i know!! get rid of the kids HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA

i like cats...but i'm allergic to em i'm also told that i'm lactose intolerant but screw that! hehe.

i used to have rabbits as pets and these dogs that the neighbour on the hill lets run about free attacked the cage, killed by big fat rabbit and my sisters got away. i was devastated, anyway...this same scenario happened 3 damn times!!!

now we have a dog that eats rocks

Meh, animals are animals. Not much else to say. They lack the little tiny bit of common decentcy we have, plus they are usually not aware or their own strength.

I have a Toby (american eskimo+poodle+godknowswhat=Toby) and he is a great guy. He is a huge help in my house in that he will attempt to keep the furnitre from floating away should gravity fail. He also serves as the door bell, alerting me if anyone is outside (or within 500 miles of the house). He also keeps the wheels on my grill shiny, and has booby trapped the side gate with some "Toby Treats" (just try getting that off your shoe).

I watch him alot, as he has a ton of personality and is very intelligent and perceptive. He always knows when I am feeling down, and will snuggle with me to cheer me up. He also loves to play, especially tug. But at the end of the day he is a dog. About the worst thing he has done is bit my hand, but I was hitting him for crapping on the carpet. He did not really mean to bite me, he was just scarred and I had him in a corner. He will pee on the curtains if I leave him in all day, which is fine case they wash easily. I could get mad, but he knows when he has done wrong and hides in his little indoor kennel.

You cannot really blame a dog, they are trainable but still have instincts. Toby could care less if I fool with his food, must mean he is never hungry.

My parents had a lab/chow mix that would not eat his food unless you pretended to go for it. He would growl and bark, but wag his tail the whole time. It was his favorite game. I guess some dogs are just different. You could take his food away while he was eating it and he just did not care.

Sorry to hear about the cat, bet it looked like that chainsaw maid claymation stuff...

Chris, in Asia, that dog would had been slaughtered, cooked, and eaten as an appetizer by drunks in the street corner.

Sorry but no animal is more important than the safety of people imo.

I have to agree. We have evolved our way out of being able to defend ourselves from most animals, so some measures must be taken to ensure that we can be safe. Fences work quite well, as do leashes...

meh...our dog eats rocks. it also has some personality and habbits. humans also protray many of the same features in a different way. (or is it the other way round?) anyway...
it too knows when it has done something wrong.
dad dont like it inside of a night time but the rest of us dont mind. so you will hear the dog creep up-stairs (they creak a LOT) and step in just the right spots so that they dont creak to go upstairs and go to her basket.
early mornin though she is IN my bed

but our dog will bite if you stirr it up, but fortunatly it seems to have not learned how to bite hard so it kinda just nibbles. then you say "STOP" and she calms down a bit so you give her a pat (petting vs patting? same word?) and she knows you were just playing.

for me, dogs seem better pet wise...
cats come in every know and again, get their attention then piss off some place to hunt something. dogs seem to hang about with you more often.

Thats because Dogs crave attention and constant approval, like a woman.

If your cat is strictly indoors, it will be alot more sociable vs and indoor/outdoor cat. It also just greatly varies from cat to cat. I love cats, they don't need/want constant attention and care taking like dogs do. They can entertain themselves easily if your gone for hours at a time like I am and don't feel like walking a dog everyday and clean up its poop and its bad house manners. And how can you not like a pet that WANTS to poop in a box and keep itself constantly clean?

If you put the litter box in a offshoot place away from foot traffic and use good kitty litter, its not that big of a deal. I gag everytime I see someone fondling their dogs fresh steamy pile on the ground with nothing between you and fresh shit but a thin layer of plastic. No thanks, i'll take fossilized kitty lumps covered in odor reducing litter using a scoop any day

Cats don't eat shit or lick their private parts and then give you sloppy kisses.
