electric fence up, I feel like my heart has been torn in half, smashed to pieces and then ripped out and jumped on some more. So my mom started telling me that maybe Lily just isn’t meant to be with me, how broken hearts do mend but it takes time and hurts a little less each day even though I may not believe that now, and then she said something about there being “other fish in the sea”. OK, mom does know that I’m a dog, right? That I’m NOT a fish? Why on earth would I want a fish? Do I have to explain to her that I’m totally not into the whole dog & fish interspecies thing? I can swim but not well and I can’t hold my breath for long under water. How the heck am I supposed to hook up with a fish?!!! I don’t even like to eat fish! So much for getting any comfort (or sane advice) from mom. She’s obviously confused and not making any sense! Honestly, I think she’s had too much stress at work this week and too much of her crazy boss. Dad’s supposed to take her out for drinks tonight… I’m gonna tell him to make sure she has LOTS of drinks. She needs them!
