"It is believed that some people love their animals so much, especially their cats and their dogs that they not only treat them as their children, but they and their pet start to identify with each other so much that they eventually begin to look like each other. Now, all this I can well believe and because I know what it feels like to love an animal, I can even view this kind of behaviour as being perfectly natural and in no way bordering on neurosis; but I draw the line when it comes to having the hair of both pooch and owner washed, permed and set at the same hairdressing salon. What next? They'll probably want them on their bed next as they boot the old man out of it!" William Forde: July 6th, 2014.
