I always categorize them as "People to Avoid"

TheOriginalEd: bim1154: Cat's pee/shiat in a box, walk around in it and then go walk on the kitchen counters and your pillows. fark that nonsense.

If they even bother to make it to the box. Then they lick their ass and smear it all over the rest of their body.

meh, dogs eat their own shiat and then lick your face

And while expensive "resort" type boarding places may have a couple of extras that are just for the pet's owners, if I ever get a vacation again and don't take my dogs, the minimum is individual rooms with daily play periods and rubdowns, webcams and the option to bring their own food. I don't think that's hoity toity at all.

Agreed, and worth every penny.

You think this sort of shiat doesn't happen in other places?

My dog just licks her ass. I don't let any animal lick my face or my hands.

Out damned spot.

Have you ever had any problems with your beagle running off?

Cracked.com...this is why sane people are AdBlock+ people.

Why are Pugs picured more than any other breed? Why does the author hate Pugs?

Oldiron_79: Carth: Oldiron_79: No subby, crazy cat ladies disprove your theory. Reptile owners are the sane ones(except for the ones that get their jollies from owning venomous)

I've heard reptile owners described as a lot of different things. This is the first time "sane" has come up.

Maybe if you are a prude that considers BDSM to be insanity. Pretty much 100% of reptile owners are HELL BENT FOR LEATHER

Now that's interesting. I kept snakes as pets for years when I was younger, and developed a taste for BDSM when I got older, but the two never overlapped. Well, almost never.

SundaesChild: WhippingBoy: When I was a single man, I found the Cat-Scale to be astronomically useful (and accurate) when judging the "life-mate" potential of the women I dated:

- 0 cats: warning; may indicate she's away from home for long periods of time (e.g. "partying" all weekend with a rugby team)
- 1 cat: green; generally the hallmark of normal, well adjusted, single woman
- 2 cats: yellow; check for signs of craziness and/or entitlement (e.g. "My cats are the only men who haven't let me down, etc.")
- 3+ cats: red; Run; run like the wind; under no circumstances give your real name or phone number

What's two cats and a dog?

Heh. I dated a lady for about a year who worked with dog rescue. On our first date, I asked her how many dogs she had...she told me 'two'. I asked her if she fostered rescue dogs...she said 'sometimes'.

So, when I get to her house for the first time, she introduces me to her FIVE dogs, ranging from chihuahua to pit bull. Three of which were supposedly 'temporary', which means nobody would adopt them for various reasons so she took them home.

Then she got some more.

I actually 'shopped a "Dog Warning Threat Scale" modeled on the terrorism threat level color chart which was popular around then. She did not find it amusing.

By the time I broke up with her for good (not because of the dogs), she had NINE dogs living in her house in DC. That put her firmly in the "red" portion of the threat scale, BTW.

Sweet person, huge heart, but more issues than National Geographic.

PacManDreaming: bim1154: Have you ever had any problems with your beagle running off?

Nope, I don't let him out of the house or backyard without a leash. All beagles will take off if given the chance.

Yea, that's why I was asking. When I was a kid growing up, we used them for rabbit dogs and they were always running off. They were more for hunting than for pets. I have a friend up in Milwaukee that asked me about them a while back and I told them they were great except for that. She got one and she has had it run off a few times.
I can't say my Redbone Coonhound is much different. I do have a fenced in back yard and she could easily jump the fence but never has. The few times someone left the gate open... well let's just say we never find her close.

I have a bridge to sell Subby.

5/10

Just because a lot of people actually think that.

I concur with owangotang. I think most think potential. I think capability.

Any large dog has the capability to do serious damage with a bite. In the '70s they blamed Dobermans, in the '80s they blamed German Shepherds, in the '90s they blamed Rottweilers. Now they blame Pit Bulls. In a another few years I'm sure some new breed will emerge to terrify the public.

And with good reason. A group of dobermans robbed a bank back then. Those dogs are evil.

PacManDreaming: bim1154: Yea, that's why I was asking. When I was a kid growing up, we used them for rabbit dogs and they were always running off.

Yeah, my first dog was a beagle and he used to dig under the fence and take off. He'd come back later in the day with a rabbit or two.

bim1154: I do have a fenced in back yard and she could easily jump the fence but never has.

My current beagle used to climb the fence as a puppy, but he hasn't done that in the last few years.

Always liked the breed myself, just got use to these coonhounds the past 30 years. They're characteristics are somewhat similar.

Break a leg. That will stop her from running off. Works really good with dementia/Alzheimer patients, wives/girlfriends, and children.

Owangotang: Damn near every pet owner I've ever met loses some part of his or her rational thinking. That's ok, but it is the creepy pet fetishists that scare the sh*t out of me.

The ones who cannot comprehend why a child is in more danger when a pitbull lives next door compared to living next to a beagle.

The ones who immediately ostracize the owner of a pet that gets loose and causes damage. That owner is irresponsible, I'm not! - they say, until their pet gets loose and causes damage; then it's an unfortunate accident.

The ones who would pay any amount of money a vet demanded to save their pet.

Creeeeeeeeeeepy.

Spoken as someone who clearly has never spent time with a pit bull. They're like people (but not in the sense that you should dress them and give them parties): treat them like shiat, and they're likely to turn out mean and ornery. Treat them well, and they're well behaved and no more dangerous than any other dog. Frankly, it's the chihuahuas in my neighborhood I'm afraid of more than the pit bulls - those little biatches will charge you!

Just as all lawyers are not bad, all pit bulls are not bad either. Pit Bull lovers everywhere would appreciate it if your type would edumacate yourselves on the breed before passing judgment.

dogs eat shiat and then lick your face

[CSB]

When I was in middle school I got Cat Scratch Fever. It's carried in the fecal matter and likely was injected by my cat's claw when we were playing. The doctor called all the other doctors in to see the patient who had CSF because it was so rare that they had to catch a glimpse. Awesome weight loss program, that CSF; must have dropped 15 pounds from getting sick.

I think toxomoplasis must be really hard to get b/c after working with tons of cats (many of them feral) and their litter boxes over the years, I was just sure I had it. Got tested before I became pregnant and it was negative. Maybe I'm immune?

I have two beagles. I never let them even into the front hallway without a leash, and only into the backyard when under supervision. The older one will stay put for few minutes when off-leash but the younger one goes off like a shot.
When I took the older one for obedience lessons, the trainer was showing everyone how to get their dogs to follow off-leash. The other four dogs in the class did fine, but I stayed back with Bella on her leash. The trainer insisted I take the leash off and ask my daughter to run ahead and call her. Okay. . .
Took the leash off and Bella immediately dashed off, made a big joyous loop of the yard, and then she started sniffing the other dogs in the class. She's not a bad dog, but beagles are easily distracted and stubborn.
Wouldn't have it any other way.

I think you pretty much have to be eating the filthy litter to have it transfer. That's why there are so many warnings telling pregnant women to wash their hands or use gloves if they absolutely must clean the litter box.

bim1154: Cat's pee/shiat in a box, walk around in it and then go walk on the kitchen counters and your pillows. fark that nonsense.

Yes - it's far preferable to have an animal that takes a shiat, then licks it's own asshole, then licks your face.

2 cats is the minimum. Cats can handle being alone better than dogs, but it's still good to have another creature around for them when you're away from home.

Damn near every parent I've ever met loses some part of his or her rational thinking. That's ok, but it is the creepy helicopter parents that scare the sh*t out of me.

The ones who cannot comprehend why a neighborhood is in more danger when a mentally unstable child lives next door compared to living next to a normal kid.

The ones who immediately ostracize the parents of a child that goes crazy and causes damage or hurts people. That parent is irresponsible, I'm not! - they say, until their child hurts someone, too; then it's an unfortunate incident that was outside of the child's control... they don't know any better, of course.

The ones who would pay any amount of money a hospital demanded to save their child

Creeeeeeeeeeepy.

Subby has obviously never heard of the kitty Tardis

Dog people wish they had friends, and take on dogs as companions.

Cat people are glad they have no friends, and take on a cat to have a peer with which to share their disdain of all things not-me.

I'm pretty sure it all boils down to emotional dependency. Cat people tend to be more independent. Dog people tend to have more dependent qualities. Both types have very redeeming qualities.
