Oh dear god are you moaning about pets again? What's sparked all this anger. Did they chew your collection of Barbie heads?

My top fantasy was Mads Mikkelsen turning up at my door with a cheeseboard and a huge stonk on.

Now it's your dog's turning rabid, gnawing your knackers off, then you dying of painful sepsis and the dogs get rehomed to a loving family.

what is a stonk?

 

[adrina]

And is a huge one better than a not huge one?

what is a stonk?

Erection.

 

[FataMorgana]

And is a huge one better than a not huge one?

Oh fucking yes.

 

[Saint Peter]

And is a huge one better than a not huge one?

Erection.

thank you.

 

[Saint Peter]

aj's wiener dog is a grower, not a shower.

 

[adrina]

Oh fucking yes.

There's such a thing as too huge.

I will be heartbroken when Edward dies and I am forced to bite The Bodybuilding Toyboy With The Huge Cock myself, instead of delegating to more capable jaws.

I bet you will.

I still remember Mickey (?) the gay poodle running on the beach pic.

He was glorious

Just tonight we were discussing the injustice of their lifespan being so much less than ours. Hairy fuckers just break your heart, over and over.

You!!! I'd water you.


Hell, I'd take you to supper and wine-n-dine you.

7 is fine. You know where to find me!

I love my dogs. More than some humans.

I have loved one of your dogs more than almost all humans.


And I'm a cat person.


You should see this tiny terror here. Tuft of orange fur in her mitt from beating the fat cat.

Maddie, everyone’s best friend and a Fearsome twin. She was a great dog and it was a crushing loss. On two accounts.

Oh, did you add a new cat to the family?

Vermouth gathering summer 2022? Who would have thunk

That's like saying you should keep a slave so they'll have a nice house to live in.

I realize that you're merely trolling AJ and he fell for it,
but no they're not.

Dogs are social/herd animals. They wither and get depressed if not living in a group. As long as they interact with people every day, and other pets every week - they're good to go.
In fact, humans are helping them and making them happy by making them part of a group.
Cows are the same.

Maybe cats feel constrained by the house pets thing/ captivity, dunno.

More like, she arrived and took over, sort of like a horde of Mongols in one body.


Really? Keep me posted. There may be some return to normalcy by then, or a new normal somewhat less st000pid.

You are wrong. I meant it...dog and cat owners humanize their “pets”.

Owning a sentient being and training it to behave the way you want comes from the same twisted self-importance as slave ownership.

It’s a valid comparison, one pet owners should feel discomfort about.

I love pets but I have a "pet" hate of folks referring to themselves as mummy and daddy. And dressing them up. And putting dogs in pushchairs.

Part of the reason I love them so much is because they are animals and NOT human.

Mind you I have given them best beef and eaten the cheap crap for myself on occasion. And Pip sleeps on my pillow next to my head.

My views are aligned with yours, which is usually the case.

But it’s still totemistic species centric twaddle.

We don't seem to agree on much, but on this I'm 100% in agreement. We've had a lot of different pets over the years: dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, ferrets, rabbits, more than one horse. There were some unfortunate accidents over the last 50 years, a couple of our dogs got hit by a car, several cats were killed by coyotes or eagles, one old mule we took in was run by a couple of the neighbor's dogs, fell and broke a rib that punctured her lung. We found her the next morning dead in the stall. But the vast majority lived long lives. We had one mare my wife got when she was 16 that lived 42 years.

In all that time over all those pets none were ever given away or euthanized because we didn't want them or couldn't take care of them. When we take in a pet, we make a commitment and it's here for life however long that is. I get really really pissed at people that get a dog and a year later they take it to the pound because they can't handle it, or they don't like it. There's only one thing to say about those sorts: 100% grade A unmitigated ASSHOLES!

Anyway 'nuff of the ranting. I agree, if you agree to take in a pet or an animal, it's for the life of that animal no matter how long they live. I would not trust anyone who does less.

Comshaw

I agree that we rarely agree.

I also have a 50 gallon tank of platys, and they breed relentlessly and a banded milk snake in a huge terrarium, which I feed on a monthly basis.

What's life when you take on fish?
