I have always been a dog person. Currently have a German Short Haired Pointer that is far and away the smartest dog I have ever been around. Never liked cats until my daughter's got one from a litter down the street. I finally grudgingly admitted that I like the cat too.....it is just different. She is a cold blooded killer - usually just eats the heads. One day last summer we had a bird, squirrel, frog, lizard and a chipmunk carcass all in her favorite drop zone - all headless. She also gets along famously with the dogs. On a rainy day, she scales the fence to the dog pen and huddles up with the dogs in their house.
