sartre 0 #1 March 19, 2007 While dogsitting for a friend. Dogs fart. Constantly. They love to lay near you and silently stink up the room. Dogs' tongues are smooth and they have a lot more slobber than cats do. The livingroom carpet is a much more delightful place to make doody than the back yard full of grass. No need to buy tasty treats for dogs. They prefer whatever disgusting crap they can find in your bathroom garbage can. It is preferable to barf up those disgusting items on the dryclean only bedspread rather than the hardwood floors. Dogs give a shit about whether or not you are pleased with them. This makes them much more easily manipulated than cats. No matter how annoying they can be, they are far better at watching tv with you than cats. And they'll let you watch whatever you want as long as you'll pet them.
