My cats were neurotic too. That's what made it so easy to love them...we all suffered from the same thing. Haha!

But I swear my dog is bipolar. She gets a wild hair up her butt during the spring and summer and is a lot more active than usual. Then she acts all depressed in the winter and spends most of her time sleeping by the pellet stove, trying to stay warm just like me. She also gets irritated when I have to leash her up to go outside and do her business, and has been known to nip at me. I don't blame her. I don't want to go outside in the cold either!
