You're beginning to crave steak

No. Actually I think Katey the Wonder Dog got that from me.

So how long until I can lick my nuts?

My dog's only 8 months old and is already fat. Like owner like pet, awwwww.

What if I have two pets that act totally different?

Go ahead, sniff it, you know you WANT to!

lordargent: What if I have two pets that act totally different?

You're schizoid.

Brb...gonna go mark my territory.

Looks like the "lick mah balls" angle has been covered.

So, I'm outta h..... BACON!

I already crave steak. And I don't even own a dog!

GIS for "pet spouse"

Hoping for pet/owner look alike pics.

/leave my pussy out of this

its true, I've had my dog for two months and I just started pooping outside and chewing on my socks.

The cat that lives at our House sleeps a lot, eats a lot, comes and goes at her own convenience, knocks stuff down all over the place, and...uh...oh. Never mind.

lordargent


You're a Gemini.

Really though, there's something to this. A friend of mine got a cat a few months back and now he's become a real pussy.

*sigh* My cat died today. Had to put him down. Tumors on his kidneys. Little bastard. Just when I get attached to him. I have.... something.. you know... in my eye.

Our dog had a taste for people food. I'd say, after you've had people food, you never go back to dog chow. RIP our dog, passed away suddenly last week. He was my constant companion and security system.

sorry, hug

So I'm going to start speaking in LOLcat?

awwww.....its my puppy!

It's totally true. Every time I puke on the carpet I spend a few minutes scratching the carpet to "bury" it.

srtpointman My condolences.

Long, wavy hair? Check.
Crave steak? Check.
Floppy ears? NO WAY.

/not yet, anyway

...and get more alike the longer they live together

So when's my cat gonna get a farkin' job?

/lazy bastard

libbyshome:

Primum non nocere:

Thanks. It was pretty sudden. shiatty thing is I'm out-processing for a deployment, so I couldn't be there. My gf told me he was in a lot of pain so I gave her the go ahead to have him put to sleep. We have two other cats, but he was the boy cat. Loved being petted. Dammit, something in my eye again.

This explains my recent propensity for eating turds in the backyard like Pac-Man.

srtpointman: *sigh* My cat died today. Had to put him down. Tumors on his kidneys. Little bastard. Just when I get attached to him. I have.... something.. you know... in my eye.

I'm so sorry. I have an old cat I've had forever. Just know I'm going to be a basket case when she goes.

I post, you decide.

a man walks into his friends house and the dog is lying on the floor, licking his balls.

the friend says "man, I sure wish I could do that" and the other guy says, "dude, don't you think you should pet him first?"

/obligatory

SuperCatBarf It's totally true. Every time I puke on the carpet I spend a few minutes scratching the carpet to "bury" it.

One interesting experience I had years ago with my rat terrier (RIP). I would occasionally bring him a special treat or something from the kitchen. We'd both act out, he'd do his rollover trick, I'd give him the treat, and he would excitedly scarf it down in glee.

However, I one time had a big rawhide bone for the pet store. I overplayed the specialness of the bone. He'd suddenly exhibited a behaviour I'd never seen, and never after that. The 110,000 year old primal urge to bury the mother farker. He suddenly acted anxious, begged at the door to be let out, ran immediately to the rose garden, and proceeded to furiously bury that damn rawhide. There's was no stopping him. He became possessed, and he was going to bury that ridiculous rawhid if it was that last thing he ever did on Earth.

i love my dog more than anything in the world.

but beautiful.

I had a black lab for 13 years. I still dream about him (he died like 4 years ago)

does anyone have dreams where their animals talk?

I do

but like a human. not a dumbass.

haha, i was just about to comment on Peter Jackson being a farker but EvilElecBlanket: beat me to it.

I had a dream about every dog I've ever all playing in my yard.

REXXX!!!!

I woke up crying like a schoolgirl.

That should have read I had a dream about every dog I've ever had that has died.

So sleepy.

He won't stay still for a picture, so he is staring at a tennis ball I'm holding in my hand.

Way back in fourth grade, my teacher said that dogs were colorblind and I called her a liar and that my dog told me he could see colors, and if I said "green", he would eat grass and that was proof.

Sorry to hear it, here's one for him.

Hopefully I will get a 9' vertical jump soon, like my tiny 8 lb white cat!

Our cat has been with my husband longer, long enough that they even sleep the same way sometimes: stretched out on their stomachs with one arm up and their heads resting on it.

They both snore, too.

I think it's more likely the longer a person has a pet the more likely they are to imagine the pet has human qualities similar to their own.


/that is to say, it's all in their heads

robert schimmel has a lot of animal jokes. if you can get hold of his special on dvd called "unprotected".

one of his bits is like 15 min long about how his dog crapped on the floor and his wife screamed at the dog....

another bit about how one time he had to use the bathroom but the cat had been trained to use the toilet, so he used the litter box and his friends were like "dude! do you have a mountain lion?"

but the best part was when he was taking a crap and his dog walked in on him and said "what the fark are you doing!? I DRINK OUT OF THAT!"

funny story.

my brothers friends cat had some sort of vaginal infection, so he had to apply the cream....inside.

for like a month, whenever I saw him, I said "hey andy" and made the shocker symbol with my hand.

he said "hey jonah" and gave me the finger.

I just think its funny that he fingers his cat.

I'm sure the Canadians remember those Fido ads from a few years ago.

I just hope cowsspinach's Yorkies start to look more like her rather than vice-versa...

dancdancedanceinunderpants
Is awesomely HOTT!!
More pics please............

alybaba: I'm sure the Canadians remember those Fido ads from a few years ago.

They're still running. They have a real cute 80s-style girl in one of them too.

Dont look too much like my little girl,


But we have the same eyes, thats about the extent of our likenesses.

People always tell me my dog looks like me. Im not too sure if I should take it as a compliment or an insult. Either way I love him very much.

Heres my 5lbs yorkie and myself


He has two younger brothers he dislikes but either way he has my heart!

cowsspinach: He has two younger brothers he dislikes but either way he has my heart!

Lucky Dog!

cowsspinach, what was your home address again?

alybaba: I'm sure the Canadians remember those Fido ads from a few years ago.

That's exactly what I thought of when I saw that pic! 'Cept they aren't old.

He found that many dog lovers, cat owners and even reptile keepers said they shared many of the same traits — such as happiness, intelligence, independence and sense of humour — as their pets.

Well, maybe if you have a pet hyena.

"I just sit in my armchair with a glass of red wine and watch him swirl around," she said. "It's better than watching television by far.

Heh, ya. My fish tank is my cat's television.

Crap. I'm doomed.



My condolences, srtpointman. He looks like he was a neat guy (and I'm rather fond of that pose.)

SuperCatBarf: It's totally true. Every time I puke on the carpet I spend a few minutes scratching the carpet to "bury" it.

What, you don't eat it again? Get with it, man.

yeah that's true! my dog smokes rocks too!

i smoke rocks

Thank you sweet Jeebus I'll never have a pet in my house

/that is, when I get my own place...
//kids, if your gonna pick a major, make sure its at least business
///Poli Sci and General Comm. Studies aren't getting you anywhere

Well supposedly dogs at least can detect a persons mood/feelings (fear, sadness, anger). If you add to that behavioral modification of the animal on a subconscious or unrecognized level, where the animal starts equating certain moods with positive or negative actions or reinforcement, and its not a far stretch to say that after awhile the dog could start behaving like the owner.

Owner in a bad mood = Dog in a bad mood (Ignored/Scolded)
Owner in a good mood = Dog in a good mood (Paid attention to. Play/Food)

It kinda makes sense.
.....Pavlovs Dog and all that.

I feel your pain too well-had a cat live about as long as I had (long as I can remember-16 year old kitty) put down because of a tumor. I had to make the decision, too.
/I can't be sad when it's twenty minutes to caturday...

All this thread proves is that otherwise intelligent rational people are completely oblivious to how incredibly ugly their pets are. I think the same applies to people and their children.

/'Bug ugly'

We only had him for a year. Still painful though. Thanks for the condolences y'all.

srtpointman I am so sorry for your loss.

I just found out that my dog has bone cancer. He has a few weeks left. There's something in my eye too - a waterfall.

he's a little taller than me.



and i have more hair on my face.

This explains why I now crap in a box and cover my leavings with sand.

People don't gradually begin to look like their pets, nor do pets gradually being to resemble their owners.

People subconsciously select pets that look like them because pets are surrogates for children, and everyone wants their kids to look like themself.

Executive Monkey: nor do pets gradually being begin to resemble their owners.

FTFM

Executive Monkey

People subconsciously select pets that look like them because pets are surrogates for children, and everyone wants their kids to look like themself.

I selected a yorkie because of a few things.
1. They are small(3-7lbs)
2. They dont shed and are hypo-allergenic
3. You can cuddle with them and they wont take up half of the bed.
4. They will alert me if someone is in the drive-way or walks in my house.
5. They dont chew up my stuff around the house

I didnt select a yorkie because of the similiar hair colors or the skin tone, etc...I selected a yorkie because of their characteristics.


/just sayin
//the dogs name is Arthur...King Arthur

Condolences, srtpointman, and to you, punkrockhippie.

This is gonna sound like a commercial, but my dog just went through 4 surgeries, 3 rounds of chemo, and a month of radiation. He's fine now. We had him insured, and it saved his life. It's 25/month, and it doesn't cover checkups, vaccinations or other preventitive care, but out of the 7000 for the radiation ALONE, we pay 700. It's farking amazing.

I'm going to put my e-mail in my profile in case anyone wants to know what company we're with.

I don't remember the name of the disease my cat had. But it affects 1% of cats and is fatal 100% of the time. We do have two more cats. His sister and their incestuous love child, Jessica. We'll probably end up insuring them.

Punk Rock Hippie: I just found out that my dog has bone cancer. He has a few weeks left. There's something in my eye too - a waterfall.

That sucks. Ask whether palliative radiation might be an option, though (if you haven't already looked into it). It bought my Irish Wolfhound, Finian, six months, though he did have the less aggressive type of osteosarcoma.

mayberebecca: That kitten is so cute I'm going to puke.

We like the same beer.

It's like he grew but his ears stayed puppy-sized.

Executive Monkey: People subconsciously select pets that look like them because pets are surrogates for children, and everyone wants their kids to look like themself.

The cats chose us. Okay, we fed the ones that showed up at the back door and they stayed, but we didn't go out and select them.

Lt_Athena: The cats chose us. Okay, we fed the ones that showed up at the back door and they stayed, but we didn't go out and select them.

Then my theory doesn't apply to you. It only applies to people who go out and select a pet, and even then it's just a psychological tendency, not an iron-clad law of nature.

agreed, executive monkey. actually popped in the thread for the sole purpose of pointing that out as well as the addendum: even if you're going to argue any subconscious decision, the longer you have your pet the longer you have to notice qualities which you think are like you and remember them to report in a survey.

Additionally, the longer you have to notice and reinforce them. I would've bought this a bit more if the psychologist had actually observed the pets and people directly, rather than asking for survey response!

LargeCanine: Me too.

Sorry, couldn't resist a comparison to someone else...
