councilman24 37 #2 September 3, 2016 Was cat person for whole life until married at 46 and wife was allergic. Have had a carnival gold fish for kids that has survived 4 years. Then inherited maltese/yorkshire mix after my sister died. Actually now becoming a dog person. Friendly, picking up poop not so bad after you've had two kids, fetch is fun, doesn't smell too much. But can't leave a dog alone for a four day weekend.I'm old for my age. Terry Urban D-8631 FAA DPRE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowlerk 2,155 #3 September 3, 2016 Last pet we had was April's rabbit. A mini Red Rex. She got it when her daughters were young and they named it Hoppy. They can live to be up to 8 or 9 years old, but Hoppy made it to 13. Rabbits love kale, and they can have it all as far as I'm concerned. We spend too much time away to be responsible for an animal. When we had the rabbit Granny was here to help out.Always remember the brave children who died defending your right to bear arms. Freedom is not free.

ryoder 1,590 #4 September 3, 2016 Best story I've read lately, is about the Search & Rescue cat: http://www.mentalfloss.com/article/85529/cat-guides-lost-hiker-back-safety-swiss-alps "There are only three things of value: younger women, faster airplanes, and bigger crocodiles" - Arthur Jones.

oldwomanc6 40 #6 September 4, 2016 PeteWWe have two dogs and a son. Raising dogs and kids has some similarities. That's why we have cats. Two kids was enough for me. Five cats is nothing compared to a couple of kids. We have four black ( and proud of it: most people don't want to adopt them) and at the most adorable black and white kitten who has mixed up their life in the best way.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 35 #7 September 4, 2016 I've had a cat almost every year of my life. We had a dog when I was young, but then my parents found out that my brother is allergic to dog hair, so that ended my childhood with dogs. Cats are so much easier. I always say I like dogs, but I like other people's dogs. That means, I don't want to live the lift of a dog person who has to go home just to let the dog outside. With both Normiss and I working and no kids at home, I think a dog would have a lonely life at our house right now. We may get one when we retire, but that's a few years off.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AlanS 1 #8 September 4, 2016 wmw999Just interested. Heard something on the radio today got me thinking... Feel free to tell cute stories. Wendy P. Rescue dogs are the best. They love you more because you got them out of a shelter. My cousin down in LA finds spaniels and pulls them out of kill shelters. Where he lives now he is only allowed to have three dogs, so that is how many he has. As soon as I move out of my rental and back into a permanent home, I'm getting another rescue.

NWFlyer 2 #9 September 4, 2016 I have two cats, both male, both about 9 years old. The first one came to me through dropzone.com, actually. The second also came to me via a friend I met through skydiving who needed to rehome her cat. I also volunteer most weekends at my local municipal shelter, which means I get to know and work with a whole lot more cats and kittens on the regular, and work to find them new homes.

monkycndo 0 #11 September 5, 2016 I grew up with both, but am more of a dog person. My building does not allow pets, so I volunteer at the local shelter working with the pups. I get to enjoy them and they are always happy to see me. Unlike a cat. 50 donations so far. Give it a try.

oldwomanc6 40 #12 September 5, 2016 I'm a cat person, for sure. I hate how dogs are all up in your business, all the time. I don't generally hug people, Kind of the same thing. Cats just need a stern talking to and they back the frick off.lisa WSCR 594 FB 1023 CBDB 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phillbo 11 #14 September 5, 2016 HAve always had a dog in my life. I prefer smaller breeds since they are easier to travel with. My current Chiweenie Lexi goes everywhere with us. She even loves to fly and busy airports don't bother her. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
