Every friday I’m going to answer the five questions posted by Heather at The Friday Five and post the answers here. Feel free to answer for yourself in my comments box or on your own site..
1. What’s your favorite animal?
I’m a dog person. Big dogs. If it doesn’t weigh 80 pounds, it’s too small. Back home, I’m lucky enough to have a large Rottweiler. He’s the sweetest thing in the world… as long as he knows you.
2. What pets have you had in your lifetime?
Lots and lots of dogs. A few cats. Less frequently: birds, fish, hamsters, hedgehogs, and little brothers.
3. Is there any specific pet that you’ve wanted but never had? Why?
Not really. My fam hasn’t had a golden retriever (at least not any time recently) and I’d really like one. Other than that, we’ve had plenty of pets. Besides, who really needs anything but a dog or two?
4. Are you allergic to any animals?
Nope. To the best of my knowledge I have no allergies. Unless you count stupidity… I think I’m alergic to that.
5. Do you have any ‘pet’ pet peeves (your pets or others’)?
Cats in general. Kittens I can deal with… but not cats. Oh… and folks, don’t dress your animals.
Cats suck!
Yeah… but only if they\’re well trained.
Eww. Pete. That\’s disgusting. (Though I wouldn\’t put it past you)
I have a sweater and a raincoat for my dog : )
DOGS SUCK!! So there!!
Yay for cats, especially the ittie bittie fuzzie ones… kitties!! *purr* hehe.
The official stance of this website is that domestic felines should be exterminated after they reach 12 months of age. Probably sooner.
Hmmm…I\’m going to adopt that as the official stance of my website as well. Except I\’m going to lower the age limit to 10 months.
Cats are better than stupid people!!
It makes much more sense to \”exterminate\” the stupid people before you go mass-murdering purrie animals. *grin* Besides, if all the stupid people are gone, then the population of \”domestic felines\” will decrease accordingly. That\’s because smart people, as opposed to the stupid people that should be exterminated, know how to keep their furrie friends from conceiving offspring that they can\’t afford to nurture and provide for–smart people neuter such pets. 
C\’mon now, there may be too many of them, but cats aren\’t that bad!! At least they don\’t smell as bad as dogs and they\’re not slobberie!! hehe.
Hmmm… the woman makes a valid point. We kill stupid people first. THEN cats.
Exactly! \’Cause then you have less cats to kill (based on previous theory); and one would hope, you\’d spare at least a couple anyway… kinda like the whole Noah\’s Ark thing, you gotta keep at least two around. That, however, doesn\’t apply to stupid people. We don\’t need ANY stupid people.
Okay…killing stupid people is good. However, I disagree that dogs smell worse than cats. Dogs don\’t have to use a litterbox. Those things smell horrible!
Amen… dogs only smell bad if you don\’t know how to take care of them. I\’m all for exterminating things that are SUPPOSED to \”go potty\” in the house.
Cats don\’t have to go pottiee in the house… and they can purr! (And yes, Pete, I know that your little big rottweiler purrs too, but he\’s the exception, not the rule.) And cats are dainty. Yay for dainty cats that don\’t go knocking stuff over on accident. If cats knock stuff over, they do it fully intentionally.
Actually most rottweilers \”grumble\”, I came to find out. Strange, but true. As for animals that knock stuff over on purpose, I don\’t like them. Cats are bad. Period.
When was the last time a cat was so happy to see you it made a bunch of noise and jumped around gave you a bunch of frienly kisses? There\’s just no substitute for a good dog.
There certainly is no substitute for a good dog… but those are hard to find!
Nonsense! It\’s easy to find a good dog: go buy a puppy from a reputable breeder and raise it correctly. If you can\’t raise a dog properly, you deserve a cat.
