Animal Planet runs the Puppy Bowl all day on Super Bowl Sunday, and I would take Puppy Bowl over the Super Bowl, hands down! I'm not sure how much of Puppy Bowl is available online, but I know it does have a website if you're interested in finding out more. I wish I had seen this earlier.

Does that mean I am pro dog and cat? I am all for animal rights, but I don't think I could own a cat. I'd be waiting for it to eat my eyeballs. My point in commenting is the site dogster.com. Have you seen it? There is a companion catster (I think?). I must admit my dog has a profile on it and her own blog. I haven't been on it in awhile, but it was as addicting as facebook. I would post a picture of my westie, but I am using the pc at work and I am a mac girl. P.S. the website I used has you click to feed shelter animals!

I have four, because I live in a little apartment. But when I have a house (soon, I hope!) I will have dogs too, because I have always adored dogs. They meet different emotional needs -- dogs are happy to see you and awesome companions for a walk, but cats are cuddly and independent. But the real loves of my life are my two horses. More than any dog or cat, my horses are the reason the sun rises each morning. They're as happy to see me as any dog, and as independent as any cat. I love the challenges (and exercise!) of riding, and I also love just lying against Tonka's neck in the summer to take a nap in the pasture. Hooray for horses! Yes, cats are awesome.

I generally prefer cats because I'm an introvert (not because I'm a feminist), but I can't have them because I'm badly allergic and don't want to have to be chronically medicated for 15 years just so I can breathe around my own pet. I needed frequent medication since I was 15 when the asthma part of my cat allergy developed and became chronic, through college when I had to go home to a house with cats in between semesters. So, it's probably gonna have to be fish and rodents for me, or possibly a bird one day, although they can be kind of noisy and too extroverted like dogs. I have fish, but being in an officially "no pets" apartment I don't think I could get away with a rodent, even though I occasionally dream of getting one. (Just did last night.) Cute dog!
