    Hope this answer's your question...


    Excerpts from a Dog's Diary*

    8:00 am - Dog food! My favorite thing!
    9:30 am - A car ride! My favorite thing!
    9:40 am - A walk in the park! My favorite thing!
    10:30 am - Got rubbed and petted! My favorite thing!
    12:00 pm - Lunch! My favorite thing!
    1:00 pm - Played in the yard! My favorite thing!
    3:00 pm - Wagged my tail! My favorite thing!
    5:00 pm - Milk bones! My favorite thing!
    7:00 pm - Got to play ball! My favorite thing!
    8:00 pm - Wow! Watched TV with the people! My favorite thing!
    11:00 pm - Sleeping on the bed! My favorite thing!


    Excerpts from a Cat's 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. Al
    though 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. Bastards!

    There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonightt. I was
    placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However,
    I could hear th e 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 communicate 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..........

    :P


    I've two dogs, a Pitbull, a Staffordshire Bull Terrier and a little wench of a cat.

    There does seem to be an extreme lack of imagination when it comes to pet ownership this country. Either that or too much legal redtape. For instance, I'd love to have a pet lion or chimp that I could take round the park for walkee's. So in that regard I do wonder why I don't see them all over the place.

    Yes but do you like dags?

    Both are great pets, in different ways.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,190 ✭✭✭✭IvySlayer


    I have a puppy :) He's great.

    I had a dog before, she died, was one of the worsts day ever :( Had a cat too, evil thing. Some guy kept birds in his shed, my cat found her way in and killed all 13 of them. Had to give her a new home after that.

    Dogs are great because:
    - They are affectionate.
    - They will play fetch & football.
    - They somehow seem to know when you're in a bad mood & are extra affectionate to make you feel better.
    - They have big spiky teeth that robbers don't like so they are less likely to break into your home.
    - They just look cool.

    Cats are great because:
    - Ah, mmmmm...I suppose they kill mice & rats but a good dog will do that too.

    My grandparents had a semi-ferral Tom cat called jaws - it used to hang around the boiler house and attack visitors - evil bistard.

    I also knew someone who had a dog called fanbelt.

    Was going to call my dog, dog! Has to be more original than the usual names you'd give a dog.

    Mary.
    It works really well if the dog is male.

    We have a pet dog and when I say "We" I mean, me, my wife, my daughter and the cat.

    Our cat hated the dog at first, but when a ginger tom was bullying her and the dog chased it off, she realised that maybe this stupid, drooling smelly thing might have its uses after all.

    When the cat feels like a bigger bed, she chucks the dog our of hers, if she doesn't fancy her dinner, she pushes the dog out of the way and eats hers.

    When the cat tries to knock the lid off the fish tank though, the dog grasses her up to get her own back.

    Yes, you've probably noticed, in my house there is two women, and a female cat, even the dog is a bitch.;)

    I like the pub.

    Joshua Caddison has a cat - they went to mexico - he's a cnut.

    Had a dog for 14 yrs, loved her to bits and still miss her. Have a cat now and hes the business. Dogs and cats are both brilliant tbh and i love both equally. Yeh cats can be aloof and selfish, but if you put the effort in the love ye get from a cat (they dont give it up easily) can be just as good as that from a dog!

    I had dogs all my life but recently got a cat too.

    so now in the house theres 2 dogs and a cat. I think cats are amazing, much smarter and less demanding and whiney. dogs are cool too but sometimes they just keep annoying me and barking
