Sounds like our cats - I call them barnacles because if you stop moving, they settle on you.

I need to take a picture one day. If I sit still in a chair, one of the dogs will back up to me an sit on the top of my foot. Never fails...

Here's another mind blower. Caterina Campodonico sold peanuts and cakes on the streets of Genoa, and saved up her coins to be able to commission this sculpture, created by Lorenzo Orengo in 1881. He completed the work while she was still alive to see it. This sculpture is a demonstration of the democratization of Italian society in the late 1800's. While it remained a very structured and hierarchical society, for one of the first times in history even the poorest could stand up with dignity and look the rich and powerful in the eye, taking pride in what they made of themselves irregardless of the circumstances of their birth.

I was just thinking before how only the wealthy are immortalized in stone... and here I find that is not so.
This makes me feel better about society somehow.
Thank you for this information.
