Any good breed closely related to it's wild counterpart. Larger, not selectively bred for stupid useless traits.

Dogs make up for so much that human's lack. The senses: Sight and smell. Very usefull for hunting. Very protective. Can pick up on things man can't.

Also, we can communicate with dogs easily. Dogs can communicate with humans, BUT dogs can communicate with other animals as well. Say, you run into a bear in the bush. The dog can "animal speak" to the bear what you are already communicating to the dog (let's get out of here, or, let's hunt it, etc.)

Dogs have helped out so much in the overall formation of human civilization (as well as other domesticated animals, but none with this bond). Bless dogs.

Now we got somebody writing from a solid background. I like that. How many books do you read lets say per month ? Approximately ?

~0-1 per month

I am ashamed.

So lets round that up. 6 Books per Year. As far as i can see, no reason to be ashamed of. And better than most.

I don't have a dog, just Gizmo the cat, but my parents have a schnauzer. He gets really excited whenever I come over because he knows I'm a pushover for treats.

Todo a fearful little thing, he has been known to be terrified of the spinner on the Game of Life. And he has an odor to him. Got some lingering stank. A musk, if you will.

Todo is not exactly a loving dog. You know how most dogs are loyal and faithful and adoring? This dude is more like a cat. He cares so much as it might benefit him. After they adopted him he just never bonded to our family. Seemed like he was just waiting to go home or to the next place.

We love him though.

This is saidit.net. I ask about dogs. And the first answer is from a cat owner. How is that ?

It's free speech at its best. Appreciate it, eventhough i hate cats.

I'm allergic to cats but that aint the whole truth. She hates other women. And my motorcycle.

On the positive side of this comment: I don't like dumb dogs. Of course this has something to do with the Irish Shepherd i inherited when my gf died and a somewhat aggressive personality for a neighbour, because she hates him, too. The difference is: Every morning she remembers me of that. And if i don't do her 200 words per day she feels kinda neglected. Which i get to "regret".

Not to talk about my workshop. You know what, when i'm welding, she loves it. Even though she could get hurt becauses i do a lot of stuff with Tungsten and gases. I won't talk about how she was a therapy dog for my ex-gf or what exactly she did, but obviously welding is my therapy, because she encourages it everytime. Or she likes the smell of the gases: Honestly, idk. If i don't go welding on saturdays though, my dog will punish that.

Now i wanna know what therapy your pet does for you.

The only reason i took this girl when my gf died, i'm a dog, too. And that she can be very obedient, if she wants to. If we weren't as clear on course as right now, she maybe have bitten my neighbour in his balls and i even maybe have hit him. So far he never came near to me because of my dog-girl.

She is very protective, i believe even centered on one person.

But NO: Every dog gets his dog.

Now to the funny part: I obviously don't need a new gf at this point in time. But even that i take positively, because this girl hates leashes just like i do and loves whistleing just like i do.

Life ain't a test. Life is real. Her name is Maria. But she won't hear that, when you (or any other person) calls it. She is just lazy and sad. But when i speak this name, i always feel confident, because she is "in" on any stuff i plan.

We have a lot of communication, even though this may be hard to realize from the outside, because "our" whistleing nowadays has its own tunes.

Do you own a bird ? Maria often is screamed down by my parrot, whose name is Einstein. Especially in the morning hours.

So maybe now you get a feel, what is like for a person like me to actually move.
