I prefer them. I'm just sayin'.

Our 12 year old dachsund died in March and I wanted a while to get over the loss but wife and son started a campaign for a new dog and son found a mixed dachsund at a shelter that had been a stray so we adopted him and he's been great. Then last month my son went back to the shelter and there was a female miniature brown dachsund and we adopted her, too. She's very quiet and did not know what to do at first in the back yard or on walks, I think she lived in an apartment, but she's starting to get it.

I recently discovered I can take my dog on walks without a leash if I bring a laser pointer. I can make him go wherever I want with that thing. He is transfixed.

He may be a Phillies fan.

Well, there's a reason you prefer them. They're useful.

The next time you're running a marathon in Siberia, clap your hands and a dog with a small barrel of whiskey will appear at your side.

If during that Siberian marathon you should suddenly go blind, clap your hands and a dog with a small barrel of whiskey will appear at your side. There's a chance that dog was trained to help people blinded during marathons in Siberia.

If you're a law enforcement agent, running in a Siberian marathon, pulling over a suspected drug smuggler, clap your hands and a dog with a small barrel of whiskey will appear at your side. There's a chance that dog was trained to sniff out dirty Mexicans sent to assassinate US soccer players, especially Landon Donovan.

If you're Landon Donovan, clap your hands and a dog with a one-time trial of Rogaine and a small barrel of whiskey will appear at your side.

DOGS DO STUFF AND CATS DO NOTHING!!!

My cat brings me beer...sort of.

Small barrels of whiskey >>> potential bottles of beer that cat CANNOT carry

Again, dog beats cat.

dogs-->cats: pujols-->miles

I have a cat. I've also have 3 dogs. While the cat is fun to mess with, he's really a terrible bastard that just wants to be left alone most of the time and is always getting into [expletive]. My old dog was the best animal I've ever owned. There's no comparison. I would take a dog over a cat 100 times out of 100.
