I was recently asked on my forum whether I like pets. Of course being the carer of a cat and dog (I don't say owner as I think that would annoy them) the answer is a resounding yes.
Sometimes people ask me whether I prefer the cat, or the dog. I can honestly say I love them both in different ways. Sam (my dog) helps me to keep (or get) fit, whilst Spooky (my cat) calms me down when I am stressed.
Anyway I thought I would share the following sent to me by my friend James:-
If you want someone who will bring you the paper without first tearing it apart to remove the sports section...
get a dog.
If you want someone willing to make a fool of himself simply over the joy of seeing you...
get a dog.
If you want someone who will eat whatever you put in front of him and never says its not quite as good as his mother made it...
get a dog.
If you want someone always willing to go out, at any hour, for as long and wherever you want...
get a dog.
If you want someone to scare away burglars, without a lethal weapon which terrifies you and endangers the lives of your family and all the neighbours...
get a dog.
If you want someone who will never touch the remote, doesn't give a damn about football, and can sit next to you as you watch romantic movies...
get a dog.
If you want someone who is content to get up on your bed just to warm your feet and whom you can push off if he snores...
get a dog.
If you want someone who never criticizes what you do, doesn't care if you are pretty or ugly, fat or thin, young or old, who acts as if every word you say is especially worthy of listening to, and loves you unconditionally, perpetually...
get a dog.
But on the other hand.
If you want someone who will never come when you call, ignores you totally when you come home, leaves hair all over the place, walks all over you, runs around all night, only comes home to eat and sleep, and acts as if your entire existence is solely to ensure his happiness...
Then .............
get a cat.
