    Dogs or Cats?

    Excerpts from a Dog's Diary......

    8:00 am - Dog food! My favourite thing!
    9:30 am - A car ride! My favourite thing!
    9:40 am - A walk in the park! My favourite thing!
    10:30 am - Got rubbed and petted! My favourite thing!
    12:00 pm - Lunch! My favourite thing!
    1:00 pm - Played in the yard! My favourite thing!
    3:00 pm - Wagged my tail! My favourite thing!
    5:00 pm - Milk bones! My favourite thing!

    6:00 pm - Oooh, Bath. Bummer.
    7:00 pm - Got to play ball! My favourite thing!
    8:00 pm - Wow! Watched TV with the people! My favourite thing!
    11:00 pm - Sleeping on the bed! My favourite thing!



    Excerpts from a Cat's Daily Diary. ..

    Day 983 of my captivity.
    My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

    They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

    The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet.

    Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am.

    There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means and how to use it to my advantage.

    Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.

    I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded.

    The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicating with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now................



    Definitely a dog man myself

    For me "Dog have owners, cats have staff." I am cat person myself, dogs annoy me with their over happiness.

    Re: Dogs or Cats?

    good post Dave.. as ever

    I have both... 3 dogs to start with... down to 2 now. 1 cat came in the packages with Sair

    That cat IS a dog... hard.. large.. easily patted... not fragile... likes curry.. and beer.

    So... I like Cat's who are dogs

    Re: Dogs or Cats?

    Had cats, and still get on with them when I meet them, but I'm firmly converted to dogs now - the wife insisted that we get one initially, and now insists that we always have a dog as children shouldn't grow up without a dog in the house

    Re: Dogs or Cats?

    Cats. Every time. Without one at the minute because our last one (who really was a good little hunter - up to juvenile rabbits!) contracted something nasty along with either FIV or FeLV and decided she'd had enough, but once we know where we're living after May I'll definitely be looking to enslave myself to another one...

    Re: Dogs or Cats?

    Cats for the win!!

    Seriously, what other companion actually *knows* when you're upset and then proceeds to entertain you with a chase around the house whilst you seek comfort, only to come back and snuggle you when you've given up in dispair

    (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/) (\___/)
    (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=) (='.'=)
    (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(") (")_(")


    This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!

    Re: Dogs or Cats?

    Dogs for me.

    I don't mind cats, some seem to really like me, but i don't know why.

    My better half is getting a golder retriever pup next week, parents are thinking about getting a westie soon. Makes me happy as I can't have a dog because of how I work.

    Re: Dogs or Cats?

    Cats for me personally, got two at home at the moment, both Maine Coon - the long haired variant

    There is a cat of the same breed down my uni road as well which is pretty cool.

    I could have grown up in a house with a dog, but the dog went to one of my grandmas when I was born.
