We are talking about having the pets that we can play the freebie/tricks with them.

Winks surreptitiously to the audience...

Having them for lunch, more like. Shame on you!

 

I guess dogs are better ? at least they listen to you most of the time.

Dogs for sure. Not talking about miniature dogs tho.I like cats but wouldn't want to own one.

 

I just feel as if I have a special connection with my dog. He's happy when he see's me and likes to say hello (also likes following me down the driveway to say goodbye), keeps by my side everywhere I go, listens to me, gives me hugs when I'm upset and so on. Just something about a dog that I don't think I'd get from a cat.

Hey! We're suppose to be promoting dogs, not making them look bad. :laugh:

:laugh:

 

You mean, like, how I say my dog is sooooooooo smart, he knows when i've over slept and wakes me up for work, yet the smart goes away, once I try to show him off in front of people and he starts his tail chasing (quite vigorously too  :rofl:  ).

My cat does all of that. Greets me at the door - and even gets upset if I take extra time to cover my car. Keeps me company. Sleeps in my bed (often on my chest). Cheers me up when I'm down.

He jumps and grabs! 

 

We had a dog like that when I was young...  the dog can eat/chew about everything..   what a mess the dog made... we came home from out for a ride to this mess he made.. we were like DAMN! 

 

We couldn't take it anymore and got rid of it to someone else.

 

We had yellow lab that she was smart and listen to what we say such as commands..

 

My brother, who lives in other side of town, has 3 Australian cattle dogs. Very smart and trainable dogs.

Yup he's eveyones pal, but he chases anything that moves(cats, deer, rabbits) if he takes off, the only way to get him back is to turn and run the opposite way :D

i feel really bad looking at this chained dog.   

any dog behavious expert will tell you that this dog is acting submissive!

and the "smile" is a way for it to show complete submissiveness!!!   

sometimes they do it to get "rewards" such is getting petted or rubbed.

but in this case, the effort put to make the smile and the chain, makes me think this dog is acting out of fear.

 

knowing this, i pretty much hate looking at the pictures of "smiling" dogs!

Got to be honest, I didn't notice the chain until you mentioned it. :(

 

To make up for my mistake, here's a picture of an actual happy dog:

Take a look at the background... that dog could be at the warehouse or shop... that the dog owner took the dog to work since no one watch the dog...  that's the reason the owner put the dog on chain so the dog won't wander off. That they have garage doors open...

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By eiffel_g · Posted

      Funny, but I didn't had the issue. All PC's at work are Dell and we had the culprit version of Support Assist for about 2 weeks until we got the new one. No problem at all. And for checking you can also use Dell Command Update, no need to search in windows settings. Just check the Upgrade History.

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
