Owning a dog is the intersection between thinking dogs are the best, and actually having the time, energy and headspace to look after one.

If dogs looked after themselves like cats do, I’d be inclined. But then they wouldn’t be dogs, I suppose.

Who knows. I’m straight and I don’t care for a dog’s energy at all, which is unfortunate because nearly every dog I meet really loves me. They’re just not my thing. They’re stiff, they’re clacky, they’re clumsy, and they stink. They climb up and try with all their strength to get their mouths/noses right up in my face, and I hate it.

I am nice to them, though. Don’t get me wrong. They don’t know that I don’t like them.

What happened to white women fuckin’ their dogs?

That used to be a thing among that list, so you’d think they end up on the “prefers dogs” part.

We have 2 snakes. But i call my ( cornsnake ) sometimes my puppy. My partner his snake ( hognose ) we lovingly call the kitten.

So from now on i am a male and he is female. Got it. Good to find these kind off rules. Otherwise we would suffer in unknowing and make mistakes against statistics. ;)

I think it depends on your stance towards authoritarianism. Dogs follow commands, cats do not.
