Nine Rolling Stones

 


One thing I love about Pixar movies is their premise that pets and inanimate objects around us are self-aware and interested in US. In Finding Nemo, the aquarium fish debate how Dr. Sherman should handle his next root canal. The Toy Story toys are keenly aware of Andy’s upcoming birthday, and when moving day will happen. They even know when Sid comes back from summer camp. It makes me wonder if the non-human residents at my house take a similar interest in my activities. When I sit at the sewing machine, the cat and both dogs MUST be in the room with me. The cat perches on the windowsill. Lassie curls up on any scrap of fabric I’ve dropped, and Duffy tries to squeeze between my chair and the foot pedal. If they could talk, they might say the prints I’ve chosen don’t go together. But I’m not about to take advice on color choices from dogs.
