- Quite right! Though in this case Penny and I are ruled, somewhat
- benevolently, by a trokia. None-the-less the rule is absolute with
- the exception of the bedroom. It is not unusual for the bed to be
- occupied by 1 husband, 1 wife, 2 cats and a german shepherd right up
- until the time to sleep. However, Penny has this talent known as a
- command voice and when she decides it is time to sleep she can clear
- that bed of beasties with a single word. Of course this only is
- effective until we gone to sleep and then they are back. This doesn't
- really bother me unless they decide to do a mass migration under the
- blankets. The last time that happened I tried to pull one of the cats
- out and she stuck a claw into the waterbed. Life got real interesting
- at that point.
