Cats or dogs?

[TiggerTrigger]

I love big dogs! It’s more to love!! I feel like big dogs don’t get enough attention, my bullmastiff would be so sad when strangers walked by and didn’t pet her. I go out of my way to pet big dogs. My DH has bought be a collection of big dog Tshirts. My current favorite is I like big mutts and I can not lie.

We do love a big mutt! I've had several stints as a shelter volunteer and I always prefer working with the larger dogs. It's the smaller breeds that I've found have the tendency to be nippy. The big ones (especially as adults) are usually pretty chilled out. I remember taking out this Great Pyrenees mix one day for a walk and some play time. This family was in awe of how mellow and sweet she was...and I'm thinking, "yup, that's a big dog for ya!" I always laugh when someone tells me our dog is big. She's about 73 pounds, which isn't small, yet it's petite compared to some of the breeds I'd like to own.

I meant "obligation" in the sense that dogs have schedules that you have to adjust your life to. You don't have to be home at 5pm to let the cats out.

Thanks-now I understand and agree. I've worked with a few people who had to run home at lunchtime to let a young dog out. And we've never had to "house train" a cat-show them a potty box and they knew what it was for.

Dogs. I don't trust cats...never have....never will.

Sometimes I feel as if they are plotting my demise.

Dogs - I'm allergic to cats

Still not sure, is this true love? Or are you going to kill me if you get the chance?

In the past, humans revered cats as Gods.

The cats haven't forgotten...

I like both, but I'd call myself a dog person.

Now how am I suppose to decide?

Okay, that looks like trouble right there! The cats are plotting. The Dog's the lookout/distraction.

Both. Right now we have an almost 11-year-old dog named Chewie. She is a small dog with a huge personality so the name fits. Then there are the 3 cats - 7 years old, 5-years-old and 5-month-old kitten. The kitten may end up being the biggest of the bunch as he is a big boy. All 3 cats get along really well except at treat time. Then they are given their treats in 3 separate areas.

My husband never wanted cats and they all cuddle with him. He loves them all now.

Cats by far, but I’m a lover of all animals.
