mariespoodles: spoken like a pro love!! wish more humans would grasp what you say because it's absolutely true!! behind every good dog is a sensible human... trust me when i say i see many unstable dogs which keep me employed. hahaha!
Thanks! I commend you for what you do! It's not easy.
l0tim0l: I like all animals. I have a cat and a dog.
I defiately prefer cats. I have always been a cat person. I don't really believe in reincarnation, but if I did, I'd be sure I was a cat in a previous lifetime..
I sleep enough to have been a cat in this life, but wouldn't mind being a cat in the next.....
englishelegance: Has to be dogs for me, i had two Irish Setters until they got old and are no longer here, miss them greatly.
It is sooo very hard to lose them isn't it? I know people who won't go through the pain again so have no animals, but I think their lives are worse for it.....such a shame - I have only lived very short periods of my life without a pet and that was forced on me because of my living circumstances.
mariespoodles: I love all animals but my passion of all Gods creatures is the canine. It's not only a passion as it is also my profession (Canine Behavioural Consultant)... check out my photos in my profile... my son's sprawled out on the floor with some in Holiday Care earlier this year. I consider myself blessed to have the opportunity to work with the science of human and dog psychology every day... So in response to your thread I'll say that for me dogs rule
How did you get into that Marie? I think it would be a very interesting job and am not surprised when you say that a lot of problems would be because of the owners, not the dog or cat!
xyz777: Cats are okay I guess, but dogs are more useful and fun. You can't play catch with a cat or expect him to guard your home against intruders ( unless the cat in questions is a lion or tiger). Dogs are playful, extremely loyal and will fight to the death to protect you. They have helped men hunt, herd livestock and warn of dangers. They are used in police situations, rescue operations and of course security. Dogs in Haiti have helped find trapped people buried beneath the rumble.
Ah... yeah, Dogs are way better than Cats.
My cat plays fetch, sits up, and attacks mice. Does that count?
I like all kinds of animals, but dogs are my favorite. I love my pets. They have such personalities and are great company. When I'm outside working they run and play around me. I think they think they are human.
I am an animal lover, but I have to say I love dogs. Right now I live with seven dogs rescued from the streets. I know! You can see a picture on my profile.
Mutts are unique. I also have a thing for hummingbirds.
JayinSD: Thanks! I commend you for what you do! It's not easy.
Yes JayinSD... you're right to say not easy... but nothing that makes this much difference in a life, dogs or otherwise ever is and is worth my mind and hearts effort Thanks for the commendation
My poodle loves to cuddle up with me under the blankets now - I have not invited her she just did it when I was asleep - but she is so cute, I kinda let her sneak in now.....
Goodness knows what will happen if and when I ever find a man to share the bed with!
Cold here now, being winter, so all 3 pets just want to snuggle up now - I look forward to coming home to them every day. they are just wonderful. Will be very hard to leave them behind when I travel later in the year for a few weeks, but they will have sitters who love them still.
