GREENVILLE, MaineThumper, a black Labrador retriever, is getting credit for saving a Greenville man when a fire swept through his home. Roland Cote said his wife and their 7-year-old grandson were away when the blaze started early Sunday in a converted two-story garage. He said Thumper grabbed him by the arm to wake him, leaving just enough time for him to dial 911 before fleeing the fast-moving fire.
While the dog is the hero, a cat is the bad guy in this story.
Cote said the fire marshal investigator believes the blaze was started when Princess, the family cat, tipped over a kerosene lantern. Cote says he and his pets escaped safely, but he says Princess did get her tail singed by the flames.

Good catch. I was wondering if anyone would notice that was the ring of Ernst Stavro Blofeld. :)
I recognized the cat!
They sell super cool rechargeable lanterns (both AC and DC chargeable) for $30 at the local sporting goods store... The cat is not at fault for being a cat.

You're both smart and in charge - with a good amount of attitude. However, you do have a very playful side that occasionally comes out! |

You're friendly and easy to get to know. This makes you very popular - without even trying! |
I came up 50:50, which is somehow more frightening than a prediliction to one or the other. A wee bit schizo, heh.
Gee ... um ... I like your tagline.
The voices in my head agree with you.
Oh, my GOSH!!!!
That is HILLARIOUS.
I highly recommend this video to everyone in this thread.
That’s a rare honor, having a freeper’s quote in your tagline. In my mind, quoting JimRob doesn’t count.
By the way, Sling, that Cat Fan video is very funny, check it out.
Oh no. Here we go. (rolling eyes emoticon)
I am quite honored. It was a throw-away line, that has found a new life!
Maybe I need to start trolling for such quotes.
[insert quotable witty comment here, by Kevmo]
11. Dogs come when you call them.
BS.
10. Dogs look much better at the end of a leash.
Whatever!
7. Dogs will bring you your slippers or the evening newspaper.
BS. You have to (try to) train them, and that’s something Americans don’t do.
6. Dogs will play Frisbee with you all afternoon. Cats will take a three-hour nap.
And the problem with that is??? I like both.
5. Dogs will sit on the car seat next to you.
Only if you conditioned them to like the car.
4. Dogs will greet you & lick your face when you come home from work. Cats will be mad that you went to work at all.
Latter BS.
3. Dogs will sit, lie down, and heel on command.
Only if you (try to) train them.
2. Dogs will tilt their heads and listen whenever you talk. Cats will yawn and close their eyes.
Speak for your pets.
1. Dogs will give you unconditional love forever.
BS. #1 lie of the world for naive people. Selfish like every other soul in the world.
