Toy poodles aren't real dogs.
Real dogs wouldn't put up with such demeaning treatment, either.
i'll agree with you there, wily. when i'm talking dog, i mean a dog. like a german shepherd. or a newfie. paraphrasing myself with regard to putting things like lettuce on burgers: poodles aren't dogs, they're what dogs eat.
ares, the correct phrase is snack on a leash.
When I think of dogs, I think of Labrador retrievers and Rhodesian ridgebacks.
Rhodesian ridgebacks are beautiful dogs.
snack on a leash.
i like it.
Although my vote is for cats, I'd like to say that in practice, you have good cats and bad cats, just like you have good dogs and bad dogs.
Given the choice, I'll take a good animal over one that's been made mean by nasty humans.
What Chester said.
I like cats and dogs and it's really wonderful when they get along-
Bonnie takes care of the kittens.
Aw. That's a cute picture!
That is SO cute!
It might just be the cutest photo I ever shot.
Bonnie was the sweetest dog.
Oh Maggie that is adorable! Makes me want to just cozy in with them :)
1 vote here for my dog, Taiga and 1 vote for my cat, Grace -I love them both - eh, well...I love my cat more. She was missing for 2 whole days last week and I almost called out the help of the coolercrew to 'search for her' but she came home. The dog gets my vote for safety/protection issues but the cat gets my vote for greeting me each day by jumping up on my car after I pull into the driveway :) warm fuzzies
palina-joesy
This pic was taken last week- Taiga & Beans
I often did! Love pile!!!
1 more Cat.
But I think this cat and dog got a little TOO close:
There's something very disturbing about that pic.
And while I do NOT concede wily's point that poodles are not 'real dogs', I will confess that I have a weakness for German Shepherds and black labs. Big, beautiful, big-hearted dogs.
In fact, they could almost be cats! ;)
There's something very disturbing about that pic
You guys got something against interspecies relationships?
As a kid I had a black lab named Duke. He was my best buddy from the time I was born until we had to put him down when I was 13.
God I loved that dog!
You guys got something against interspecies relationships?
Yes I do.
::shudder::
There was a news of the weird story about a guy that wanted to marry his dog. That's all I remember about it though.
(and btw - two of my neighbours have given me proxy because they don't have net access - two more votes for cats - lol)
YES! YES! HELL, YES!
Black labs are so great, just big goofy loving dogs :)
The ONLY bad thing about my Duke was when we'd go to the cabin, he'd spend all his time in the lake. Boy did he stink when he got out. Since he was my dog, I'd get stuck in the very back of the stationwagon with him. He with his head out the window as dogs always do. Me with my head out the window so I wouldn't have to smell him.
ya know, i've seen me2's dog taiga. she's weird. she's got this nice low growl when she's all nice and cozy. something kinda unnerving about that.

BWAHAHAHAHAHA! anna, I had that pic as my wallpaper on my Mac for a very long time. One of my all time favorites! :)
anna s 5/23/02 6:08pm
Ooops, I would have missed this post if not for LL.
LL, will you vouch that Anna is an honorable person and I may count her votes?
Two more for Cats!
Anna, did you vote?
AND she is in Australia, which only goes to prove the world-wide preeminence of felines.

Heh, see, that is the problem with black labs, if there is ANY water ANYwhere nearby, they are going to be in it. :)
When we were growing up we had a dog named Chief who was a collie-Shepherd mix, smartest dog I've ever known. Anyway, we went to visit my grandparents on their farm, and on the way home all us kids were in the back of the van with Chief when suddenly he got violently car sick.
Which would have bad enough even without the fact that he had been up in the pasture eating horse and cow manure all afternoon!
One of the worst afternoons of my young life.
THX 1138 5/23/02 6:17pm
Who me? No. Never been here before in my life. Only just discovered the place. Honest. Truly Ruly. L.Lionne will vouch for me ;-) lol
YAY - one more cat vote!
<hanging head in shame>
THX - I did vote earlier....but now that I've been a good girl & 'fessed up....you will let the extra vote stand, won't you? ;-)
LOL
Anna, the first post I see of yours here is the vote for your neighbors. I don't see a vote from you.
One more for cats for Anna.
THX 1138 5/23/02 6:12pm
Oh my gosh. I'm feeling mighty icky right now.
ya know, being the folder owner, you can modify that post any time, thx.
To change it, I'd have to look at it again.
LL -that is probly why Chief got sick---eeeeeeeew
THX-my mom-in-laws dog stands in the lake all summer and watches the fish but never catches any. I agree PU!
weird dog.
Urg.
The way dogs smell when they are wet is just another reason everyone should vote for CATS! ;)
THX-my mom-in-laws dog stands in the lake all summer and watches the fish but never catches any.
Mine would go up on the dock, jump in after the fish, then do it all over again.
i've got one even better. my neighbors have a cat. he's quite well trained. from the day they brought him home, when he was outside he was on a leash in the back yard. well, he developed this habit of chewing through the leash. and every time he did, he never left what his confines would have been had he been on the leash.
My current cats:

Freckles is now "Scooter", BTW.
so bob and scooter will now actually sit in the same location and be sociable to each other, huh?
Yep. They even rub noses.
is bob still plotting his revenge against you?
Doesn't appear to be.....
Should we just call this thing in favor of cats, or what? 'Cause I still have a few more folks to troll for cat votes, if need be. ;)
And for you fence sitters out there who still haven't made up your minds, go to this linkand tell me you can resist a species this cute!
Oh I can resist L.
I can because if my butt is buried in piles of rubble it's not a cat that's gonna save me. If I am back in the service and I am breaching a building that is dangerous, the dog will go first. If I am alone he will help me. If I am flying on a plane he/she will be the one sniffing for explosives. If I am blind he/she will help me live. If my house gets broken into he/she (might) help protect my family.
And puppies are waaaay cuter than cats. Sorry, can't help it, I'm a dog guy. I think I'll head to the dog show this weekend and cruise for votes :)
Unfair! Unfair! Foul!!
No going to outside venues to sign up new users--'cause I didn't think of it first!
But seriously Luv2Fly, I never had you confused with a fence sitter! ;)
Unfair! Unfair! Foul!!
uh-unh. if you can troll for votes. he can troll for votes. of course, now you have to go to the cat show to round up some new names this weekend :)
The gloves are off.......Let the chicago style vote getting begin ! ;)
The first dog vote just came in. A guy by the name of A. Lincoln from Washington D.C writes : Dogs are the most noble creatures and are not created equal, compared to cats they are a more noble beast.
Sincerely, A. Lincoln Washington D.C formerly of Springfield Illinois.
What do you know, another dog vote by another resident of Washinton D.C writes : Dogs, definately dogs. My dog checkers is very loyal You won't have dogs to kick around anymore, Sincerely R. Nixon, Washington D.C
These votes have been verified by the dog lovers association of america.
Have a good weekend, ...See you at the dog show ;)
Or I'll have to trot out Colette, Poe, da Vinci and PLENTY MORE, buster!
