The problem with cats is that they suck. Actually, “scratch” that, they really suck. Taking care of a pet is a pretty major responsibility. There’s the initial cost of the animal itself, the expensive toys, beds, accessories, etc., and the never ending stream of vet bills for the decade-plus of care taking (some cats live to age 20!). Don’t forget the inevitable damage to your home and clothing, the boarding fees/hassle, and the very real notion that owning a pet means being responsible for a life. Quite simply, the kitty comes up short when you run a calculation of the ROI. We astute dog owners know that to be our return on investment.				Man’s Best Friend, how can you possibly achieve a better moniker than that?! Dogs are one the few examples left in the world of pure joy, personified. Ummm, make that caninified. Seriously, unless they’ve trained at Bad Newz Kennels or by The Clever Jew, dogs are all about love, enthusiasm and naps. A dog cannot help but greet you at the door upon your return home, it’s in his DNA. Its almost like dogs are suffer the same short-term memory loss as that dude from Memento. If you leave for 5 minutes, your dog will act like you were gone for 5 days. It’s f*cking awesome. And it’s the payoff for a lifetime of pooper scoopers and bad breath.
