V AG drivers. Dogs v Cats.

[Spyda]

Dogs, as long as they are an intelligent breed, I can't stand stupid disobedient dogs.

Gizzy is obviously comfortable in front of a camera, very cute

My neighbours have 5 dogs (4 small yappie things and a big bugger), they bark so much, its like living next to a kennel

This is the one thing I don't get with some dog owners, they seem to not hear their dogs barking. Does it become white noise? A while back we approached a neighbor about their dog barking non stop nearly every night, they claimed they didn't hear it. How is that posible?!?

Don't get me wrong, I do like certain breeds of dogs (a Black Lab would be my pick), I just don't like lazy owners who couldn't be bothered to train or exercise their dogs.

I've got 2 Labrador pups, a brown one and a black one. Right now they're a little disobedient, but they're getting better everyday.

When they're together they are really hyperactive and they get jealous of you're giving one of them attention. But on their own they can be really calm and obedient.. Still can't wait till they grow a little.

Cats.

Look after their own cleanliness, exercise, and waste disposal.

If they're outside cats it likely that they're going down drains (no amount of licking is going to get that mank off. Then they come home and jump on your kitchen counter ) or out hunting native wildlife

just got this:

1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.
2. Dogs don't notice if you call them by another dog's name.
3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.
4. A dog's parents never visit.
5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.
6. Dogs find you amusing when you're drunk..
7. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.
8. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, "If I died, would you get another dog?"
9. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.
10. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.
11. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don't get mad. They just think it's interesting.
Last, but not least:
12. If a dog leaves, it won't take half of your stuff.

To test this theory:

Lock your wife and your dog in the garage for an hour. Then open it and see who's happy to see you.

His dad is Dogue de Bordeaux (French Mastif) and his mum is Boxer

i don't normally go for mixed breeds but that one works nicely!

my next dog will be a mastiff of some sort i.e. french, neo or bull

No real surprises in this thread.

For me: cats.

No no no, no fence sitters or donkey vote 'sometimes...' options it's one or the other that was very deliberate. :p

Stupid disobedient dogs are usually a reflection of their owner. Dog obedience classes are to teach people how to be good dog owners...

How often do you see dogs laying cable on someone elses lawn or in a park and it not being cleaned up?



Easier to clean it up out of a tray than off a lawn. I maintain gardens for a living and I hate nothing more than having to clean up urban landmines before I start on someones garden.

Nearly slipped into a clients pool a few weeks back becuase their dog laid a fresh one on the decking right next to the pool, couldn't see it becuase it was the same colour as the deck.

How often are dogs left to roam on their own, unattended/unsupervised? Plenty of owners pick up after their dogs. I always have. People don't know they do because they leave no evidence behind.

Not having a go at you, of course. I know it's frustrating because I've had to clean up poos before doing gardens too but at least it's my own garden, not someone else's lawn. Fortunately our dog only does it in one spot in the garden and we clear it before the gardener comes. I nearly slipped on a ROAD because a dog had so conveniently deposited a turd on a wet road at night, right in the middle so that cars wouldn't run over it.

I was more referring to the expectation that cats don't need to be cleaned up after, which is a rather inconsiderate notion. The hair balls they hack up are almost as bad. They reek something chronic.
