I've always slightly preferred dogs over cats. I'm so happy we domesticated these furry friends.
I agree!  I love dogs!  What kind of dog do you have?
I've had all sorts of dogs of different shapes, sizes and colors, but right now I own a poodle/chihuahua mix.
That sounds like a fun mixed breed!  Is that breed good for anything practical or just as a companion?
He's just a really good companion, and smart too! I guess I can give thanks for that to the fact that they were the first species to be domesticated and have been bred for things like intelligence.
