favorite dog??

[Syhto]

ive got a shepherd/rott mix and he's awesome, really cute and handsome, plus obedient and nice and loves people, never pulled on the leash at all and loves squeaking his toys at me when i get home

love cats too, i really just love animals. i never got why people werent connected to animals but some people just aren't drawn to them, usually just scared or cant deal with them or both

people usually say, i dunno why you like dogs, they just are loud and scratch you and are in the way, and smell, don't offer anything. same people usually aren't that into nature and stuff too I've found but some people love nature but hate animals ~_~ people are confusing. but i think its mostly cause they suck at interacting with animals, usually cause they never grew up with any and have no practice or they harbor some sort of resentment because of a few animals they met in the past scratched them or barked too loud in their ear or something

anyways omg newfies and there was this corgi/collie mix puppy today that was so pretty and sweet and she still had puppy breath 2

Here's a story get ur tissues.

I had a newfoundland when I was growing up, he found us (he was technically a chow/newfie mix, but still...)

He became the neighborhood dog, he'd be there when I woke up and would greet me, I'd feed him and play with him for a bit then go to school, then he'd join my neighbors on their walk to guide them (they were older and we lived out in the country, so I guess he assumed they needed help), then would go visit the neighbors about half a mile down where the kids would ride on him and stuff. Snow would come and he'd rescue the kids if they got stuck by wandering over to them and letting them hold onto him while he was dragging them out of the deep snow. If we went fishing, he'd go swimming with us, and the only time I ever heard him howl (or even bark viciously) was when a siren went off while watching Halloween 2 (the original) and it startled him.

He did that for years, never had any complaints with him, he was always the sweetest dog. When he was probably 10, I was in college, and I got a phone call. My dad was telling me that my cousin had been coming up the drive and smacked him, knocking his hip out (which is fixable, mind you) and that he was in a lot of pain. So I assumed "hey, I'll come down to see him, then they'll get him fixed up, and everything will be okay!"

about 2 hours after telling my dad that I was coming down, my stepmother called me and said "Don't come down, we put him to sleep." *Click* That was the end to my dog, Mister B (Mister Big Black Dog, I didnt name him). Put down because my stepmom couldnt stand the idea of me coming down to see him.

This isn't the first time that she'd done something like that, she refused to take my mom's old mini schnauzer to the vet "because it was expensive" and gave it sleeping pills until it died. It took something ridiculous like 40 pills, the first 20 they gave him just perked him up and he was back to being his old self. My mom also had a malamut who was named Riley (Riley! Whats your name? Rahreh Roo!) that she refused to give heart worm pills, so, again, the malamut, the most majestic dog I'd ever seen, died when he was like 5.

your stepmother is a cruel bitch

agreed

My favourite dog is called a cat because I know this will sound really embarrassing, but I'm absolutely terrified of dogs.

If I weren't too lazy I'd scan a photo of the dog I grew up with, Moki. She was a mutt, but she looked like a border collie/corgi mix with long hair. Sooo full of energy and would jump up on everyone, but was great with toddlers who didn't know better and would pull her fur. I have a framed photo of her next to my desk, but none of my family, friends or husband. >>

No pets right now. As soon as I'm in a house that's gonna change.

If you didn't, you should have come visit them anyway to slap her.

Grew up with always having rotts, and they're pretty awesome, but are stubborn as hell, which can be kind of a pain. My favorite dog I've owned was a Pitt, best damn dog ever. Can take a beating when playing, has infinite energy, aren't so smart they're annoying or so dumb they're impossible to teach, and you can actually rely on it to defend your house. Hate hounds (boo wooo woooooooooooo all day -_-) and most small breeds, and sheps are kinda neurotic for my tastes but they're okay otherwise. Thinking about getting a Doberman, but I've never actually met one so yeah.

Also, Danes. Danes are awesome.

They also walk through their own shit and piss on the regular, and claw your things, and are usually assholes. And god help you if your cat sprays. Also the smell of cat piss in general is about 900x worse than dog's. Dogs don't have hairballs either. Also when a dog plays with you you don't normally run the risk of getting scratched or bitten up.

lol all the shit you just talked about on cats never happens to me.

dat stereotype~

guess i'm lucky then. i've owned like 6-7 cats in my life and they've all been awesome.

same with dogs, all been awesome.

sorry your experiences suck man ;/

[speeddemon]

Oh that's not to say I don't like cats, I was more pointing out that trying to say one is better than the other is kind of a silly idea. They're both pretty good pets and each species and each breed within each species has many different pros and cons that cary in importance from owner to owner. If you want a less active pet, get a cat. If you like exercise get a dog.

my dog was personally capable of wiping his butt on short grass or carpet in my house by doing the sit n scoot

my favorite attractive post

i find attractive's posts hilarious most of the time, either because
1) they're so awfully retarded
2) the sarcasm flowing from them is the most hilarious thing on ffr in years
