Tonia's post for Stimpy

  • Mood:

"Thankyou...thankyou very much."

Hehe...no, he wasn't growling...Stimpy's plump little lips used to get stuck up under his teeth from time to time.  He liked to pretend he was Elvis. He couldn't sing like Elvis though...he barked a lot, but that's about it.

So anyhoo, here is my first 'guest post' at Stimpys journal. It's written by my best non-furry friend, Tonia.  Tonia wasn't a dog person at all when she met Stimpy (she had a wonderful cat named Willy at the time, who was my very dear friend!). It's funny, I notice that people get stuck in the mindset as either a 'dog person' or a 'cat person'. I used to refuse to like cats, much in the same way that a 'cat person' refuses to like dogs. I've always liked cats, but I refused to say that I did!! Isn't that funny!? It wasn't until I moved down here and became friends with a stray cat that I stopped referring to myself as a dog person, and started calling myself 'an animal lover'. So anyways, here is Tonia's story about her first impression of Stimpy and how she put aside her mindset as a 'cat person' and let Stimpy into her heart...

 

I was never a dog person.  I always had a cat.  I was bitten by a dog when I was younger and felt a little scared and intimidated around dogs after that.  So, naturally I was a little apprehensive when Amy called me to tell me that she had bought a dog and was going to bring him over.  She assured me that he was just a puppy and everything would be fine.

At that time, I was 6 months pregnant with Chelsea, living in a haunted house(yes it's true and you can read the story on Amy's website), with my boyfriend and my cat Willy.  I was so worried that this new dog would pee all over my place or attack my cat.  But that was the least of my problems.

When they first got to my place, all I could do was stare at this odd combination of a dog.  A what? A pitbull/pug? How the hell did that happen?  We laughed about that for a bit and I remember thinking "this dog is so ugly, it's cute!"  It was funny to watch Stimpy frolic around the living room.  He tried to become friends with Willy, but that cat would have nothing to do with Stimpy.  I'm pretty sure Willy took a swat at the puppy and Stimpy learned not to go near him again.  But that didn't stop him from going near Willy's things.

Stimpy set off exploring for a bit.  It wasn't a big apartment so we weren't concerned that he would get into any trouble.  We should have thought again.  When Stimpy decided to come back, wow, the stench that came with that little man was unbelievable.  We quickly realized that Stimpy had been helping himself to some snacks from Willy's litterbox.  We got some toothpaste and tried to get rid of the smell in his mouth.  But I think at that point everyone was pretty grossed out and Amy decided to take her poo-loving dog home.

I can't say that I was impressed with Stimpy when I first met him.  I tolerated him for the first little while.  I think I just didn't want to allow myself to like dogs.  But eventually, Stimpy found his way to my heart and I couldn't help but fall in love with the best dog I ever met!

Thanks for taking the time to write about my Stimpy Tonia. It makes me happy to know that Stimpy won you over in the end.

Go visit Tonia's journal, if you haven't already done so!
