Haha!  
Some kids came to the door to collect cans and bottles this morning, and I ran to get some for them, leaving the door open. Both cats quickly made friends with the curious boys. Here's the conversation we had when I returned to the door with the cans:

Tall boy: what's your cat's name?

Me: (assuming he meant Pumpkin because he was patting her) That's Pumpkin!

Tall boy: ...and your dog?

Me: Dog!?!

Tall boy: (pointing at Elly) well...THAT!

Mark laughed raucously from the basement. Poor Elly. The kid was embarrassed to learn she was a cat, but I think Elly was even more embarrassed.

My Dog

Elly
You have to admit that her hairdo is somewhat off the wall.. Perhaps a No.2 all over would leave her a little more recognisable to little boys who don't know much about cats. I have to say that I have never seen a dog that looked like that though. I think she is a very pretty cat and has a lovely personality. I'm sure Mark didn't mean to sound derisive or anything else derogatory - he does love animals.

Re: Elly
Haha your son would like you to know that he WAS being derisive AND derogatory!
Poor Elly; the groomer went a little nuts with the haircut this time.
