All you dog people out there....I just will never understand you. Here is the deal:
Dogs smell.
You have to come home from work to take them on walks, then pick up their poo, they have smelly breath, they aren't all that soft, they jump on you, and you have no earthly idea where those paws or that tongue have been when they lick you.
All in all, it grosses me out.
Feel free to argue, I welcome anyone to try and change my opinion.
Cats are cute, cuddly, soft and they don't smell. I much prefer indoor cats. You have a general idea of where they have been, they have small mouths, which means minimal smelly breath if any. They clean themselves. There poo gets all congealed with litter so its way less gross then picking it up with your hand shoved inside of a bag. And you can leave them alone all day at work, and they haven't left "presents" in the house.
On that note.
I walked my first dog...ever....this weekend.
It went okay actually. It was a small dog, good enough for my first experience. However, it did not even begin to win me over. It was bearable, but that is the highest praise I can give my experience.

I have to say, I was not a dog person until Mike convinced me to get a puppy. (In fact I was scared of big dogs for a loooooong time). I think having a puppy is similar to what they say about having kids: you like them because they're your (kid)puppy. Having a puppy/dog is a bit more like having a kid than like having a cat. I have to say, I love our stupid dog. :)
I myself am a dog person, for sure. I've cats all my life, but dogs seems to have more personality. I love coming home from work and having the pups get excited to see me. :)
Plus, the hubs is allergic to cats. It's all what you prefer. :)
Yay for cats! When my dog gets all excited to see me when I go home, it doesn't make me feel happy: it makes me feel guilty that my dog was so sad by herself all day. My cat is sometimes happy to see me, but I never feel like I'm forcing him to be anxious and lonely for 8 hours.
You're so funny. Cat-people for life!
My feelings almost exactly. Then my roommate brought home a stray and after months of resentment I came to love him...I still want a cat, but look at this face! http://librariansti.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/img_1402.jpg
I think that once you get used to walking these adorable canines, you will learn to like and love them. Dogs are fun to be with. These creatures are lovable when they are trained and behave. Dog walks can be fun! I suggest that you try it again and submit to the experience. You never know, you might adopt one someday and become a full-pledged dog lover!
