The funny thing around my house is how everyone over here is completely used to the fighting between our cat and dog. It's a common procedure for us to mechanically step to the side as a black and white blur shoots past, followed by a noticeably slower gray one. This procedure gets repeated so many times that we barely notice when a rumble like thunder echoes through our house. Sure, we yell at the dog when she starts barking at squirrels, and we even reprimand her with "Bad dog: NO CAT!" every once in a while. However, if there are people over at our house while this tumult ensues, it becomes a focal point for the conversation. They ask us how we handle it. And we shrug and say "It's perfectly normal" with a smile.
Tiffy the Pink Fluffy Yellow Llama came from a long and complicated joke made up way back in elementary school by my friend Richard. It had something to do with a strange writing assignment from our incredible english teacher. And yes, it is possible to be a pink llama and a yellow llama at the same time. Just don't ask me how.

Hey Sarah,
I’ve spent the last few days reading through your entire blog. I couldn’t be more impressed by your writing. It’s so descriptive and honest, and your imagery is really powerful. I feel like I can see the things you write about. And now I’ll always share a bit of sadness about the loss of your friend. I’m so sorry for your loss. He was obviously a very special person, and very important to you.
I agree that everything Irish rules :) I also take enormous pride in my own Irish roots (from my mom’s side of the family). And like you, it’s a personal goal of mine to see Ireland one day.
I look forward to continuing to read your blog. Thanks for sharing.

I am guessing the eternal conflict in your name is the whole cat/dog fight thing?
If so, what about the cases of cats and dogs getting along like best friends? Or is that just further proof that conflict can be resolved?
And yes, I agree with above comment that your writing is very descriptive.
