Are you pet friends?

  • 1.  Are you pet friends?

    Posted 2 days ago
    Edited by Jason Kleitz 2 days ago

    Here's another fun fact to discuss at the coffee machine... are you pet-friendly or do you prefer a home without any pets?

    If the first is true, are you more of a team dog or a team cat? Or do you favour some other animal type?

    As usual, let me go first.

    For the past 10 years, a small dachshund  (aka a sausage dog in the UK) has shared the house with our family.

    He is an adorable, cunning, stubborn dog, very attached to all members of the family (he monitors what everyone is doing!), always looking for cuddles and food, ready to defend his territory. His favourite pastime? Sleeping under a warm blanket.

    And now I'm curious to hear about you.

    Growing up, my family had both dogs and cats. Now that I'm married with a house of my own, we are team dog with a Staffordshire Terrier named Meatsauce. He's the funniest dog I've ever been around and constantly brings us joy.

    @Evan Feick, I imagine it's an American Staffordshire Terrier, that is, it's an American Pit Bull Terrier, right? ... it's a beautiful, massive dog that comes from crosses between molosser-type dogs and terrier-type dogs designed for fighting; now they are self-confident and good-natured. It's wonderful to have a friend who brings joy to your family like that!

    I used to have a German Shepherd and most recently a Border Collie.
    I love dogs, I don't like cats.
    Currently I don't have a dog and even though I love them, I don't intend to get one.

    @Kaio Oliveira, you've had some really nice dogs... why have you decided not to have any more? What's the underlying reason behind it?

    Hi Claudio

    Here at home there are 5 of us: me, my wife and our 3 children (aged 15, 11, and 4).
     
    We really enjoy traveling, so we're practically out of the house every weekend, and since I work from home, that usually extends to Monday or Tuesday.
     
    The main reason is that the dog was left alone for too long without food, water, and with his mess, haha.

    @Kaio Oliveira, that's completely understandable.

    hello everyone,

    Can't imagine my home without pets - 2 cats and a dog.

    They are my home-office partners :)
