I'm currently in a house with 3 greyhounds (2 charmers, and one temporary resident whom nobody really likes (=she ate my pie, that squeak!) )
Those things are the cats of the dog world, with two exceptions: like many other sight hounds, they view cats (and small wuss-dogs) as prey. Unlike other dogs, they've got the top speed to catch cats.
Outside of that, total cats. Sleeping in the sun, a few antics, more sleeping. They know their names, but usually don't bother coming. Worthless as guard pets (Except for their sizE)

I will readily admit that i dont like dogs.

I dont know what it is about dogs, but i just dont trust them. I think it has something to do with the way they move about. It seems that they are always just kind of stumbling around and lunging at everything. They are just unpredictable.

It seems almost everytime i see a dog it will start yelling at me and bouncing around like it wants to do harm to me. I think (make that I know) that they are actually aware of the dislike i have for them and respond accordingly.

Of course not EVERY dog is like this. I get along with golden retrievers just fine for some reason. But that is about the only breed I can handle.

I guess the only other dog i really got along with was a 3 year old rotti named "gunner." The dog was massive and intimidating but had a heart of gold. In fact she was an outright pacifist. It never showed any aggression unless it seemed like two humans were going to fight. She would get right in between the two (or more) people and growl and punch them (yes, not bite, but punch) till the fight was broken up. For a "party house" that was usually full of drunken teenagers, there was never a fight when gunner was around.

I myself have two cats, Thompson Jehovah Chuckledust (orange tabby) and Captain Beauregard Schmoo-Didley (ret.) ( an all black cat.) I wouldnt give them up for the world.

They both have very distinct and pronounced personalities. Tommy is the lazian cat that protects the place from foe, both canine and human. No word of a lie he once woke me up using the cat head ramming method to alert me of a fight that was going on out front of my apartment where it was two on one and the two were brandishing golf clubs. A quick call to the cops prolly saved that poor SOB's life. Once he had gotten me awake he just jumped to the window and started howling. I wouldnt have known had it not been for my cat.

Then there is Beau. Dumb as a bag of smashed hammers but really affectionate. If I am playing AH he is right there on top of the monitor following cons and batting at the mouse cursor. He also appears to understand hockey and always sits down with me on the couch for Saturday night hockey.

Last quirk about Beau is his love of water. He is always in the bathroom when water is running and wont drink out of any sort of water bowl. Just the sink or tub. In fact on one occassion after running a bath then leaving to check my email etc... i came back to find Beau standing neck deep in the tub water with a blissfull look on his face.

I guess i like cats over dogs because of my independant nature. You own a dog, but you roomate with cats.

~~P.S. Tommy is a huge fan of craggenmore on ice.~~

Meosha...

Part coyote (according to the vet), all squeak. On the plus side, she has hated every boy my daughter ever brought home.

When i was little and living on the marine base I wandered away from home to the neighbors dog an afghan hound, very pretty dog so I hung out there petting it and it was very nice..

When I had to leave, like any child would, I went to hug the doggy goodbye..The neighbor rushed me home with a rag trying to stop the blood coming out of my head and I almost lost an eye.

I guess what I'm saying is that the ones that bark don't always bite, and the ones that wag their tails aren't always as nice as they seem.

I still love dogs, cats, horses most of the furries (a few of the non furries like chameleons) but I've been bitten, scratched, kicked and trampled by a few individuals.

Either I'm just stupid and don't learn, or it's the fact that you can find bad apples in everything and good apples as well.

The only thing I will have nothing to do with is big nut-eating birds..they hate me, I hate them it's all good.

Geese, ducks, hawks all of those are good but macaws, african greys, most other sharp beaked pet birds just try to kill me I think no matter how nice I am to them.

"Dogs are yes-animals, for people who can't afford yes-men"

"Cats are poetry in motion, Dogs are gibberish in neutral"

Nah, OK, dogs are alright, if you don't mind the baths, the slobber, the piles of dogshit all over our city, the bad breath, the incessant licking, the incredible amounts of hair shedding.

But don't get a cat if you want companionship, although they are great for finding where the hot water pipes run under the floor.
