My sister has a big stupid German Shepherd

I like dogs, but I can't keep one because I cannot stand the dog smell. I'm sure there are other people with a similar aversion but dog smell makes me gag. It disappoints me. There's a feral cat family(? I suspect that it's one of the daughters now) where the mom comes to my house and lays her litter every year. 2-3 kittens for 3 weeks every year to play with. I love this arrangement.

A smelly dog has a neglectful owner. And it's actually easier to give a dog a bath than a cat. Although it's always more entertaining to watch someone try to wash a cat. :-)

Cat vomit is definitely a grossness about cats, but at least they don't eat it.

The problem with cat vomit is that they usually vomit in the middle of the night in our bedroom or the hallway, and I step in it in my bare feet while letting the dog out before I'm awake enough to turn on the lights. :sigh:

I never wanted kids - something I decided when my own age still consisted of a single digit - but "dislike" is a bit of a strong word. Some kids I feel like I could have all the patience in the world with. Others I go out of my way to avoid. But *my own*? Nope. I'm certainly not gonna change my mind in my fifties.

Same here. I'm now mid-30. People still tell me "you just haven't met the right person yet." The "I thought the same when I was your age" has stopped, most people already had kids at my age, so I hope not :laugh: Now I can tell them "I had a vasectomy, so I couldn't even if I wanted to :D" That ends the discussion rather quickly. Kids and I generally don't go well together. They don't like me and I don't like them. I imagine they don't like me because I don't act like other people when they are around them. Of course there are exceptions, and I'm a decent adult (or so I'd like to think) so if some kid comes to show me its really ugly drawing or some such I'll be like "Wow, that's beautiful! Did you make that? :omg:" And believe it or not, but I'm even pretty patient with kids, maybe because I always had younger cousins around. I was at a friend's wedding party a few months back and one of his friends had a really funny baby. She triggered on me fiddling with a coaster and loved it when I pulled it away just as she wanted to grab it or when I put the coaster on her head. She then tried to put the coasters on her own head and nearly fell off the table laughing when the coaster fell :laugh: Ah well, all part of life. I'm happy for my friends and that all their babies are healthy and doing well :D

They use newfies as water rescue dogs (seen them in the UK, anyway) so it doesn't really surprise me that your landseer would have the same instincts.

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.

And there's nothing "ick" about letting a cat crap in a box in the house? That you then have to empty yourself? I'm a dog person. :)
