There is always 'Other people's kids have convinced me I don't want my own.'

And

'I can't lock a kid away in a playpen or crate unattended while I leave the house.' The cost of child care is crazy.

Or...simply....

'I don't like humans. I prefer dogs.'

Though I love you ladies, as a whole I dislike the human race.

I would likely respond with 'I can't have kids, thanks, and no I'm not interested in adopting someone elses.' Kudos to those that are, however.

When I am told oh you should have your own real babies............ my responses are;
1) these are real babies, they just have alot of hair
2) I am to young (Yikes Im like 34 turning 35 I think LOL)
and finally which is the honest truth on how I feel is.....................
3) I cant have a baby because I dont want my three to feel left out of the circle or be jealous!!!

Oh Donna, you really don't know how doable that could be!!!! Once the summer rains start, the dog park floods. Stagnant water, full of the blood suckers. I'll have to remember this!!!

I don't get the Maltese questions but I do get the "SHE is so cute, what's HER name"? To which I respond "Ben" and then they usually say something like, "well Ben you are a beautiful GIRL"

This from a guy who has had what sounds like every type dog, whose pooch was humping all the males, but wouldn't get it fixed cause its too expensive.

We should have a sticky about the dumb things stupid people say. I want to chew nails right now. If I smack him in the future, would I get in trouble?

Smack him really hard and yell "mosquito!"
My god people are idiots, he should get his dog neutered and ask for the two for one special and get himself neutered!

Michelle, we have lots of clinics here, that sounds like a good one!!!

I have no idea where he came from but will say, he's almost 8 and has never had health issues. He has a very long body, short legs, tight curly hair, spotty pigmentation and makes pig noises.

[QUOTE=maggieh;2253978]My friend who's a trainer had a pet parent call her about training. The owner said she had just gotten a Maltese, but it wasn't the white ones - it was a very rare black Maltese!

I have one of those "rare black" maltese, he is a "girl" named teddy. They must from those rare mixed breeds where the boys where bows.
