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.
