I’m one of the few honkeys who just don’t understand pet ownership. I never want to be so psychologically needy that I need emotional support from an animal.

I had cuddly stuffed animals as a child. But I grew up. It’s time to be on Team Human.

They’re also a maintenance heavy, depreciating asset.

When I see grocery shoppers dropping heavy bags of dog food for checkout, I can’t help but think of how much shite that bag is going to produce - shite they’ll have to pick up. If they don’t pick it up, it’s just shite that’s going to stink up their yard or neighbor’s yards like the surroundings have been infested by homeless people.

The worst among them take their fur babies to restaurants where you get to see these animals lick their assholes while you dine.

But I do love Old Yeller. He was a good boy. Never licked his own a-hole. Ever. Dude had class.

Some of you reveal your city slicker upbringing without even realizing it.

I mean, you do realize there are plenty of breeds, and individual dogs, that do alot more than just eat food, shite, and provide "emotional support", right?

Hell, there are many dogs that the owner probably wouldn't even call a "pet". It's a working dog. Hell, my BIL has 2 Australian shepherds that are smarter than the average OT poster...and work harder, too.

Deterrent....this dog has a job and does it well without being barky. I hate barky dogs. She'll let you know she's aware of your presence when needed but there's never relentless barking allowed at our house. And cuddling is not her thing.
