Many people think that a cat is more exotic and fancy but I am here to inform you that you shouldn’t believe a word those crazy cat lovers say because dogs make the world go round here are 10 reasons why dogs are better then cats.
1. You can train a dog better than a cat. Have you ever seen a cat sit on command? Roll over on command? Stay? Neither have I.
2. Dogs are smarter. Have you ever seen a dog fall into a fish tank? I haven’t either.
3. A dog can protect your home much better than a cat.
4. Dogs are better suited to lead you to a more active lifestyle. Have you ever seen anyone walk their cat?
5. There are a lot of things cats will jump up on that dogs won’t. The cat I had for a month would NOT get off my computer keyboard. Dogs won’t do that. I’ve also seen cats up on kitchen counters. Your dog also won’t climb a tree.
6. Dogs are much more fun to play with than cats.
7. A dog knows when you’re sad. And he’ll try to comfort you. Cats don’t care how you feel, as long as you remember where the can opener is.
8. Dogs will wake you up if the house is on fire. Cats will quietly sneak out the back door.
9. Dogs are Happy. Dogs think your the best person in the world even if you are grumpy, when you come home from school or work your Dogs will be there licking your face and jumping around and they cant wait to see you, while cats don’t notice if you are there or not as long as they get their food.
10. Dogs Listen. When you talk to dogs they will make faces and tilt there head and try to work out what your saying while cats just meow and walk away.
I hope you agree with the above reasons if you have anything to add to the list or disagree with one of them just comment below.
Am Staffs will go up a tree like a squirrel.
YouTube is full of them doing so.
Pretty cool, really.
[the difference is, once up the tree, *they* know how to get back down by themselves]
But Vote for Mittens!
For a five mile stretch on RT 40 this past Friday, *everybody* had their cars broken into and a lot of stuff stolen, even when the cars were parked near houses with lights on.
The neighbor just a hundred yards away at the end of my lane got hit.
Our unlocked vehicles were untouched, with iPads, GPS units and iPhones in them.
Why?
A big ass EuroDobe watches out the window, 24/7.
And he did bark but I never bothered to get up and see why.
Out of the dozens of people hit, we’ve still got our stuff.
Thank God dogs BARK.
When growing up we had a German Shepard that would climb a tree on to the limbs of a tree to go after cats. She would jump up on top of a 6 foot block wall and walk along the top of the wall daily. She would climbed a ladder to get to the roof. She hated cats which is another story.
She would look both ways before crossing the street which was interesting to watch in itself because she didn't stay in the backyard she just roamed the neighborhood. Friends seen her avoid dogcatchers like it was no problem.
She will out rat/mouse any feline on earth, up to an including coons and possums.
Also, a cat won't bury the evidence, unless *you* are the evidence. :-)

[most people are averse to animal dung in the house...go figger]
Am sure you will get a laugh from this one:
Why Some Men Have a Dog And No Wife:
1. The later you are, the more excited your dogs are to see you.
2. Dogs don’t notice if you call them by another dog’s name.
3. Dogs like it if you leave a lot of things on the floor.
4. A dog’s parents never visit.
5. Dogs agree that you have to raise your voice to get your point across.
6. Dogs find you amusing when you’re drunk..
7. Dogs like to go hunting and fishing.
8. A dog will not wake you up at night to ask, “If I died, would you get another dog?”
9. If a dog has babies, you can put an ad in the paper and give them away.
10. A dog will let you put a studded collar on it without calling you a pervert.
11. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don’t get mad. They just think it’s interesting.
And last, but not least:
12. If a dog leaves, it won’t take half of your stuff.
To test this theory:
Lock your wife and your dog in the garage for an hour.
Then open it and see who’s happy to see you.
So, should we extrapolate that you shoot dogs?
[and there’s *nothing* more rank than the smell of a house full of cats, especially if there’s a tom who “marks”, which they do...and often]
That boar fed the dogs for a month. I eat the small ones.
If Renfield disappears, I won’t even notice.
[Bob weighs 18 pounds now and at 7+ feet, I don’t think I’d even see any “lump”]
I remember the original “Blue Knight” movie which starred William Holden, not the TV series.
He was sitting in a cafe that was on his beat. The conversation of the ‘regulars’ in the cafe turned to cats.
One ‘newbie’ sitting at the bar of the cafe said, “I run over every cat I see! HAHAHA!
Evey time I think of that I have to laugh.
“11. If a dog smells another dog on you, they don’t get mad. They just think it’s interesting.”
I don’t know, I got a few odd looks from my dog after I petted another dog.
I’d swear the dog was thinking “How DARE you.” But then, she was highly intelligent.
JRTs [and most terriers, for that matter] were created to mass exterminate vermin.
The “but cats kill rodents” dog...er...cat won’t hunt.

How the DOG came to be called DOG
A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to “Where do pets come from?”
Adam and Eve said, “Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us every day. Now we do not see you anymore. We are lonesome here and it is difficult for us to remember how much you love us.”
And God said, “No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.”
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve. And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his tail.
And Adam said, “Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.”
And God said, “No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.”
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them. And they were comforted.
And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said, “Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.”
And God said, “No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be with them forever and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of adoration.”
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat’s eyes, they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings. And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased. And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn’t give a shit one way or the other.
LOL
