Actually, the dog came from a woman who breeds, raises and trains dogs on her ranch.

But thanks for reminding us all how foolish it is to jump to conclusions.

The problem is that the dog came from a petstore! Those are puppy mill puppies, they are forced to live in crates and learn to pee and poop in the crate, overcoming their natural instinct to do that somewhere out of their den. Never get a dog from a pet store! Because potty problems are the least of your problems!

I also can’t remember ever having a cat try to hump my leg or sniff my crotch. But perhaps dog lovers consider these “benefits”?

Cats don’t require walks in the snow/rain/cold at painfully early hours of the day. Enough said.

We have both now…I’ll take my dog over my cat any day of the week…although the dog is downstairs when I get home late at night and I close the door so the cat can get some “pet me nowwwww” time without the dog chasing it all over the place.

Our cats were ten times more loyal than any dog we ever adopted. More trainable, too. They came when called, listened when you told them ‘no’ … the only reason we had to get rid of them was a sudden severe allergy attack after our last child. When a person can’t get oxygen, they gotta go

All of our cats act like dogs. So does our dog. And thankfully, none of them pee in the house or chew up our stuff. I’d have gotten rid of Rowdi immediately for that — the great thing about adopting adult dogs is that you can find ones that come fully housebroken and somewhat obedient.

Moody jewelry with fur. Love it!

That definitely describes my second cat, Butch, to a tee. But Pippin truly does act more like a dog than a cat. He’s also instructed me to ask if anyone wants a cat named Butch.

Cats are just moody jewelry with fur.

LOVE IT, Mad William!

Kate, if an animal ate even one pair of my shoes, that would be the end of it. Sounds like you got a bum deal on the Daschund. I know they are generally stubborn characters, but yours sounded worse than most.

Yep and they are the best drill-instructors when it comes to train their owners.

Oh, I have to leave, my cat just rang her little golden bell …
