All this week I've gone to bed determined to get up for a run and woken up having pressed snooze a bajillion times and almost late.<BR/><BR/>I think I need a foghorn...or no snooze.<BR/><BR/>I have a cat who thinks he's a dog too...it's the best of both worlds.

She'll stand in the doorway trying to decide whether she wants to be indoors or out. Or else if I let her out, she'll immediately turn around and want back in again. She's not gotten around to purring yet, luckily.<BR/><BR/>We've done a few Ask Cranky Fitness posts in the past, but they don't always get many comments, so I wasn't sure how popular they were.Merryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09660495393832517684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-62401327517255249172008-07-31T10:25:00.001-04:002008-07-31T10:25:00.001-04:00What about those of us who have dogs that were reincarnated as cats? My cat LOVES to run laps back and forth across my tiny apartment, from the window across the couch, over the armchair, up on the table to the top of the freezer and back. I'd love a dog, but I'm often gone for 12-16 hours at a time and dogs unfortunately haven't figured out the litter box thing. But a doglike-cat works perfectly for me!Lethological Gourmethttp://leth-gourmet.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-1087370901914063602008-07-31T10:25:00.000-04:002008-07-31T10:25:00.000-04:00Very good..funny!Mark Salinashttp://marksalinas.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-19442086794016212882008-07-31T09:35:00.000-04:002008-07-31T09:35:00.000-04:00Yes, definitely make this a regular feature on Cranky Fitness. <BR/><BR/>I LOVED it!Jennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12985152906442560096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-19142021525415349952008-07-31T09:31:00.000-04:002008-07-31T09:31:00.000-04:00...and those of us who *would* have both if we weren't allergic to one of them.<BR/><BR/>Mary Anne, catless in KentuckyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1704170106558126102.post-46783957757774025942008-07-31T09:17:00.000-04:002008-07-31T09:17:00.000-04:00They're telling on me?
