    My dogs are really cool. They work together to steal stuff they can't reach, especially unopened protein powder. Gets quite expensive but still amusing. Doggie doors eliminate the need to go outside when it's 5F like right now.

    And I need them just as much as they need me :heart:

    ugh, hates dogs!

    Terrorist!


    Typical dog lover reaction.... Probably breast feed your dog and dress it up in peoples' clothing.... Each to their own, I'll keep my expensive child thanks!

    Nice thing about kids, you can feed them to the dogs in times of need.

    Nice thing about dogs, they don't grow up to disappoint you.

    :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Oh ya because the giant steaming piles of poop in your house coupled with the numerous household items they destroy is something to be proud of and a feat of accomplishment lol.... I hate them, I also dislike cats ... needy codepent things are not attractive.... that includes people!

    lulz. It's called training.

    I like it when I see people with both kids and a dog. Watch the dog long enough and you know exactly how the kids are going to be.

    That's funny... because 1 out of 3 of my dogs is very well-behaved, one acts up when she feels like being a brat, and the third is still just a very large puppy (only had him a few months). My kids, on the other hand, one keeps her room very tidy without being asked, the other must be repeatedly reminded and punished, and STILL doesn't keep her room clean.

    Seems to me every creature has its own personality.

    The term training is not interchangeable with parenting when we talk in context of pets. Having a dog is like having a perpetual 2 year old toddler... They listen with constant reinforcement, as long as you're there. They do whatever the heck they want when you're not around or if they feel like it.... most children grow up and older than 2.... Don't compare the two, they're not the same.

    then you've never really gotten the training thing down.

    I'll be honest, there are a lot of people who shouldn't have dogs or kids due to an inability to properly train or discipline. Hence my comment about dog observation above. With my anecdata there is a 100% correlation.

    Why must people turn fun gif threads into heated topics about their own individual preferences? Give me a break! No one gives a **** if you like *insert noun here* more than *insert other nouns here*!

    I'm betting you hate people too. I mean, here we were, just an innocent group of people, enjoying a common appreciation for our dogs, and you come along and poop on everything.
    Personally, I think you're the one that could use the social house breaking.

    Ditto at our house. At one time I had three cats, two dogs and two children. It was often difficult to distinguish who made the mess. Now I'm down to one dog and one resident child. It's much easier to narrow down the maker of mischief. But through the years, I'd have to vote for the dogs as the least destructive and least annoying species. The humans, however, have been great tax deductions, something the dogs never could manage.

    Let me know when you do. Apparently a home security system isn't a tax deduction.

    I got 3 kids. They leave plenty of poop piles and destroy plenty.

    I love that you felt the need to come into a thread about dogs to tell people you hate dogs. Thank you for that.
