Sorry for the delay… Amanda has had a little drama in her life (so what else is new?), so no episode this week. Please join us next week for a resumption of the petsitting chronicles!
While we focus mainly on dogs (of the canine and human variety) here on Amanda Banana, it’s time to take a look at the behavior of that other domesticated animal, the feline, the cat, the kitty.
It’s a tale of two kitties: The best of times, the worst of times. Cats are known to have been human companions for at least 9,500 years. So for all you cat lovers out there, take a second and enjoy this diary entry from Amanda focusing on two of her charges. And all you dog lovers, don’t worry. They will return.
Amanda Banana has some words of wisdom for the ladies, and relates an experience while dog walking that led her to a realisation about men for all women - especially those that have been burned in the past by men that are indistinguishable from dogs. The good news? Leashes are cheap!
The key to getting along? Liking Grey’s Anatomy. Unfortunately, Amanda doesn’t. In fact, it’s safe to say Amanda hates it.
Think she’s alone? Guess Again. There are literally dozens of people out there just like Amanda. There may even be an entire underground movement, as this quote from Washington Post TV Columnist Lisa de Moraes shows:
Good to know I am not alone — I HATE Grey’s Anatomy, to the point where I hit mute when they show a commercial for it. Grey’s Anatomy and What About Brian are absolutely gag for me. (And I too, am I woman in my early 30s in the D.C. area).
Lisa de Moraes: geesh, there’s a whole underground movement! Come out into the light, people, and let your I Hate Grey’s voices be heard…
Don’t worry. Amanda still likes Oprah.
We take a break from the day-to-day life of Amanda Banana in order to delve into the email bag. We hope you’ll share our enthusiasm about responding to one of your comments. We’ll be back with more stories from the curb soon. In the meantime, if you’d like to email Amanda, you can do so here.
