That's what my late mum used to say to her dog about me. When I was at home before flying the nest my parents always had dogs and like Mr Projects they're not for me, enough said......oh dont mind him
I wouldn't say I love my dog, not in the same way as I love my Mrs. or Daughter but I am very fond of her, and I would rather spend time in her company than a lot of the people I meet.......dog owners, who apparently love their dogs...
Yes - I agree about people like that. I always kept my dog on a lead.I don't like dogs at all, but what I really really really really really (x1000) hate is dog owners, who apparently love their dogs and assume every one else loves them too.
You know the situation, your out over the park playing games with the kids and some dog comes bounding over to join in the fun and the owner says something like;
"oh dont mind him, he is real friendly, he just want to sniff your crotch with his teeth"
Being wantonly slobbered all over by huge dogs, is precisely why I stopped slow jogging in parks. A gigantic great dane was the worst - it bounded at me at high speed, stood up against me almost knocking me over, then gobbed all over my face lashing with it's massive floppy wet tongue and bad breath. I feared being eaten. The owner had one of those mega long winding cable leashes, said it was harmless. E.coli isn't. It also gobbed all over my trousers, jacket and crotch. I also feared becoming nutless/Jaffa seedless. Even slow jogging on streets isn't safe - dogs used to go straining at the leash crazy barking at me more often, when I owned cats.I don't like dogs at all, but what I really really really really really (x1000) hate is dog owners, who apparently love their dogs and assume every one else loves them too.

One of my neighbours had a cat and a dog, they lived in peace for years... until the dog suddenly lost it and thrashed the cat about in it's jaws. The cat died from it's injuries a few days later.
That cat has outlived the dog. Nipper was put to sleep about a fortnight ago aged fourteen,The cat is 19 now and looks a little more scraggy than he did in that picture. The cat used to dominate any dog he ever met. He just walked up to them and licked them. For some reason they accepted him as an interesting chap. If ever they showed the wrong sentiments, he soon used his claws to chastise them. I have videos of him grooming Nipper and my partner's Border Terrier (same as Nipper - but I will avoid boring you by posting them.One of my neighbours had a cat and a dog, they lived in peace for years... until the dog suddenly lost it and thrashed the cat about in it's jaws.
