Hey, Sunny backed off. She's probably the smartest one we've got.

Domestic animals don't seem to have a real good sense of "who's the boss" until they fight it out a bit. First time we took my Yorkies out to socialize they charged into a pack of big tundra shepherds, fortunately well trained ones. The leader put a big paw on Curly's back and pretty much flattened him into the ground, held him there for a few seconds then ignored him. I was humiliated, can't even imagine how the dogs felt

>>but if you vacuum regilarly...
The trick with labs is to vacuum the dogs directly, don't wait until they shed. Start them fairly young, scratch their backs then start doing it with the vacuum turned off and finally graduate to vacuum turned on.
Get them used to it and you will have almost no shed hair, but you will have a tough time vacuuming 'cause the &%^&%dog will follow you around the house wanting to be vacuumed again.

LOL! In short, you end up creating a monster.

Yes, but a very clean monster with a wonderful temperament.

Nothing against cats, but I've always been a big dog person. I've got a fun loving lab, not the smartest but still a great dog. We call him our 'C student'.
Now here's your challenge. I want to see this cat thread get bigger than the Politics thread...

heh, good luck :P
I like cats because they don't need as much attention as dogs and right now I don't have the time to walk/play with a dog all the time. I find that cats are often content with playing with a toy or sleeping on your lap. I like dogs as well, though (and I'm not trying to say that dogs always need attention -- it is probably different with all breeds)

pretty good. I think that the "eye goobers" were just due to a cold (she had started sneezing as well, but both symptoms seem to have dissapeared) We're takning her to the vet next wednesday to get her second set of shots, but she is driving my girlfriend crazy -- attacking feet in bed/while doing dishes... getting into everything... I think I may have to give up the girlfriend.
The poor little thing (kitten) will not sleep anywhere except on us or our pillows which is not good, as my girlfriend has a slight alergy (which becomes a little bit more than slight with the cat on her head...)
