    Came home from many a long day of work to a cat who would look at you as if to say 'well f#ck you for disturbing me from my rest', and walk off insulted that all you could afford is a double bed.

    Or walking up the stairs at 4 in the morning after a few jars and all of a sudden you see these two green dots, and then the basturd pounces and claws your chest. I nearly fell down the stairs and broke my neck one night. The cat had no doubt been sharpening those nails on my couch all day in anticipation.

    I'd take a dog over a cat any day.

    I always find it amazing how many dyslexics on the internet can spell "dyslexic" but very little else. Not aimed at you, mr. String! Just a general observation.

    I'm just amazed at the overall poor level of trolling that goes on these days. Not aimed at anyone, just a general observation.

    I have a beautiful pet dop and she means so much to me. She helped me through much crap in my life. I love cuddling up with her. I share my bed with her and she gets a pillow beside mine. I don't like it when she stretches her legs out at night and pushes her paws into my back but I still love her. I love it when she woofs in her sleep and I love her licks and I get plenty of them from her. She's a clever dog too. She knows ham lives in the fridge and she knows how to get it too. She plays games like stealing my hat or a shoe and she won't give it back until she gets ham.

    She also licks your face after she tastes her own shįt. Clever girl. That'll teach you to hog the bed and hide the ham.

    I have actually never seen a dog do that, they give it a an aul sniff alright.

    Never seen one eat it, or lick it. You just have this idea ingrained in your head. Its weird.

    True dat. One of the biggest diffs between us and all other humans around at the time and before is that we had dogs. Along with the invention of fire the domestication of the dog was up there as one of our greatest inventions. We domesticated them and they may have even domesticated us. Wolves and humans of the "stone age" were very similar in group make up and practice. Small enough family led groups of apex predators with a territory. We would be more alike than chimps and humans are as far as social structure is concerned. It's a wonder earlier humans didn't spot this. But we did and it helped both us and the wolves. With them we could hunt more successfully, they would get a more consistent food source. It was a mutual benefit vibe goin on. Today wild wolves aren't very common in the landscape compared to back in the day, but dogs are everywhere. The wolf that came in from the cold.

    Though I like cats too. They came along after we settled down and started to farm. They were dead handy at keeping grain stores free of vermin(this was long before terriers were invented) and for keeping each other company. They remained a bit wild though. Seeing us as parents, but less as a family unit/pack. That could never have happened with dogs. They're too big and dangerous, so we bred that wanderlust wild out of them.

    My collie is ,without doubt, my best friend and I'd be lost without him. Got him for my 18th and he was the best present ever.

    He's pure odd, hates visitors, every other dog and his arch nemesis is the cat or the postman, depending on the time of day.

    He's petrified of sheep, even though he's a sheepdog, and loves his backside being scratched. So much so that he backs into everyone and nudges them. Daddy thinks this is a sign that he's gay. I don't care what he is, he's a solid legend and my fat little pudding who seems to know what I'm thinking and gauges my mood better than any man!

    A dog is a great addition to a family. Recently lost my dog actually. Age 14.

    I just lost my dog Benji at the end of August. Now I'm ugly crying after reading that.

    I have a golden labrador, friend has a husky and my cousin has a newfoundland. Three of the coolest dogs ever made.

    The best thing about dogs is that there is no bull****, you can love them and they love you unconditionally. No falling out or mood swings to put up with.

    I have 3 surrogate dogs (they belong to my neighbours) that I love. Visit numerous times a day. Just walk in and curl up beside the fire. If the door is closed cue mad barking till they are let in. They know where the treats are hidden and how to let me know they want one. Had to look after them yesterday - lovely two hour walk on the beach throwing sticks for them.

    They have me well trained :D

    I hope I find a man that loves me half as much as my dog does.

    Actually on second thoughts, I could be as well sticking with the dogs!

    Dogs are the safe option. Such a relationship with another human being doesn't/will never happen :P

    True! If I told a person all I've told my dog, I'd be committed/ arrested long go.

    Never got this saying.

    My dog has it good tbh.

    Attached pic is Lulu, she's a cocker spaniel / poodle crossbreed. She's 4 months old..


    Today she awoke to a special breakfast of some Royal canin puppy nuts, followed by an early morning stroll around the grounds of the k club.

    After that she got to sleep for a few hours, stretched out on her back in the afternoon sun, then she was brought to Dun Laoire where she got a leisurely stroll around the park, followed by another bowl of her puppy nuts for tea.

    She then spent the evening playing with the kids in the back yard, followed by lying at my feet watching the new boardwalk empire, and doing doggy farts.

    So AH, do you have a dog?

    Does it have it good? Is it part of the family?

    Your floor is like timber mirror.

    How the fcuk do they eat dogs in Thailand.

    I know the rationale behind it, that they are used to it and grow up seeing dogs as we see the animals we eat but I still can't quite wrap my head around it. There are some quite horrific videos on YouTube of dogs crammed in cages at the back of restaurants, still alive, unable to move as there are so many in the one cage.

    Enough to make you go vegan, or pescatarian at least.
