As you already know, Chloe Doodle doggie, there is Bessie the Basset Hound in my household. But since I am a pussycat, Mom took your quiz. She says there has always been a doggie in her life, ever since she was a baby. I know she luvs Bessie and luved the doggie's that came before Bessie, but I know deep down Mom is really a cat purrson. Just sayin'. Dad, on the otherpaw, well I'm still working on him. Tee hee hee. Winks. Purr purr purr.
