dogs are mostly more rambunctious then i am. nothing against them. i like anything with four feet that likes me. but i prefer the company of cats. they tear things up when they get bored too, but generally do so quietly, only to be discovered later, but at least not distraction you from figuring out how to do things. well usually. i like dogs to be big enough to not be paranoid of everything like those little yappy ankle attack things, but small enough and smart enough not to require their own house and forty acres to run around in.
