not letting anyone adopt the dogs until AFTER they took a class on the specific breed they wanted and passed a written and interactive test.
If only.
I get pretty shirty with people who winge about how 'hard' it is to adopt a pet. Dude. Living creature. I don't need you to indulge your dog or coddle your cat but I really do want to know that you are aware of what it takes to keep a breathing creature alive.
I love the part of the Washington Humane Society app that asks people how much they think it costs per year to keep an animal healthy. Clue: The answer is not $50.
Hey, all, quick question...
If you had a character in a play that is an Elvis-type, and you wanted to give him a suitable name that is not Elvis, what would you call him? Cheezy or silly are okay!
ahahahahahaha
Ok - yours are the exception - they ARE the space.
Also, the only Newf I've ever seen who bonded with one person
When I was a teenager, we had a cockapoo sort of like that. We adopted Mitzi from owners who couldn't care for her anymore (don't remember why). She loved me, hated my brother. Especially when he wore overalls, which were fashionable at the time. Yes, I took shameless advantage by sitting next to Mitzi as much as possible. ("If you bother me, Mitzi will attack you....")
Mitzi eventually bit my brother once too often, so we gave her away to a couple without kids.
Cats can be, but generally, not 24/7, and they like their space.
Cats are usually lower maintenance than dogs. But each cat is different. Max loves my lap, Marie is happy knowing one of her humans is somewhere nearby.
ahahahahahaha
Hey, Ozzie is NOT A NORMAL CAT. Neither is Perkins.
Steph, insent.
And with that, I must away to doggy lama a jumping Basset mix. He's a cousin! So this should go well.
Seriously. Who expects ANY pet to be "self-maintaining"?
Cat owners.
Indoor cats (unless your home is overridden with vermin) can't feed themselves or obtain fresh water OR (I lament) change their own damn litter boxes.
