You know what? My dog is fucking retarded, when I enter a disk competition, I trow the damn thing and he's just like 'LOL i better drink my own piss and don't get that disk'. That's why I'll never play with him again.
You don;t have a connection with em I guess that doesn't make you a doggie person :p
Yeah I'm moar like a cat person, but like you said, you need to choose a dog first and buy a cat afterwards.
