Why Dogs?

Can you relate to a side? Photo Credits: Mind Jet

Dogs are what helps me remember the good in the world. Sure, cats are okay. There are many people who love cats as I do dogs. But I would get a dog over cat any day. Here are ten reasons why.

1. Dogs are always there for you. Dogs always want to be with you, unlike most cats. They typically don't want to be alone if you're around.
2. Dogs love their masters. Cats may love their masters as well, but normally they expect their owner to worship them, where dogs worship their owner.
3. Dogs are playable. I understand that some people may not want a hyper-active animal in their house. Some people like lazy cats. But for me, even though my dog is too old for it now, I love being able to take dogs on walks and run around with them.
4. Dogs are happy. Sure, cats are happy. But they definitely don't express it in the same way that dogs do.
5. Dogs are adventurous. Have you ever met a dog that doesn't sniff everything in sight? I sure haven't. Dogs are curious and always looking for adventure. Very similar to myself.
6. Dogs are low maintenance. All a dog really needs is food, water, some outdoors time, and some loving from their master.
7. Dogs fit my personality. If I were to describe a cat as a person, they would be a spoiled-rotten teenage girl. Whereas a dog would be more of a nature-loving hippie. I don't know about you, but I think I'd rather hang out with a nature-loving hippie than a spoiled-rotten teenage girl . . .
8. Dogs are transportable. You can throw your dog in the back of your car and take them on a road trip. You can take your dog hiking, camping, fishing, or backpacking. You can even fly your dog. Although you COULD do all of that with a cat, you would have to have a lot of determination . . .
9. Dogs understand emotion. I'm pretty sure all of you dog-owners out there know what I'm talking about. When I'm happy, my dog knows and he becomes even happier than he was. When I'm sad, my dog sits next to me and gives me slobbery kisses. And when I'm upset, my dog can help me calm down. It's better than therapy.
10. Dogs make you a happier, more energetic person. The only way I know to interact with a cat is to simply sit and pet it for hours on end. With a dog, there are so many things you can do with it (everything above). Also, being around happier people and getting more exercise effects how you feel. Dogs help you with both.

Update on Cosmo: He is wearing a softer cone that was lent to us now, but he's running into more things because the cone is not clear. He's healing quickly and the cone should be off of him soon.

Came home today to find Cosmo asleep- as usual.
