My sister has a big stupid German Shepherd
-
Given the circumstances I wouldn't rule it out. I once saw a skunk that was (probably) so starved, it ate garbage that was left outside at night; when the light was turned on, it went into a panic, vomited and then ate the whole damned thing again. X| X| X| (you started it) :-) A co-worker once told a story about his girlfriend's cat and two dogs. Whenever the cat walked towards it litter box, both dogs would pretend to be sleeping, and patiently wait until the cat was done. Then the fight was all about who got the treat the cat had left behind. May I remind you, some people then let their pets lick their faces. Ok, I'm done. And I won't feel bad if someone deletes this...

It poops in the yard, which keeps the bears and cougars away, but unfortunately also the deer. When I say the dog is stupid, I'm speaking relative to dogs. Thick as a brick, that one. The derp is fierce. Sis can't even get a cat, because the dog is so stupid she'd kill it. Very friendly to people though. I try to be nice to the dog - she can't help that she's a dog. But my god, I am so a cat person. [I redacted something that I typed in this space that the dog did that was so gross that on reflection I don't want to repeat so as not to ruin anyone's lunch. I gagged when I saw it though. Let's just say that. ] I don't know how people deal with dogs. I get that they're friendly, and even useful sometimes, but the ick factor is just off the scale.

The previous neighbours had an Afghan Hound, and it was dumb even for Afghans. They had a problem with him wandering off if they left the door open, so they fitted a small gate on the path. Literally, on the path - no walls or anything beside it. And it was a small gate, he could have stepped over it. But no, it stopped him dead - he couldn't even think to go round it ... I had a boss like that - he used to love skiing and the whole office was really hoping he'd end up pointed at a tree one day because he'd be unable to decide to go right or left before he smacked right into it.

WHO'S A GOOD BOY? YOU ARE A GOOD BOY! YES YOU ARE! *HAPPY NOISES* :D:D:D I'm also more of a cat person though :laugh: Dogs are fun when they're someone else's. As for grossness, I have the following scale: children > dogs > cats I have a cat and she's not gross at all (well, except her breath X|). Kids are definitely worse than dogs, they both drool, poop and vomit, but dogs are cleaner eaters and don't touch everything with their filthy little paws. Unfortunately, my friends aren't getting dogs :sigh:

I have to take a stand for the dogs. We have two Landseer, Landseer dog - Wikipedia[^] and also two cats, they are living without a problem together (the two little cats enjoy the two big dogs;)). They are both very intelligent herding dogs (protectors) and make their own decisions in an emergency. I experienced this myself when one of them saw a drowning person in the lake and he went into the water on his own initiative and 'saved' the person. OK, but I also have to admit: The person was a well-trained swimmer and was not in danger. The dog misinterpreted this a little bit. Better to save once too often than once too little ;) My lesson from this incident is: Always take care of your animals, dog or cat. Have them under control.

And if you had one, you wouldn't need a sheep anymore. They give off so much wool/hair. But I still love them both. As long as they can stay with you (and they can stay with us, in the whole house, even if they shed a lot of hair) they are happy with less yards. In my case, they have a big yard, nonetheless they prefer to stay with us. My motto is: If I want to keep a dog (animal), I want it to be with me. OK, I do make a distinction with the horses. :laugh:

Nope, dogs have owners. Cats have support staff.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Sixty years ago, my parents raised German Shepherds for sale. They are by nature very loving dogs and very protective dogs. They do need training and challenges, however. They tend to be very curious and will easily cause problems when their curiosity gets them into mischief. With proper training, they make excellent service dogs for the disabled. They can make excellent herd dogs, as long as there is a shepherd to direct them. Left alone with a herd, they get bored and, in their curiosity, they tend to stray too far from the herd to properly protect it from coyotes and other predators. This last point is why we do not use them with our herd. We use Anatolian Shepherd/Great Pyrenees crosses. They bond with the herd and stay with it. When a predator appears, one or two stay with the herd while the rest chase the predator. They are team fighters and instinctively face the predator from two different directions. When the predator attacks one, the other attacks the predator from behind. When the predator turns to face their attacker, the first one attacks, again from behind. If the predator does not turn and run, I am left to clean up the carcass, if I find it. More often, I find scattered bones months after the altercation.

I have enjoyed the company of two retired Greyhound racers not at the same time each shared my life at various times The first one Wizard was a very gentle fellow loved people only semi affectionate I did not notice this till I had the second hound. Wizard only had one troubling behavior he would panic with fireworks OMG he hid once behind the gas furnace how he got in was beyond me the space was really small I had the great fortune to meet his racing trainer at Wheeling Island Casino & Racetrack She explained he liked to play with small soccer balls ? So I cordoned off a softball field and tossed the ball he not only caught it before it hit the ground he made a circle with the ball in his mouth and cocked his head back and toss it in the air so he could catch it before it hit the ground Talk about being dumbfounded duh The second hound was obtained after Wizards passing Charlie was a big strapping hound 31 inches at the shoulder Charlie was super affectionate and enjoyed the company of other dogs liked to hang with my friends German Sheppard I was told he was not cat safe Charlie never got on the furniture UNTIL the Vet I would leave him with let him have run of the office at lunch the office staff let him snuggle on the couch At this time I was living in Oregon and kept the lights off at night due to the Midges so one night I could not find Charlie he had slipped under the covers in my bed. Charlie would fetch if he saw what you tossed fetch only lasted two tosses I would let Charlie off leash in the woods behind my house in Oregon What amazed me was he would chase joggers and catch them and want to be petted Here is the funny part I would yell he is friendly and go retrieve my hound Women would stop and pet him Guys would try to out run him duh

Forty-some years ago I returned from a business trip to find my wife had bought an Afghan Hound for the kids (primary school ages). It too was dumb beyond belief. Could had cleared the low gate to freedom with no effort at all, but chose instead to run full tilt into the 1.8m paling fence. Shake head, turn and repeat.... Wasn't very long before it found itself in the animal shelter in search of a new home. Good luck, somebody.

We are dog people with 2 black labs which I credit with keeping me alive - the daily demand for walks along the beach do that. One of them recently saw a cat for the first time (at a boarding kennel) and freaked out, he had no idea what to do with it, the other could care less and totally ignored it. Dogs become part of the family, cats deign to live with you!

My German Shepherd is the smartest dog I have ever known . I trained her to walk without a lead in 3 days.

Agreed. But the challenge of raising children, and the joy of seeing them overcome challenges on their way from babyhood to adulthood make it all worth while. YMMV. For me, one of my most treasured memories is the joy and pride on my eldest daughter's face when as a baby she stood up unsupported for the first time.
