I don’t hate cats, I just prefer dogs.

My pooch is lying here beside me.
He doesn’t poop in the closet and walk around on my counter tops.

Dogs are fine in the house. Cats belong in the barn.

I prefer dogs but we have 2 cats (9 years old) and I have really come to love them.

Heads up to Dog Lovers. Friend just lost her pooch to HISTOPLASMOSIS. It is a fungus that lives in the ground and can be associated with bird poop and bat poop.

Inexperienced vet missed it as it can be controlled if found early.

Symptoms: slight cough, intermittent fever and diarrhea, stops eating. I saw the dog and it drank a lot of water before they noticed the fever. Did exploratory surgery and it had nodules on the spleen, a dead section of intestine and this fungus covering the lungs. Not in all areas of the country.
