5. Mine would need
opposable thumbs and height. They're too lazy jump very high. Oh, and my debit card. They wouldn't leave home without it...

7. When we had horses, which we did for many
years, we always said if they only knew how big and strong they were, they could take over the world.

But they don't. They are a tad dim that way.

8. Why would they do that?
They have ME wrapped around their little fuzzy paws already. I feed and play at their discretion already:)

12. I've have to wait for PG&E all day -- can't go anywhere until
they show up. And the biggest stressor is, "my poor dog -- no walk!"

lol
