 Haha, it's so funny how real the divide between dog and cat people is. 

I like dogs, my name means dog. My pet peeve however is young people getting dogs instead of friends or dating. They are like having a child before marriage, and they are expensive. 

Dogs are good when you are established with a house, a relationship, have traveled everywhere you want to go

However they are good personal security, So i can definitely see wanting a daughter to have a dog in college nowadays, but wow is it a lot of work. 
 
 if my daughter goes to one of those commie institutions she's disowned 
 My niece has thankfully decided to go to a small college, not one of those giant commie mills. 
 See the things with kids though is we have to love them even when they are stupid. 
 tehy are not "good personal security" they are irritating to the neighbours and yap at every cat that wanders by... and rat

at least the cat actually takes out the rat 
 look, i don't like loud people, loud cars, or anything loud, when i hear loud, i am alarmed

dogs don't have a quiet setting, they are either chilling, or yelling 
 So there is a difference between breeds. Th boxer I live with is noiseless. He will give a low woof when someone is coming up the driveway but no barks. 

 
 exactly, and anyone who buys a chihuahua is a cunt 
 also, you probably walk it around and give it lots of luvs

badly behaved dogs are literally abused 
 I do. They are very spoiled 💜🧡
