Yes, they are.
And they need to be.
The most adorable dogs are just plain silly, and absolutely incapable of differentiating their tail from the rest of the nature.

My friend once said "why would anyone want to have a dog? It's like wanting to have a retarded person at home." I guess he won't understand.

I love both dogs and cats equally. And - just as a dog needs to be silly, cat needs to be lazy. Another friend of mine had a fat cat who would sleep on a sofa. When he wanted to sit there, he would just grab the cat and drop it on the floor - that cat wouldn't wake up even for a second.Heart



Actually dogs are fairly intelligent. They are highly trainable, and understand more than some people think they do. Dogs do have selective hearing though, tell it to go do something and it can't hear you, say dinner and they run from across the house.
ppft! Even my goldfish swim to the surface when I call them for food 
What?

That's not the intelligent part, that is the selective hearing part.

I'm glad your goldfish swim, mine swim too, only belly up.

What you mean float?
I've had good luck with tropical fish.  Just do a little research and get the easy species.

mollies, guppies and tetras - hardest part is stopping the buggers breading - buy half a dozen of each and end up with enough fo sashimi after a few months. LOL

Sounds like you've had some better luck with the breeding than I have.  I did get one baby from some platys that survived once.  I do believe they tend to eat their young.

Oh wait a second, you said "breading" are you suggesting we should fry up our tropical fish? Tongue

By the way, for any of you who keep tropical fish pets, when they do go belly up do you give them a "burial at sea" via the toilet or something else? 

As a side note, tropical fish love you in their own special way particularly when you drop some flakes in. Big smile

My avatar implied correctly that I prefer cats although I like dogs.  They are more suited to my personality.  I had two, but the calico Tango went to the rainbow bridge in April at age 15.  Tui, the dark smoke cat, is 16 and doing well, a truly gentle soul, well, except where prey and other cats are concerned  Wink

It seems that proggers prefer cats . Do you think that we found another thing which differ us from most of the world ? First you prefer cats, then you start listening to this strange noise, then read lots of books. Before you know it you become a perfect nerde.
 
Yes. I also prefer cats.

What can a kid do between birth and age 12 or so...?  Share life with a Boxer dog, that's whatTongue
 
Playfighting, swimming, running, walking, throwing sticks, balls, watching the silly thing trying to bite falling snowflakes and so much else i can't remember. That dog was fun. And always pleased to see me when i came home from school, unfailingly loyal and as strong as an ox. Quite a beast for a five or six year old to "control" (it must have been the other way about till around then!) I didn't even have to train her - my dad did all the hard work.
 
Funnilly enough it hurt a lot when Stormy gave up the ghost all those years ago,,, as an adult, I've never owned a dog and that memory is probably why.
 
Cats? I don't mind other peoples, but no way are they for me.
It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

This is right. Cats are truly intelligent creatures, they train US.
But damn it, they're so soft and cuddly.

I do like dogs though, but I don't know if I'd ever have one. If so I'd want a golden lab, OR if I had the space a Siberian Husky. Those are beautiful animals.

I know full well my cats own me/ the family/ the house.
We have accepted this fate, in return: cuddly animals!

She's doing fine.   Drools all over me whenever I drop by. LOL  Anyone else out there have drooly cats?
The house, wreck that it is, is her best shelter and I drop by every day to hang out with her.  I'd keep her over at the apartment, but the pet deposit is outrageous.  Anyway if all goes well, we'll have a house again in the area before too long.  The two tropical fish are doing fine, too. Big smile
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...
