Equal Rights!

[hypochondriac]

My dog came to me with a list of demands the other day:
- more frequent walks and more variety of parks
- he will accept leash walking on condition that it is loose enough for him to score any free food he finds on the way
-no more nail clipping. "if you try to clip my nails again i will bite you"
-let me jump on visitors when they arrive. Im only playing and its fun.
-if you miss a day of ball games with me i want some compensation..like an interesting treat instead
-i want to have free access to all rooms in the house. its my right as a canine.
-less patronising chats to me. im not stupid you know.
-after chatting with other dogs in the neighbourhood we all agree that our ultimate goal is not canine rights but human rights! Equality!!!
WOOF WOOF!

Sounds like your dogs are as equally spoiled as mine and I wouldn’t have it any other way

 

[Rosemarie]

Dogs are like children...they need rules and discipline otherwise they become completely obnoxious. The more you give in to their demands, the more demanding they become. Besides, dogs need a hierarchy. You must be the leader of the pack, otherwise they lose all respect for you, then they become dangerous. Spoiling dogs is self-indulgent...you should do what is best for the dog, not for yourself. Cats, of course are different...they can go and live somewhere else if things at home don't suit them.

My dog uses frowning all the time! And he does approach us for ball games just like this.

that's exactly it. "what's next on the agenda? what have your planned for me?"

I think that's a great list. Much shorter than what my cat would write. She still resents that I live here. She thinks she pays the mortgage, and insists that her supper time is an hour earlier than when I actually feed her.

Dogs have always been raised in packs. That is in their DNA. Dogs are happiest when they know who is the leader of the pack. And that should be you. Otherwise they live confused and you wonder why they won't follow your rules. Let them know you are the leader of the pack and they will be much happier in general.

ive heard about the arrogance of cats. not sure id warm to that. however naughty my dog can be he has a very meek and affectionate side to him that we just adore him for.

Cats can be very affectionate, too. They're just like people with their different personalities. I think with cats, people with higher self-esteem are better with cats than with dogs. Dogs love you just because you are. Cats are more apt to consider how you really feel about them. They don't do good with fake.

Absolutely. I wouldn't say it, if I didn't believe it.

guess i mean would other people say the same thing?

 

[Olivia]

guess i mean would other people say the same thing?

I really don't know. Just speaking for myself and my experiences with animals and how they relate to people.

 

[Judycat]

When I am feeling down, I have a cat who will jump up next to my shoulder and pat it...with her claws out. "Aw, it'll be okay. Here, this is what five needles like. "

 

[A2ZGrammie]

I think cats can be affectionate. Just not mine. She's mean. To me. There are other people she really loves.

Having had both dogs and cats my entire life,I have noticed that dogs sense when someone doesn`t like them,and will stay away. Or bite them lol. But cats seem to gravitate towards people that don`t really care for them-like they are trying to convince them otherwise. I don`t know,that`s just been my observation.

That makes sense since cats really enjoy being a pain in the butt.

I agree with most of those demands except, short leash when walking no eating food off the ground, absolutely no jumping on people & he doesn’t mind me clipping his nails.
