I'm so glad I talked myself out of getting a Chow - I'm not an experienced dog owner, and I would be useless in the face of guard behavior, which is a bad thing because I live with my folks and they love having friends over often. And I like taking my dog to parks, and so on... Fortunately I have the best dog instead! He loves people and being cute and taking me on infinite walks.  Cute thread content: Apollo noticed me taking a picture of him on his bed and wanted to come check me out, but bounding through the snow is a lot of work... (these two shots were taken like a minute apart)

I was thinking last night about the Maremmas used to protect small endangered penguins living on a tiny island off of Australia.

Edit ^^^ I love when cats get to a point where they mess up but don't panic about it. Just a "Yes, this is happening now" sort of resignation and mild indignation. My favorite talkative dog video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_3WQYyy7nA

I've had two border collies and while I've been blessed in that they've both been extremely chill border collies (my last one was a completely great apartment dog), they absolutely still developed neuroses about the weirdest things.

Helith posted:
I've posted some here before, but I never get tired of sharing my little girls.  Here's a picture of both of them in my kitchen. Jessie is the abyssinian and Esme is the black girl in the sink.  Jessie likes to wait for me to come home. I've had Jessie for longer than I've had Esme, so I have more pictures of her. For now, at least.  Here's a picture of Jessie wondering why I'm not petting her (I petted her right after taking the picture, don't worry). She's very social. She's not particularly shy, and will meow at anyone who looks like they might be able to pet her. She's not terribly fond of strange cats. She used to try to get into my parents' bedroom to attack their cats. She was declawed by a previous owner and is significantly smaller than them, but she still managed to terrorize them.  This is a picture of Jessie with her brother Rocky. I lost Rocky about a year-and-a-half ago. He was basically the sweetest cat ever. He loved everyone. If I had guests over, he'd climb into their laps and demand belly rubs. He loved other cats. When I fostered a kitten, he took right to it and treated it like his own baby. He's very much missed.  Here's a picture of Jessie in a shark costume. She thought this was less cute than I did.  She was also not entirely into the Wonder Woman costume I got her.  This is Esme. I got her about a year-and-a-half ago after I lost Rocky. She's a very sweet cat. However, she's also much less confident than Jessie, and it took a lot of work to get her to feel safe around me. She didn't leave my kitchen for weeks after I got her because she was scared of encountering Jessie. She stayed either in a little cupboard or on top of the fridge, where Jessie didn't like to go.  Gradually, Esme became much more comfortable. She started to explore the house more. She likes to perch on the cat tree and sharpen her claws on it. Unlike Jessie, she has a full, functional set, but she's still terrified of of the cat that's about 3/4 her size (8 lbs vs. 12 lbs). She loves to play and chomp me. I do not mind being chomped. She's still more nervous than Jessie. She doesn't like being picked up and she gets scared if she thinks she's backed into a corner. I don't dress her up like I do Jessie because it would be more stressful for her, where Jessie just gets mildly annoyed with me (and demands snuggles in compensation).  Here they are at the vet. Jessie is in excellent health. Esme has a viral infection that makes her eyes look the way they do. There's not really any treatment for it, but she still has good quality of life. She basically gets the sniffles a lot and her eyesight isn't as great as it could be. But she's happy, and I love her. I'm hoping to get a dog with a nice, generally calm disposition that will do well with them. A yellow lab or a golden retriever would be pretty good. I'll see what's at the shelter, though, or maybe look into rescue groups.

Yay! Magnificent cattes 12/10! I adore black cats so good on you for giving Esme a great home and Jessie is a very beautiful cat, love her colouring. A pupper will round out your family beautifully.

I know that, if you're a pupper owner who has to leave said pupper alone in the house for extended periods of time (work, etc), it's recommended that you get a second pupper so they won't be alone, but does that companionship also extend to cats? Is a cat/pupps companionship as healthy as a double doggo dreamteam?
