and i found an old letter….that in itself isnt so bad, but my stupid ass had to reopen it and read it…and now all the tears i've been holding back, and ignoring just wont stop coming….life just really sucks sometimes…..

I burned some of the most amazing art photographs I ever took because they had my ex in them. Photos that a lot of people asked to buy, but I refused because I wasn't willing to talk to her to get model release to sell them. I still can't look at pictures of her without wanting to punch a hole in the wall. No matter how much time goes by I'm sure that there will always be things that set me off when I see them. It really does suck man.

You could always ask to borrow a friend's cat, record the dog saying "Yeah, a cat. So?" and then show it to them… but just because a dog is cat-friendly, doesn't mean the cat is dog friendly. Although if the cat takes off like greased lightning and the dog just looks at you as if to say "What's her problem?" I suppose it'd prove the point.

I remember we got a dog a few months before our cat died. She (the dog) kept trying to be friends with him, but he just clawed her in the face. She was terrified of him. Even though he was smaller than her head.

Additional: I had to clean a stain on my chair, so now I haven't got anything to sit on because it isn't dry yet.

I have to finish this bloody Flash animation as well. That's not going to easy kneeling like this.

Yeah, that happens too. Our dog thought every cat was a potential friend. Still, even that would prove the dog behaves itself. If you wanted a kitten, a young animal tend to just accept the situation. With us…

… our cat was 19, so we got a puppy to ease the pain of transition. The cat wasn't amused, but he wasn't amused when my Dad or I were introduced either, so he just took it as one more irritation he was determined to outlive. (Chipper outlived most of the animals on the block)

When Chipper died, we missed having a cat so introduced a kitten. The kitten wasn't very bright, but a natural hunter (no insects in our house) and one time jumped on the dog and rode her like a horse for a few seconds. They got along well, but one year Neko ate a poisoned mouse (neighbours were trying to get rid of mice, and she ate one that was trying to escape we're guessing) and died.

Everyone, dog included, missed having a cat around the house. So we adopted a cat in need of a home, and after she realized that Tinker just wanted to be friends, they got along well. Even better than Neko; she liked it when Tinker would mother her.

Sophie outlived Tinker (died of old age), so that's all I'm going to go into. What I'm saying is the adoption agency is being stupid, but you already mentioned that, Skoolmonkee. So if you still wanna try my suggestion, ask around for someone who has a dog-adjusted cat and demonstrate proof.

Wrist now hurts so I can't use the mouse. Nothing on the computer outside of the keyboard.

Actually, When I moved to the UK I left my 2 cats with my sister. Now that I know I will be here a good few years I'm going to work on getting the cats over here with me. They'll get better care and I know them- they grew up with dogs and should be fine with my dog. It will be expensive (very) but, they are my kitties :)

I hate you 'My dog loves cats! it'd nevar hurt dem durp!' people.-_- Every.Freaking. time one of my relatives comes over to my house with their mangy mut, they say that same thing. And every fricken time those stupid dogs chase my cats and a few even attacked my poor kittys.

Worst part was i couldn't do a damn thing to hurt the dogs back- my relatives always got so offended when i told them to lock the mutts up.(interestingly enough all the dogs that attacked were from relatives i hated-the hick ones who do drugs all day and live alone in a trailer, no lie.)

(I say this even though I have a dog. But she's not some violent piece of crap like my relatives dogs -_- *pets my wonderful kittens & doogie* )

The thing about our dog is that she's a total wuss. We once looked after a friends hamster for a few days, and she avoided the front room like Satan himself was in there. When she finally decided to risk eternal punishment and went in, she just sat on the other side of the room trembling and whining.

Because of a hamster.

Which was about three weeks old.

Yeah.

I had a black cat once… He was born back before a lot of DDers.
He was a brave fella though, He'd go after dogs. Once my sister brought her Doberman to the house, it was on one side of the door and he was on the other. I had to separate them. But he was still trying to get at it through the door! Lashing and scarchin at it, yowling out his hatred. The poor doggy whimpered, sat down and wet itself.
All over the kitchen floor! T__T

Years ago my uncle and aunt had two dogs and two cats. One was a pig dog- a type used for hunting wild pigs, the big hairy tuskers. The two tomcats (Ginger cat and White cat) got along with them fine, but lost all fear of dogs because of it. Now, these guys lived in Broome, that's a northern town up in the Kimberly here, and back then it was pretty rough. The kind of dogs people would take into town were working dogs, not pets, they were for hunting and cattle herding etc.
They actually used to get complaints from dog owners that one of their cats was attacking the dogs in town. That's strange enough normally, but in a place like that it's straight out bizarre.
They had to keep Ginger cat locked up at night in the end. White cat could always beat Ginger cat in a fight though, so I'd hate to see what White cat would have done if he was that way inclined.
(yes, those were there names)
———————————–

But those kinds of things are the exception. Cats are small, dogs are big. Dogs love to chase things that are afraid of them. Cats are scared of animals that are bigger than them. Unless a cat has been acclimatised to dogs since it was young, it's unlikely to deal well with them when it's an adult. They get set in their ways very fast and don't change much over the years.
(Heh, with normal cats even smaller types of dogs, like coyotes will hunt and kill them, because the cats just aren't used to that sort of thing)

I hate you 'My dog loves cats! it'd nevar hurt dem durp!' people.-_-

I think you mean that you hate those "I'm a bad dog owner, I refuse to exercise foresight and be responsible for my dog's actions dem durp!" people :)

Some dogs do genuinely love cats (and vice versa) but it's usually the ones that have grown up together. My black kitty Zoe's "mommy" is my sister's boy dog, Grendel :)

Zoe: "Oh Grendel, I'm 8 years old but you're still my mommy! I love you so much, let me snuggle up here with you and lick you and lick you and I'm going to stick my face in your face I love youuuuu ^____^"

Grendel: "siiiiigh"

I have a picture here somewhere…

my puppy spent a month or two of her first months with us, with one of my friends cats…and they seemed to get along…they didnt cuddle or anything, but they wouldnt fight each other or anything….

Posted at 9:05AM, May. 16, 2008

Post the picture, Skoolmunkee!! Post it post it! Especially if we can really see the "*sigh*" in Grendel's face.

I saw some dude in the bus stop.

He looked like a cat. A. Fat. Cat.

Damn… so its not only about shapeshifting lizards… lol!

I keep talking to myself. I really have to stop doing that.

On the bright side though, my chair is finally dry. Hooray for comfort!

i just gave her five hundred bucks…..to finish the divorce….i can't believe i did that…it stings so badly right now…i can't see what i'm typing….i'll complain later..

I feel trapped…I like this site, and it's ranking system, no other site compares…but at the same time DD sucks beyond all belief. No other site owner would let a site with this many users be unhappy with bugs for so long.

I know people are way sick of negativity on volte, but the only word suitable for how he's treated the site and people here is 'prick'. -_-

lolwut??

that's all i can use to describe what's going on…

Aren't you young to be getting married and having divorces?

This isn't really responding to you, seventy2, but something that I usually tell people who want to get married (though you want to get un-married).

Way too many marriages end up in either divorces, or both spouces being unhappy, which can cause strife and stress within a family. I plan on having kids and getting married, but not legally married. Maybe we'll have an unofficial, maybe even quiet ceremony, but the documents and unnecessary records of matrimony seem to make husband and wife feel stuck together, almost trapped. I don't want my wife to feel that pressure, I just want us to be as close and loving as we can be, as much as that lovey-dovey stuff disgusts me.

As long as we have a spiritual marriage and truly love each other, I hope that we, especially once we have children, stay together without legal obligation and any sort of artificial connubiality.

There's a hole in my jeans? I honestly hadn't noticed! Thank god I had you and the twenty morons before you to fucking point it out to me, or I may have walked around with a hole in my jeans all day! Oh wait, I have to anyway.

I ripped a hole in my pants while climbing a rock! I was so pissed! You can bet that I beat that rock down and made it cry. Kicked its ass, I did.

The only thing that someone should take seriously is the fact that nothingis to be taken seriously.
–Samuel Butler

for example: when thinking of marriage, think of the Impressive Clergyman (Peter Cook) in The Princess Bride

"Mawwidge, where twue wuv…"

I've been married fourteen years this September. It ain't easy. But our song is Huey Lewis's "Happy to be Stuck with You." see that Samuel Butler quote above.

And like hard-core tankers say: FIDO! Fuck it, drive on.

I still have a damn cold. It started out as a 24-hr flu, but it's still with me and making me feel crappy. :( I wanna go to the gym again and feel healthy.

Also, my girlfriend lives too far away and it means visiting her in person is a major event. Thankfully we can use webcams and her long-distance plan allows us to talk a lot.

I wish I could speak Chinese.

Ironically, I'm part chinese and can't speak chinese. lol!

i dislike hardcore anime fans who are stoopid. lets take kilala for example. k-i-l-a-l-a. pronounced by hardcore fans, "key-ra-ra". because the japanese have a speech impediment. or full metal alchemist. roy's assistant, liza. l-i-z-a. pronounced by hardcore fans as "ree-za". that annoys the bejeezus outta me…

Seventy2: That makes my head spin. Now I am dizzy and it is partially your fault.

Oh, and Kyupol – I'm half Japanese and I can't speak Japanese. I wish I could speak Japanese. I'm just glad the other half is English-speaking (Scottish) or I'd feel really sad.
