Amusing time for such a topic as I'm mulling over pickin' out a pooch! I saw this "Chusky" mix (Chow Chow + Siberian Husky) female at the humane society that would probably be a good choice.

EDIT:

Although, a dog is an odd choice for me given that I grew up around cats all the time. I actually do like cats as they're fairly easy going, which is a bit like yours truly. That's kind of why I was looking more toward a dog that's more easy going, and apparently, the "Chusky" is like a Chow inside (easy going) but like a Husky outside (playful). Seems like a good mix to me.

If you want a dog that's cat like a basenji is a good choice.

dogs FTW: I'm allergic to cats.

cat races aren't that different in size/shape but they are clearly distinguishable just like dogs. Different color, size, sitting position, patterns, hair lenghts, character.
I prefer cats to dogs.

I had a beagle/spaniel cross growing up. Wouldn't mind getting another once I get established in my own place.

The dog will always think you're the most awesome person in the world. Cats just treat you as a slave and don't even have the decency to go outside to do their business.

Cats are subtle, and very individualistic. It takes time around them, and you have to pay attention to get a grip on their personalities.

Yeah? So what's your excuse?

The Cat's Diary
Day 983 of My Captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.

The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a "good little hunter" I am. Bastards!

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of "allergies." I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now ...

Someone had to post it. :)
