The cat and dog are out of the bag

Today has been a day full of turmoil and stress. It all started with a load of laundry and will end with me ripping my hair out. Early this morning I rose to walk my dogs Shoki and Deimos. I fed all my pets even Skynyrd's, my cat, bowl was empty. I knew that I had to work that evening so I placed my clothes in my washing machine. I went about my day, then Deimos who is still a puppy had an accident on my hardwood floors, and I had to go get the mop out of the laundry room. As I stepped outside, horror awaited. My laundry room had water pouring out of it and flooding my carport. I screamed and open the door quickly. Apparently what happened was my laundry machine drain had become clogged, thus forcing the sink in that room to overflow and not empty. I still am not completely sure how this happened, but that's what they say. So I call my husband and tell him what is going on. He tells me to call his Dad. He is in bed and offers no assistance. So I call Crow back and he tells me to call our landlord. I did and he says he is on his way while I am walking up to the store to buy drain cleaner. He is pulling up before I can hide my dog and cat. You see we had permission to have one Dog, Shoki. Well, when we moved in we snuck in our kitty Skynyrd and recently we just added Deimos to our family. I feel that I should tell you I love my animals like children. I am very protective and defensive about them. So he enters and asks how many pets we have. I tell him three. Right away he tells me that two have to get out. I just stare at him like he is insane and don't answer. Well, we fix the sink (though I think it is only temporary) and again he tells me I have to get rid of two of my animals because I only had his "permission" to have one. I looked him dead in the eyes and said "No, I can tell you right now that I wont get rid of my animals." He then scolds me for sneaking in my pets, but informs me that we will have to pay for any damages that they do. He then points out some scratches in the cabinets that are clearly from 1932 and says my dogs did that. I told him that no they didn't. He ends the conversation with "You will pay for what I say you will pay for and you wont argue." I replied simply "maybe" and he left.
Now I know that I have probably bored you, but this has been eating me up inside all day. I was terrible today at work and when I got home I was in an awful mood. So now that I have put my day out into the world maybe I can move on and enjoy the rest of my night. Thanks for listening, and don't worry Skynyrd, Shoki, and Deimos wont be going anywhere.

Funny, sad, cute, and animal-friendly all at the same time. I love it.
