My wife brought two terrorists into our midst. I was her #1 and she fawned over me and kept me well-fed. Now all of a sudden, I'm knocked down to #3. At the terrorist store, money is no object. $150 for some playthings and stuff that terrorists shouldn't need but let me try to order an Edson suicide knob for the boat for $100 and all hell breaks loose. WTF???
Anybody else having trouble with this? What to do?

Same happened to me years ago - relegated to the #4 slot.
I let my wife and the hairballs fight it out for the title....

I don't know what you guys are talking about, I can still drive the boat for them ...

Hysterical that you have the F1 on in the background!
I have had to lock up the smaller of the two hair balls when I watch F1 races as she like to chase cars on screen.
Not the sharpest kitty in the drawer...

That's too funny. When Cody was a pup he did some crazy stuff like that when there were animals on the tv.
Yeah, I am a big race fan and love to have any race or football game on, on the boat. Wife doesn't care as she just reads when the boat isn't moving. Dog has to have drinks with us as well. I get the Labrador stare and must give him a few licks of my drink.
 
Pet...the infant that never grows up. I don't get the love affair with an animal that requires daily care. We cruised with a couple that had a dog. The first consideration before doing anything was what to do with the dog. I don't need to drag that anchor.
You have no idea what you are missing.

Yes I do. Grew up with a Brittany Spaniel that, of course, my brother and I were tasked with tending to and later had a cat for many years. I'm not missing either one. No smell, no hair, no poop duty. What's to miss? A lick on the face?

You probably should have over looked this thread.

I never did get people that don't like animals and still don't - I'll refrain from commenting further.
 
I miss my golden retriever, Buddy, every day. He has been gone since 2007. But, we are gone so much that it wouldn't be fair to have an animal. My friends have 2 goldens, so when I need my fix I just go over to their house. Kinda like being a grandparent.

I grew up with 4 Siberian Huskies.
The first thaw of spring I would pick shit up for hours.
I still miss those dogs!

That must have been awesome!

But yep, Same back on Long Island with my Labs. Spring was always, well, nice. None of which would ever make think to not want my dog.

I'm going to assume that your talking about living with four huskies and not the day spent tip-toeing through the minefield of meadow muffins. :eek:

Yes, they were a blast!

Haha - yes the four Huskies for sure!

Never commented on your actual post. The only thing you can do, get use to it! Some things will never change.
 
We have three as noted in my signature. All high energy. A baby Blue Heeler (now almost 3), A Heeler Border Collie cross and a full blood Border Collie. I'd sell the bipeds before I quit on the quadpeds. They are cleaner, listen better and no where near the smell of the bipeds.

As for the Yorkie's or any other tea cup breed, I have no use for them. My mom raised, bread and showed them most of my life. My daughter has one in the house, against my wishes. I have no love for the breed. I mean, if you want a fluffy rat running around and pissing on all your stuff, then they are the best at that. And if I find one more pile of crap on the back of the sofa, he is getting a one way flight lesson out the back door.

Dad has fought that battle of "the small dogs get every penny but you get squat" for years. Mom passed and dad wasted no time in getting them all new homes and finding out that his retirement checks were 20 times more than he knew of.

My Heeler goes where I go. I am her "emotional support human" and, for the most part, shows more love than anything/body in the house.

Edited to add, DO NOT name a dog after anything expensive. Saffron the spice is roughly $27 and ounce. After all the vet bills, my Saffron is roughly $26.58 an ounce. Next one will be named Fred or George or Sally. If it has to be a spice, Pepper. Something cheap.
