Thanks, I actually have three dogs. I was thinking of my oldest, a lab/shepard mix. Best dog I ever had.

Dogs do make amazing pets, Ive always wanted a monkey (granted a very very small one) but I enjoyed having dogs as pets when I was growing up.

How old is he or she?

Aww...that's...that's just wrong... I take it you don't like dogs much?

I love them, if they are cooked right. People, too.

How old is he or she?

She is 8 years old and still full of puppy. Her name is Buttercup because when she brought her home she was a creamy yellow color. She is one of those once in a lifetime dogs. A combination of brains, bravery and personallity. She is always getting her way through trickery. My other two are Mandy and Phantom.

Mandy is a border collie and ? mix. She looks like a small border collie. Just as dumb as a brick but she is a lover dog.

Phantom is a pure bred great dane. 140 pounds of pure coward. My wife took him for a walk one day and a man approached. Phantom took one step toward him, barked and then ran in the opposite direction. Good thing the man was harmless.

How old is he or she?
I just noticed, we both live in Maryland.

Dogs are great. Mine is a Rhodesian Ridgeback, once (and maybe still?) used to hunt lions in Africa. Great for scaring doorknockers with too. Until he goes and grabs one of his teddybears. :rolleyes::)

Remember - puppies aren't just for Xmas.
They're also for Xmas dinner.

Sounds like my dane: Full of sound but no fury. We can't leave him out when company is over. He wants to sit on everyones lap. Then he likes to get in the middle of the floor and make love to his stuffed dog. But only when there's an audience.

Don't we all? Sounds like my last office Christmas party...

LMAO.

Thats what he's like. But I get the feeling that he certainly could be nasty if he wanted to. I recall one salesman doorknocking a few years back and the dog was pretty damn serious to say the least.

Dogs are great. My 16-year-old (112 cat years) cat is the coolest cat on the planet. He is a love cat -- full of warmth and purrs.

I love cats too but my wife is allergic. :(

When I was a kid we had two cats and a dog. My brother trained one of the cats to climb up his body while he was standing and curl around his neck. He taught that trick in the winter while wearing a big coat. It was a trick my brother regretted when summertime came and the cat did the same trick when he was wearing shorts and a tee shirt. :eek:

P.S. My brother was wearing the shorts and tee shirt, not the cat. :)

#1 A person says, “Get back to work”.

Ooh, talking dog. Now that I would take.

Since "Zooke" is short for Zookeeper, I'm not going to tell you how many dogs we have. Leave it to say the legal limit. My oldest is a 17 year old Pom, (Dolly Doodle)...dumb as a sack of rocks, deaf, almost blind, and no teeth. But, she has a good appetite, is still very physically active, and is a 4 pound bundle of love. Our youngest "child" is a 1 1/2 year old Schipperke, Sophie, who spends most of her time ricocheting around the house and yard. Dolly can, and does, whup her butt on a daily basis. Poor Sophie.

Ooh, talking dog. Now that I would take.

Dogs "talk" constantly. You have to speak their language though.
"Let's play" is: Put your forearms on the ground, and while kneeling keep your butt in the air, bark and shake your head at the same time.

I only recommend this in the privacy of your own home. Trust me on this one. :D

The great thing about dog language is that it is universal anywhere in the world.

My main reason: Dogs are always friendly and receptive while humans are cold and rude. I have a Portugese Water Dog btw.

Ive always wanted a monkey (granted a very very small one) .

Get a seamonkey. :)

Hope you don't mind me using your list format..

Top 10 reasons why I like my ferrets better than people.

#10 My ferrets get into mischief humanity never thought possible. Mischief that leaves you rolling on the floor or scratching your head in sheer amazement. "How DID they do THAT?"

#9 My ferrets is the first to greet me at the door. Even when they were SUPPOSED to be in the cage.

#8 My ferrets are never in a bad mood. Well, nothing that a treat or attacking the cats won't cure.

#7 People rejoice in my failure.
My ferrets do not understand failure- they are certain they can dig through the door via the carpet. Hard on the carpet, inspiring to me even as I remind myself to save up for wood flooring.

#6 Without a doubt my ferrets would give their life to save mine. Even if that perception of danger is a little skewed... One of mine MUST save me from the evil vacuum cleaner.

#5 People will say, “You can’t do that”. My ferrets do not get the concept of No. If you block one avenue to adventure, they find another.

#4 My guests expect me to entertain. My ferrets think I am entertainment.

#3 People ask for a glass of water. My ferrets lay in wait for wet ankles fresh from the shower. And I'm ticklish.

#2 If a dangerous looking stranger approaches, a friend tells me they
have my back. My ferrets stash them in the couch with their other playtoys. Piss them off and they show proof that they are indeed, related to skunks...

#1 A person says, “Get back to work”. My ferrets say, “Come on let’s play!” or, if tired, they like to snuggle down in my shirt and sleep because I am thier favorite.
