Oh!  There we go!  Cute pack you got there, Lu.

I’m fond of both, though I identify with canines more.

My mouser is pretty self-sufficient.  My rottie keeps me sane and healthy, but is pretty high-maintenance.

Another bulldog owner? What are the odds?

Try as I might, I can’t stay mad at my bulldog. She’s too dopey looking. Dopey like a fox!

That dog makes me want to cry. I want a bulldog or a boxer so bad I that I cry when I think too much about it.

Why yes I have a blog. What? You want to see my underwear? That’s over the line, sir.

They’re great, as long as you don’t actually want them to do things like “obeying” or “not sleep 16 hours a day.” Their ability for both stubbornness and sloth is astonishing.

Kind of. But, I doubt your cats weigh in at 50 pounds, drool all over everything when even the hint of food is in the air, and pout like rumply-faced orphans when scolded for destroying a pair of shoes in, like, 10 minutes.

And no cat has gas like a bulldog. It’s worse than being stuck in an elevator with George Wendt.

You’ve obviously never seen me after Little Cesar’s pizza. My butthole explodes like the Death Star in Return of the Jedi after eating that stuff. I’m actually forbidden from eating it because my wife said during a particularly bad round of gas “I can’t live like this.”

Yup....everything you’ve mentioned so far describes Bella. 

If I’m not actively petting her or playing with her or feeding her she falls asleep.  In like 30 seconds flat she will be snoring.....loudly.  I was beginning to think she was narcoleptic.

I guess I’m lucky in that she has never destroyed anything in the house....but to be fair I have only had her about 3 months(rescue situation).

As far as the gas goes......it’s not a problem until she gets people food.  So she doesn’t get any.(Very rarely anyway.)

Heehee...a year or so ago I would have said DOG, hands down. Since my dog has developed the loud snoring habit, I don’t know. Do cats snore?

Cats just give me the creeps. They look at you as though they can see right through you. Cats know I don’t like them, so everytime I encounter one, they jump up on my lap and drag their tail under my nose. Cats are just obnoxious like that.

i finally had to banish my cats from the house (they stay warm in my basement and lurk on my porch, but otherwise are allowed in only during visiting hours) ... whoever said cats are cleaner are crazy! i can’t STAND having a litter box in the house and so installed a cat door on the back door so they could have free access in or out. instead of going out when it was rainy and/or cold, they chose to pee on my pillows and in my shoe box instead.

when the cat door was unlocked, i was forever finding half-eaten carcasses around the house. after finding a the bottom half of a fully-grown rabbit under my dining room table once (i had only been in the shower 10 minutes!), they were banished ...

the dogs, however, get to be in the house unsupervised ...

Dogs come when they are called; cats take a message and get back to you.

You feed a dog because it loves you - and it does anyway.

You feed a cat to prevent it from killing local birds - and it does anyway.
