I think dogs appreciate being dogs. I don't believe they want to be pampered like children. That is the beauty of dogs; you come home dirty, bloodied and beaten up from a hard day's work and they still want to lick your face.

Dogs give you unconditional love.

I agree with you, dogs are loyal and loving companions, unlike cats who are sly, secretive and very selfish animals who just use you for food and warmth before scuttling off. :(

Ha, a good one and v true, problem with cats is they are cute and fluffy and adorable, but only when they want something, then its off they trot, nose in air, when they have had their fill :lol:

If you want to know the truth about cats, read The Beast From The Abyss by Robert E. Howard. He tells it like it is.

I've been buying some great imported coffee here, but cash flow is currently a problem, so i had to buy the ordinary one in the shop and when i opened the bag there was no smell at all.

I just heard something kind of disturbing on Rush Limbaugh this morning. He said the price of peanut butter is going up 30 to 40 percent tomorrow. That sucks, its one of my staples. He hinted it was because the banks have decided not to charge for using your debit card, and have made a deal with the peanut butter companies to rip us off somewhere else. Bastards.

Peanut butter is supposed to be the poor man's filet mignon. What happened? What are poor white trash like myself supposed to eat now?

I think the hospital system in my area stinks. My mom is still very sick, but they've moved her to a regular ward and she's not getting the care she needs :cry: :cry:

I feel for you. My mother was in a crap hospital, you had to demand for them to do anything. I finally got disgusted and moved her to a better one.

This is precisely why I don't listen to all that global warming rubbish. If the climate is warming, then why the hell is it getting colder and colder with each passing year. It's like 10-15 degrees colder than it was like 5 years ago. We got more snow in just last year than I have seen here in all the other years of my life combined. One place not that far away from me had snow ON HALLOWEEN!!! That Sh-- just don't happen where I come from. Normally we don't even get snow. In my 23 years I have only ever witnessed about 3 or 4 white Christmases, including last year. I swear I think I'm gonna freeze to death, and it's not even winter yet. It just ticks me off. I HATE cold weather. ~Burr~

@Teesie .... I don't think 23 years is long enough to make a judgement on climate change, it may seem a lifetime to you but in the life of this planet it's only an blink.
I've a hell of a pain in my right leg today, think I've pulled a muscle or ligament or something. Really annoying because it's a lovely, sunny, crisp morning here & I can't even go for a walk to clear the head. Got to get to the chemist now to stock up on the Ibuprofen & probably the doc on Monday if things haven't improved.

Sorry to hear that Fran, hope you feel better soon, at least you can read whilst waiting for the Ibu to kick in :D
