Wow. I wish I could accept this - but you'd not have given me an award for kindness to animals if you saw the way I treat my sister's pet man. Of course, he deserves it. It could get worse though. My sister won't allow me to hit him with a newspaper.

Thanks

Side note: I hope you were referring to the human species and not the animal species. Just to clarify...I know how animals hate the newspaper!

I'd vote for Sal as president of the HSPCABNBIL (Hey Sal Prevents Cruelty to Animals But Not Brothers In Law).

However, hitting your brother in law with a newspaper is just sooooo 20th century.

Nowadays you hit him with an iPad.

Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?

So that blind people can hate them as well.

Anyway another vote for Sal, maybe she should get a job retraining vets. Or taking on the big pharmaceuticals.

Yeah - human species. I think he'd hate the newspaper, too. I never figured out how a newspaper does any good in training an animal - but I think it might be good tactic for a worthless lump of a boyfriend.

Heysal,

You know, SHARKS have been said to have been deterred with a simple SWAT. Maybe you can try THAT with her pet man. Try to be understanding though. Some men don't understand female. (You know, the old mars/venus bit. Can a venutian REALLY blame a martian for not understanding?)

Take her pet man on a shopping trip to buy women's clothing. That would teach him.

You do NOT get it! The punishment is NOT shopping! The punishment is being WITH a woman that is shopping. Most women act in a way that most males just can't handle!

HECK, I was the SECOND one here that mentioned it, country songs mention it...

I googled it, and this article shows I am RIGHT:

Shopping: Men-Vs-Women

Gee Steve...here's something for you to "get". I hate to shop. If there is a way on earth to avoid shopping I will find it. If I'm down to my last few pairs of pants, I might go and buy a few more if I can get in and out of somewhere quick enough, but if it starts to take too long, I don't get new clothes. Same with groceries. If there is ANYTHING to eat in the house, then I don't need to shop.

So why would I torture myself by taking some dude I don't want to be around somewhere that I hate to go? What I'd like to do is give his ass a broom, bucket, vacuum, and dust rag and let him act like he has some value for an afternoon.

There's good reason I love dogs so much........they are worth the time.

OK, I got too caught up with the humor and punishment. 8-( And I DID say MOST women. Certainly NOT all. And MOST men, though I DO wonder about the men that like it.

Yeah, for the most part. My sister has him singing soprano, though. He's a mutt so wouldn't have been bred anyway, but not sure that neutering is good for a little guy. Can't figure out why they just don't give them vasectomies so they can keep their hormones. Probably why he got so sick.

Anyhow - don't mind me. I just got caught in a very bad mood about some guys today.

I THINK they just tie the females tubes, but they castrate male mammalian pets because, if they don't, they get more aggressive may chase females, and may mark territory, etc...

But I am with you, leave the dog alone. 8-( Isn't it bad enough that the circumsized baby boys. 8-(

I'm sure there are a few that are worth their salt, Steve - Like you said - MOST, not ALL. But if I'd dropped off the last two instead of taking them in, I'd be a fairly wealthy woman today. Since getting rid of them, every guy I've met has an angle. They need this, they need that. Division of labor isn't even in their freaking vocabularies...but "waah, do this for me" sure is.
Sooo....I'm not a happy camper right now. Waiting for Indiana Jones. Once I find someone who can support himself and seems to understand that they have some obligations to not be a 24/7 workload, I'll calm back down, LOL.

Steve - I think they need to sterilize most animals. If they didn't we'd be so far over-run with unwanted and ferrel animals that we'd be in deep dookie. I just don't feel that they have to take the whole organ out and don't think it's good for them. As far as aggressive.........just because a dog is male doesn't make it aggressive. I've had males that never showed signs of aggression -- other than when someone was messing with me, and ANY good dog will get aggressive when protecting its owner. That's what they are and one of the reasons they are such wonderful creatures. The only people who ever complained about Munch being aggressive is the few gibbering idiots who were stupid enough to get aggressive with me with him right there watching them - and they had expected that was exactly what he'd do is watch them. LOL. What a lark.

Well, I DID say get MORE aggressive. But yeah, even THAT may be pushing it. I'm male, and I'm not agressive, etc... But yeah, males and females DO have a metabolism geared to and controlled somewhat by those organs, so they shouldn't remove them.

Steve

Last time I checked, there was a big difference between a dog/cat and a tortoise.

A parrot will outlive me too.........and, he/she talks back!

Dogs give unconditional love, some cats too! A parrot, yeah, I like them also, just don't want to listen to their BS lol, nor do I want to make the trip to the lawyer's office to provide for them after my demise.

Somehow, I just can't visualize going for a nice long hike with a tortoise!

  Well,I can with my bird. She is an African Grey that we rescued from some friends that were splitting up.
  From what I understand ,they rescued her from someone too, so basically we are at least the 3rd owners.
  About 15 years old we are guessing, and she will more than likely outlive me ( even if I was healthy!)
  
  Last week I took her to get her wings and nails clipped. In the car on the way,she must have puntured my arm in 20 places with her claws because she was scared.
  
  When we got there,before I got out of the car, she got put in her place on my shoulder,and stayed there while I walked in.
  
  Because her wings are clipped ( which I'm still not sure is a good idea) she can come outside with me without me fearing she will fly away, I have a bigger fear that she might try to fly, land on the ground, and some local cat or dog will get to her before I can.
  
  I've been around and had animals most of my life, and back when I actually performed magic on rare occasions,I had doves and pidgeons, but parrots are completley different.
  
  And like Waterotter said, you do have to listen to their BS,and mine rarely shuts up! I don't even need an alarm clock anymore because first ray of light in the morning and she starts going.
  
  Thanks

I've always said, the proof that your dog is your best friend--not your spouse--is easily demonstrated:
Put your dog and your spouse in the trunk of your car and drive around for an hour. When you stop and open the trunk, who's happy to see you?
:-)

Geez, Lynn. You know the money those guys have? I'm not likely to win any victories over them....it's up to each to just say no and go for their own personal victories -- enough people wake up and drop off dangerous pharms and treatments and they'd just kinda go away. That or Gov will make anything they want mandatory..kinda like they are doing now, LOL.
