an ode to being chopped liver

we are a household of three cats, one dog and two humans.  i am sitting in the front part of the house where we will one day have the most beautiful library and reading room EVER.  i am reading my blogs, the news, etc, and the dog keeps looking up at me with utter contempt and disdain, then gets depressed and lays her head back down.

why is she doing this?  because thomas is not home.  and apparently, this is my fault.  she refuses to eat her dinner or leave the front door.  she gets up periodically and looks out the window.  looks at me, and basically says, "you are a useless human being.  where is daddy?"

at least the cats know how awesome i really am.
