Cats rule and dogs make me cold

I arrived in Chicago around six... maybe seven thanks to traffic. I didn't really notice because I was playing "Magic Puzzles" (which is seriously addictive). When we arrived at my aunt's I was met by three dogs... my aunt's two beagles and my grandma's papillion-chihuahua mix. Since my grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer's my aunt had to take in her dog so now she has three dogs in a tiny townhouse which I have just moved into. Ironically, the dog that is the most vocal is the one least rambunctious, my grandma's dog.
Anyway, my aunt had a meeting this morning and had to be out of the house at 7am. So guess who woke up at 7 this morning? Panda, my grandma's dog, was howling, Millie, the beagle puppy, was barking and then Duffie, the older beagle, I found outside the door wagging her tail. How am I out of school and being forced to wake up earlier than I did while in school? This is just unfair...
Today was my first time walking all three dogs. Let me tell you, it wasn't a walk in the park. Literally, you could not walk these dogs together in a park. Panda walks as close to me as possible so that I have to constantly watch where I step. Duffie wants to smell everything so I'm having to stop all the time or pull her and then Millie wants to keep going so she's pulling me the other way. I'm not going to lie, I had to drop the leases a couple times to untangle them.
It seriously doesn't help matters that it's cold outside and I have to walk them tonight because my aunt is coming home late.
And people wonder why I don't want a dog and want a cat instead....
