Well spoken; I would only change it to "dogs and cats".

Dogs go with us. Cats stay at son's house when we roll. In the RV the dogs like to wedge themselves up against us in the bed. No chance an intruder would surprise us.

Can't change the saying. (It's not mine)

Dogs have owners, cats have staff.

I like cats but not enough to own any.

On second thought, we could replace the "dogs" in the saying with "pets." That will work.

Great idea; you've made Herself happy. She's the cat aficionado.

:) Hi, we always had dogs and we love our dogs. Our dogs are not allowed on our furniture or in our beds. They have their own beds. They can go almost anywhere in our house except for the bed rooms. Dusty, our latest dog, has three beds. One in the kitchen, one in the living room, and one in the truck. We never get the same kind of dog because we never want to think of them as a replacement. After our fourth dog, we were not going to have any more. The Vet bills were quite high. When we didn't feel good, we would sweat it out. When the dogs were sick, they went to the Vet. More medical bills for the dogs than us. Well Dusty is number five; He adopted us when his/my parents passed away.

You could have described me with your statement other then I always rescue Collies and I will always have a Collie or two.

:) Hi, when I was a kid, my parents raised Collies. My second dog was a Collie. He came from a long family of champion show dogs, but he wasn't show quality and I didn't want a show dog. I wanted a pet. As a puppy he had huge feet and very small eyes. So in naming him, we named him "Champ" and his AKC name was "Tiny Eyes Clydesdale".

We humans are easily trained. We have had nothing but rescues for the last 26 years. They come with baggage from their former life often mixed with fear and uncertainty, but soon adapt to the home, In doing so they also find their way into our hearts and become our children.

We have three dogs, Suzie, Peaches, Hobo and I must not forget Izzie the cat who was rescued by our dog Levi. Yes Levi our Australian Shepherd brought Izzie home fourteen years ago. He found Izzie in the bushes in our front yard and picked him up and brought him to the house. They were best buddies all of Levi's life. Gosh I miss that dog.

We have 2 cats. We are staff! lol
