Oh yeah, and you can sport a hairless “hairdo,” it makes you look tougher and younger, and a good electric shaver applied by feel once a week (with maybe a little mirror touch up afterwards) is all the maintenance it needs. Try that, ladies!
You might like the responses I posted to SkyDancer’s claims of dog superiority.
Then again, the expanded list of cats betterthan women points has only gotten better, I think.
It is said that in the days of long ago, cats were regarded as gods and we mere mortal humans worshipped them and built grand temples to their greatness.
And cats have never forgotten... *grin*
Eventually she warmed up to us enough that she would occasionally let us pet her, and she'd sneak into the house and eat from our cat's dish if we left a door open while Apple was outside. One day my wife came home from the store and found her sleeping on our bed; apparently she had come in without my wife noticing before she left. At that point we pretty much knew we'd been chosen.
We named her Patch, and from the markings on her face it should be apparent how we came up with the name. Of all our cats (we have three, the third of which was part of the litter she was pregnant with when she adopted us), she has the most intense stare, and while she is affectionate she is definitely affectionate on her own terms. Despite all her years as a feral cat (my best estimate is that she's at least six years old), she has never bitten or scratched either of us.
"Gorgeous dogs dont know theyre gorgeous."
Whenever I walked KeeshaSuzanne, the Gorgeous Goddess of Keeshonds (yes, that was her name), people in town would light up at the sight of her and everyone stopped to say how beautiful she was. It was like walking Marilyn Monroe.
One day, some Japanese tourists walked past us without even glancing at Keesh. She turned and looked at me, really puzzled, as if to say, "Huh? Are they blind or what?" She definitely knew she was gorgeous.
Also, she liked to shop. No kidding. She had her favorite stores and was in heaven in the hardware store where the shelves went to the floor. She'd look at something, turn around and get my attention: "Have you ever seen such terrific lightbulbs?" Or placemats? Or whatever. She literally gathered followers in the stores, and the local newspaper asked me to do a weekly shopping column of Keesha's Picks ....Wish I had, now that she's gone.
Keeshonds and Samoyeds have the most incredible and permanent smiles of all breeds. They do know they are gorgeous and expect you to know too. And then there's the grooming thing....don't get me started
Agreed. If you look back at the previous thread, you will see that SkyDancer made a counterclaim to My original one, and the lines in quotes above are hers. My responses follow immediately after, and if you look closely you will note My general thoughts along the same direction as yours.

Responce to: Women think Dogs Are Better Than Men and say dogs...
1. "Always think women are smart and dont make fun of their shortcomings."
That is because dogs are smarter than most guys and not stupid enough to believe women when they are demanded to state a true opinion. They just keep on smiling away...
2. "Dogs are willing to sleep on a rug and fetch on command."
And this is different from being forced to sleep on the couch and perform countless HoneyDo's exactly how?
3. "Dogs spend less time worrying about hair loss."
True, but women who experience it think of nothing else but.
4. "(Their) Old buddies dont show up on (the) doorstep unexpectedly."
That is because even dogs can reasonably expect to get a better reception than a guy's old friend. Less competition for time, just for starters.
5. "Dogs are utterly disinterested in professional sports."
Demonstrably False. Even obstacle courses, farthest jump into a pool to catch a frisbee, and sheepherding are now professional sports, and guys just love them!
6. "Your parents find them easier to like."
That's because most dogs are probably not as stupid as your last boyfriend.
7. "Dogs are rarely jealous of your former boyfriends."
*snort* Dogs are only jealous of Alpha Males.
8. "Dogs are willing to hold your purse in public."
Only because you don't force them to go shopping with you.
9. "(Dogs are) Unlikely to roll over and lose consciousness immediately following intense play."
I dunno. I think it depends more on how often you define "play" as in "to imitate a log".
10. "Dogs dont complain when you want to go for a walk."
Yeah? Try waking one up when they are attempting to take a nap too.
11. "Dogs are willing to eat anything you put on their plate and will always want more."
Unlike guys, dogs do not mind occasionally eating crap. But hey, if that's the kind of breath you prefer...
12. "Dogs tend to bath(e) themselves daily, men must be encouraged to do so."
You and I obviously have quite different ideas of what constitutes a REAL dog. A cat, maybe.
13. "You can put a dog in a crate when you dont feel like having it around."
Only if you love constant whining. Wait, what am I saying? A woman not understanding whining?
14. "Dogs expect to go outside on leashes... men think they can do everything on their own."
You think being expected to always sit there and listen with an interested expression every day while you 'talk about' your day is NOT being leashed? Not to mention being expected to ask permission before going "out" with the guys? Have another glass of wine, honey.
15. "Dogs do not have problems expressing affection in public."
Dogs also do not have a problem licking their balls in public and humping your leg. What's your point?
16. "Dogs miss you when youre gone."
Of course they do. After awhile, the lack of random whining spells gets you to the point where you begin to kind of miss it.
17. "You never wonder whether your dog is good enough for you."
Of course not. After you get them de-nutted, they never have to "wonder" again.
18. "Dogs feel guilt when theyve done something wrong."
Maybe. But that steak sure was delicious. And just wait until you step into the shower early in the morning...
19. "Dogs dont brag about whom they have slept with."
That's because after one mistake, we guys all know better.
20. "Dogs dont criticize your friends."
No, like most smart guys, we simply prefer to pee on their tyres when they are not looking. Or sometimes when they are.
21. "Dogs admit when theyre jealous."
Really? How can you tell? Do they pout and give you the "silent treament"?
22. "Dogs are very direct about wanting to go out."
Of course they are. When nature calls, you answer. Then again they do not seem to have a problem playing on the carpet they just peed on.
23. "Dogs do not play games with you except fetch (and they never laugh at how you throw)."
That's because like them, you also seem to have a problem with opposeable thumbs to play video games with, not to mention being totally clueless about "catch-the-squirrel" so they have a good idea of your limitations and stick with games you can participate in.
24. "Dogs are happy with any video you choose to rent, because they know the most important thing is that youre together."
That's because dogs do not know what a Colonoscopy is. Usually.
25. "Dogs dont feel threatened by your intelligence."
Really? This from someone who has no idea what catch-the-squirrel is all about? They also do not undersand how you equate "intelligence" to "feelings". Kind of like most guys.
26. "You can train a dog."
And the dog will still run and fetch a lit stick of dynamite back to you, unlike any guy. But hey, if that's all that you care about...
27. "Dogs are easy to buy for."
You've obviously never brought a twelve-pack and chips over for a barbeque.
28. "Dogs are good with kids."
So are toilets. And mushrooms, although generally not at the same time.
29. "Dogs are already in touch with their inner puppies."
Okay... and guys should feel like puppies because...? Or are you saying that extreme immaturity is some sort of goal you feel guys should want to achieve? Or perhaps unrestricted bowel movements are what you are really all about.
30. "You are never suspicious of your dogs dreams."
*snort* That's because dogs don't dream about beer and pretzels. Sniffing butts, maybe.
31. "Gorgeous dogs dont know theyre gorgeous."
Oh, I dunno. A happy Irish Setter, a proud Husky, a cheerful Golden Retriever. I think they know.
32. "The worst social disease you can get from dogs is fleas. (OK. The *really* worst disease you can get from them is rabies, but theres a vaccine for it, and you get to kill the one that gives it to you.)"
You obviously have never undergone a divorce. With a vindictive lawyer opposing. As a male.
33. "Dogs understand what NO means."
Because they are reminded of it 24/7 -and they are smart enough to pretend ignorance when the command "the toilet needs cleaning" is uttered.
34. "Dogs dont need therapy to undo their bad socialization."
No, because after you have them de-nutted, therapy is no help at all.
35. "Dogs dont make a practice of killing their own species."
You mean unlike women?
36. "Dogs understand if some of their friends cannot come inside."
And also, rolling about in a pile of rotting garbage is something they find perfectly acceptable as well.
37. "Dogs do not read at the table."
Or on the toilet. What's your point?
38. "You can house train a dog."
And yet, somehow, cats need no training at all...
39. "You can force a dog to take a bath."
But yet somehow they still do not laugh at your silly jokes, preferring instead to slowly suffer in silence.
40. "Dogs dont correct your stories."
Neither do cats, however unlike dogs, cats are smart enough to just ignore you and walk away knowing it will be quite some time before you even realize they have left.
41. "Middle-aged dogs dont feel the need to abandon you for a younger owner."
Yeah, after they've been "fixed" they really don't feel many needs at all...
42. "Dogs arent threatened by a woman with short hair."
I think only professional barbers seem to find hair of any concern.
43. "Dogs arent threatened by two women with short hair."
Dogs don't usually find poodles threatening either, so I fail to see where you are going with this...
44. "Dogs dont mind if you do all the driving."
That's because after the first couple of near-misses, they know the only hope they have of getting back home in one piece is just accepting the fact that you are totally lost and hope that some nice street bum will point you eventually in the right direction, so they just sit there and moan quietly to themselves.
45. "Dogs love to dance."
And pee on you with happiness. What's your point?
46. "Dogs dont step on the imaginary brake."
*snort* Yeah, like women would know what a "brake" is... Or the proper definition of "Lost".
47. "Dogs admit it when theyre lost."
This from the perpetually lost? Yeah, the Hari Krishna followers've got nothing on them there. Most of them admitted it when My Ex- suddenly started sporting that "If you don't like the way I drive, stay offa da sidewalk!" bumper sticker.
48. "Dogs dont weigh down your purse with their stuff."
Why would they? You'd just make them carry it regardless.
49. "Dogs look at your eyes."
And your butt, quite intensely. Again, what's your point?
50. "Dogs like your size."
Only a woman would think what a dog thinks about your size is important.
51. "Dogs do not care whether you shave your legs."
That's because guys like non-hairy legs, and dogs, well, hairy or non-hairy they are going to hump it regardless.
52. "Dogs take care of their own needs."
Okay... time to wakey-wakey! How many Valium, exactly, DID you take? Dogs need to be trained to go outside, but cats arrive already knowing how to use the litterbox.
53. "Dogs are color blind."
Unlike women, I suppose. Women want colour blindness? That would be why so many stores have aisles of hair colour products on display, I suppose. Bats are colour-blind as well.
54. "Dogs arent threatened if you earn more than they do."
Let's face it, ANYONE makes more than a dog makes, even the kids at a lemonade stand. However, I understand if you feel the need to publicize how much you make for some reason. Let's talk about your father...
55. "Dogs mean it when they kiss you."
They mean it when they hump your leg too, but thankfully then their breath is usually not as close, especially since they habitually lick their butts as well then have no problem "kissing" you.
56. "Dogs are nice to your relatives."
Hey, here a leg-hump, there a leg-hump --what's not to like?
57. "Dogs obsess about you as much as you obsess about them."
Ummm, OK, I'll take a guess here that you are not a real woman, are you?
58. "Dogs dont care how you dress."
? And this is different from men how, exactly?
I like your cat Patch already. In fact, I am seriously considering copying that pic and cropping it to make up a sign with a “Warning” banner across it.
That is a gorgeous tortie!
Pretty girl. Yep, she knows which side her bread is buttered on. She wants that gushy food to keep on comin’, she ain’t gonna scratch her benefactor. Looks like she’s been in a scrape or two before she changed her lifestyle. I bet her kittens were pretty.
Ooopsie! Thanks mate! Thats what comes from typeing much too fast late at night just before bed. Quite appreciate the assist then.
No worries.
At least you weren’t drunk typing -something I’m usually guilty of from time to time....
*laugh* Too right, mate. No, I wasn’t pissed that time.
Dogs rule. :)
SkyDancer tried to make a counter to My claims that cats were better. The lines in bold above are her claims, and My responces follow immediately after... I hope you will agree with My assertions. *grin*
