As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.
Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?
Not true. Dogs have a variety of different personalities. I have met many and observed that each and every one of them acts differently. Further, not all dogs are obedient, vicious, or mean. Certain breeds are more difficult to train than others. I happen to have dogs that are neither obedient, nor vicious, nor mean. That is just a stereotype, all dogs are different, just as all humans and cats are different.
I suspect that you have not met many dogs. Also, dogs are not stupid. For example, my sister has a very intelligent dog who can solve a little puzzle. He loves to solve his little puzzle, it keeps him entertained. And he only does the puzzle when he feels like it, not when we tell him to.
And finally, a chihuahua can also have the nerve to smack something around fifty times its size. In fact, it can bite. Hard. And I know this from experience. :D
Cats are all... malicious. I guess. I always associate cats with being evil. They're so... up to something, contemptuous of their owners, and just... not what you want in a house. They can get ANYWHERE, seriously, even through locked doors and stuff. Ugggh. Why you would want such a cold thing in your house is beyond me.
Hmm, I see. I'm sorry I misjudged your post. I just wanted to point out that not all dogs all like that.*headdesk* I seem to have forgotten a few words in my post. I remember specifically thinking "The smartest one I've met has to have five brain cells." Not "The smartest one has to have five brain cells." Sorry about that.
In my relatively short lifespan, I've had... um, nine dogs. And almost all of my dad's friends have at least one. Not to mention the fact that I sort of volunteer for an animal rescue, so I think I've had enough experience with dogs to know a bit about them.
I know that not all canines are unintelligent--I recall stories about a Papillion my mother had before I was born who was very, very smart indeed--but... I just can't bring myself to believe that there's much at all going on in their minds. Maybe it's just that every dog I've owned seems to have had the IQ of a rock. Same thing goes for the personalities. Mine and around 95% of the ones I've met have either been stupidly happy or just ferocious.
... And Chihuahuas (did I spell that right the first time? ...Good. xD) are definitely rather likeable. I too have been informed that they are most certainly not cowards. xDD
everything in this postDogs! Because you can train them to do tricks, they are great for cheering you up, and are fun! Cats come close though.
