Prompt + 3

Oh jeez, another question from the daily writing prompt that doesn’t inspire much enthusiasm. What is your favorite animal? – Cat – Always have been and always will.

So, time for my own made-up questions.

How much wall space in your home is taken up by kids or grandkids pictures, artworks, awards, certificates, handprints, height charts on doorframes?

We have quite a few pictures up in frames upstairs. We have 3-bedroom doorframes that measure the height of our constantly growing grandchildren. The fridge has pictures. We have a digital picture frame. In my office I have half a wall of grandkids artwork and another wall with a collage of 200 family pictures so far, it’s still a work in progress.


Here is another question. What was my favorite quote I heard recently?

A Ford UAW worker shouted “pedophile protector” at Trump at a visit to the plant in Detroit. More guts than most reporters.


And the last one. How many bobbleheads are in your home?

I believe we have 3. Not counting me.

What is your favorite animal ask the daily prompt. I would have answered this daily prompt yesterday but illness prevented me from reaching the computer.

My favorite animals are cats. We have had them as pets most of our lives. I’ve learned to love dogs also being my friends have them and my son also. Cats and I seem to be on the same page. Dogs need a lot of love and attention. A lot of times when they want it. Yes it’s a much more interactive relationship and rewarding relationship, but a few things lend cats to my liking.

I don’t have to walk a cat in freezing or messy weather. I don’t have to reach down with a plastic bag and pick up its crap. I don’t have to give up my spots in bed. Just a few things that make me more comfortable with cats.

Commentary – If you choose to have a pet, BE RESPONSIBLE. They are not disposable items. They are not to be mistreated. They are not to be ignored. And be a good owner and take them to the vet to make sure they are healthy.
