Why did I want to become an adult? Or should I say a zoo keeper!!!

You know, when I was young I use to play adult, and think it was great!!! The pets were great companions, and any problems and it was "Mom, the cat puked!" Then of course, it was, "well, clean it up!" I didn't mind so much then because my Mom took care of it half the time, I just played...
As an adult, I come home from work, and it is as if the cat exploded... a mess every where... he ate WAY to much... Ugh.... So I use half a roll of paper towels, and head to the garbage only to notice kitty litter and "Almond Rocca" (use your imagination) on my carpet that the dog had decided was a great treat out of the litter box... *grimace* So I clean up some of the mess, and notice mud and hair on my kitchen floor... now where did that come from... Dog, play with your toys... on second thought... there was fluff from the dogs sleeping bag on my floor and tore apart toys on the living room carpet... *sighs* So, I cleaned up some of that... and went to sleep, there is always tomorrow.
I wake up, and my horse needs to be exercised, so I head over and try not to repeat the previous day. The previous day my dog was bouncing around like a mad man, and I didn't want to ride my horse and then come home to walk the dog, so I thought why not take both out. So I head over to the barn, put my dog in the arena and go to grab my horse, only to see my dog squeeze through a tiny space in the arena and join me in the pasture... OKAY, DUMB DOG... your going to learn to respect the horses, for sure!!! So I grab my horse, and the other seven horses see the dog, and my dog can BOOK IT let me tell you!!!!!! The dog took off, for the barn at top speed with seven horses chasing him at top speed as well... luckily he made it in one piece, and he decided the pasture wasn't a good place to be. So, I took the horse out and the dog followed cautiously about 60 acres, then through the woods, and then out to the 60 acre field... the dog took one look at the horse following and took off at full speed for the house. Now, I have to worry about the highway and the dog crossing it, so from three blocks behind I kick my horse down, and across 60 acres we flew... the dog ran in the yard and behind the house, and peeked out...Shew... all is well... so I put the horse away and took my dog home, and he was STILL HYPER.... *grimace*.
So, today I took my horse out, walked/jogged the dog, scrubbed the floor on hands and knees, swept, and well, vacuuming will have to wait as my roommate is still sleeping. So, now it is off to work to walk the offenders.... :) On the plus side, who needs an exercise routine... and I get to look forward to tonights "surprises" when I get home....
