Your house sounds as nutty as mine. They only difference is I have seven cats (three are brothers and real hooligans). I bought them 15" "sticks" filled with catnip for Christmas and the biggest troublemaker, Chip, is AFRAID of it.
It's a wonder your dogs didn't ask for ID. Poor Jack
Meanwhile, my sister and I are quietly celebrating her birthday (but NOT the number). We have enough trouble with sober people running red lights and stop signs although come to think of it, they probably aren't sober so tonight would be like any other day on the road-no thanks.
