Happy Happy

So. Three things that are making me happy today. I'm going to aim for three every day. It's a good number, I think.

1. My dogs. And the way they follow me from room to room as I'm doing housework. I do realise that if anyone ever constructs a machine enabling us to hear canine thoughts what I'll hear is: "Don't let her escape, she can reach the shelf with the dog biscuits on it." But until that day I chose to believe they just like being close to me.

2. Tiny penguins. Wearing jumpers. For great justice.

3. Shopping for icons. I got a paid dreamwidth account recently which comes with 100 icon slots. Now, usually I only bother having one icon of whichever female character I'm crushing on that month, which is pretty much appropriate in all contexts so I never really saw the point of having more. But then I realised that now I can have icons of all of the women and I'm scrolling through icon communities looking at pretty things.

Ages ago I read this Christopher Moore book, and one of the characters has a black labrador, same as me, and you get into the dog's pov and he thinks of his owner as "Food Guy" and his owner's mate as "Emergency Back Up Food Guy In Case Food Guy Dies" and it was like a light switch going on, My God, that's how they think of me.

Still, they'll do, because sadly the RSPCA would frown on me keeping a penguin in a tiny jumper as a pet.

I suspect dogs think of us with a bit more respect and affection. Cats, on the other hand... Food-dispensers, door-openers, and occasional cat beds.
