My dogs know enough to keep their mouth shut.

Every dog I've ever known objects to such a notion.

>>Cats are unreliable judges of character, since they don’r really like any of us, they just tolerate us (for now).<<

Dogs have masters. Cats have staff.

"I haven’t got one today, because I live in an apartment and I’m at work all day long, so I guess you’ll have to judge me by that."

No judgement here. I'm also in an apartment and most of them are more willing to allow a cat/cats rather than dog/dogs.....which is why I have 2 cats (had 3 until last December).

I love both dog and cat. If I had my own home, I'd have both cats and dogs.

No Hope doesn't like peanut butter. I tried using it to get her to take her pills years ago she just turned up her nose and walked away. Now boiled rice and chicken would work!

Seaman Anoreth with Ash, the best dog in history.

For no logical reason, outside of media hype, my ex mother in law hated my beautiful lovable Rottie....and my dog knew it.

The dog did every physical thing possible to annoy that old witch. God , I love my dog.

He knows “daddy” will give him “grillers” (treats) whereas “mommy” isn’t quite as generous...

Had to put mine to sleep. Hope that doesn’t tell much.

Dogs may tell much about a man

That may be true, but never listen to the sheep, THEY LIE!!!

At the moment we have three rescue dogs: a german shepherd/bloodhound mix, a basset hound, and a long-haired, I don’t know what, although she most resembles a brindle-colored border collie. All three had very difficult childhoods, with history of abandonment, but have adjusted well.

The Wheaten is originally from Ireland, stands 17-19” high at the shoulder, is intelligent, has a happy disposition, and is great with children. These dogs are considered hypoallergenic because they shed very little. (To be hypoallergenic is to have a decreased tendency to cause allergies. Hypo means less, not none. Hypoallergenic dog breeds will still produce allergens, but because of their coat type, will typically produce less than others. Hypoallergenic dog breeds, are those breeds that are considered the most suitable for those who suffer from allergies. Though they do produce dander, the amount is so small that very few people experience allergy symptoms when in contact with these breeds.)

OK my dog is smallish, with indeterminate parentage. The only things big about him are his ears, his bark, and his heart. No one comes near the house without him raising a ruckus. He is small, but he would defend my home with his life, I believe. He was a throwaway to another relative; he is a much-loved and valued family member to me.

I had a Rott back in high school and it was the best dog I had. Protected my little sis once against 2 pit bulls, and the PB’s backed down.

We fight over who gets to sleep next him.

One lab-thing mix and one gray-spotted-tabby-thing-mix. They both have their virtues, most notably that they seem to genuinely like people and other animals, and they follow each other around all day and keep company while I'm gone.

They also have vices. Barfy will "tell" on the cat, "Monk", when he's doing something bad - actually come get me and "wroo wroo: at me - so Barfy is a narc. And Monk, well, he sometimes does bad things involving shredding.

Still better than 90% of the humans I know.
