Do people really like yapping dogs?

same place you got your CAT apult from.

cats rely primarily on their nose to sense their environment. their eyesight is fairly sharp but they usually cannot see things clearly beyond 10 to 15 meters. (more towards the ultraviolet range)
to a kitty a laser dot looks as big as a baseball does to us.
their hearing is quite sensitive too.
many things can offend kitty's sense of smell and their natural reaction is to hiss a warning.
household cleaners such as bleach, amonia, and strong perfumes or colognes will also, menthol products can actually irritate them enough to swat or nip you.

That's cleared that one up, can you sort this one out;

My cat was a rescue that made us fall in love with it in the pound then when we got it Home acted like it was feral - BUT 4 years on she is chilled and a great character, Still gets a bit ****y but that is usually me winding her up!

I'd say 'my cat' but she chose me - I'm her human. She's a half feral Himalayan, 18 years old and certifiably insane.

She recently discovered that if she meows into her nearly empty water bowl, she gets much more volume. When the Darth Vader meow comes, I say, "You haven't the vaguest idea what you're meowing at... and that makes two of us." No wonder I call her Potty Cat.

Terriers were bred to bark (or bay) its in their genes..As an owner, you should consider yourself lucky if you have a quiet one...

The trouble is many people buy dogs without taking proper consideration of a breeds history and then place the pup into an environment they are not really suited. It a wondered that there aren't more mal adjusted dogs with what they have to put up with...

Don't think so Spoon, think he mean the type of dog like the one at the back of my house, barking all hours, tried speaking to it's owner, all tattoos and chains felt quite intimidated, so to answer the question, no I don't like yappy dogs.

Strangely enough, when terriers were used by the Hunts, it wasn't unusual for them to be carried in special bags or even in Huntsmen's pockets, but that was still out of practicality, rather than treating the dogs as fashion accessories as many do now...

For some reason I now have an image in my head of you and your "partner" mincing down Old Compton St with your little dogs being carried in man bags.

Pete, if you where on a building site back in the 80's and a bloke walked in stating he has 4 chihuahuas you wouldn't change in to your overalls in front of him, this must be a mistake, did his wife make him do it for some past indiscretions or does he mean giraffes? ;o))))))

Something you will have to ask Tel yourself Mate. Good luck with that.

prior to moving in with the current mrs. Tel, the smallest dog i've ever had was a german shepherd, last 2 dogs were rottys. never thought i could take to small dogs and there are some small breed i detest, like minature poodles and shitzus, but chihuahuas grow on you, like warts.

I thought as a member of the pack ,you received a personal grooming service ,that envolved wart removal.
