You cannot share your life with a dog, as I had done in Bournemouth, or a cat, and not know perfectly well that animals have personalities and minds and feelings.
Time spent with cats is never wasted.
I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.
I believe cats to be spirits come to earth. A cat, I am sure, could walk on a cloud without coming through.
Cats are inquisitive, but hate to admit it.
Even cats grow lonely and anxious.
I got a pet monkey called Charlie Chan.
We've begun to long for the pitter-patter of little feet - so we bought a dog. Well, it's cheaper, and you get more feet.
I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully sheathed. These things, to me, are expressions of love.
Being successful is about professionalism, and chewing gum is unprofessional. Its also a huge pet peeve of mine.
It is a pet peeve of mine when people throw around arguments citing 'Fair Use' and yet fail to actually explain what a fair use argument actually is.
The kinds of roles dogs fill can be hard to come by in human relationships. We touch the dog or the pet at whim. There is a lack of self-consciousness and a fluidity to it that is absent from most human relationships. If someone acted that way to you, you'd feel claustrophobic pretty quickly. It's a boundary violation.
I used to have a pet crawfish, so my friend made a mold of its claws and bronzed a key chain for me out of it.
I had a PET scan, and it was cleared. Not one cell of cancer after three rounds of chemo. But I still had seven more just for safety, which was stupid. I should have just worked on therapy.
Who indeed, after pulling off the coloured glasses of prejudice and thrusting out of sight his pet projects, can help seeing the folly of these endeavours to protect men against themselves? A sad population of imbeciles would our schemers fill the world with, could their plans last.
Don't accept your dog's admiration as conclusive evidence that you are wonderful.
Legislators are interested in their pet projects, getting re-elected, and popularity contests.
He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.
Chadron had a water tower, grain elevators, a tanning salon, a video rental store, a small liberal arts college, a Hardee's, a stoplight, and a curling yellow sign in the pet store window that read, 'Hamsters and Tarantulas Featured Today.'
