the difference from an internet date was that I met him at a pub and to me that is a huge difference than a date from the net,if he would have been from the net I wouldnt have been as shocked as I was that time.So I must have cared not now do,but he got some mins out of my life that he didnt deserve.

well this is fairly simple i should think.....i wouldn't date anyone who didn't like pets...but if it's a first date....and you really don't know the guy we would obviously not get along and i would politely say "hit the hay sir!" lmao! Because for those of you who have never had a strong relationship and love for a pet won't understand but they become part of your family but on the other note you don't like unruly kids...so why would you like unruly dogs....work with your dog so you and the rest of society are happy Atch! that is what one of my training books say lol for i am a dog trainer but truly they become part of your family and since they where there first..it only makes since that they are in your foremost thoughts!

I'm not going to sit and listen to a lady complain about what she's not happy with about the way I am or the way I do things or my pet. I used to have a dog. Although my dog was trained, some people actually thought that my dog would be treated like a second class citizen because they didn't like pets. My response back then was: YOU DON'T LIKE MY PET, THERE'S NOBODY HOLDING YOU PRISONER!!!

If he didn't like the way your dogs behaved, he needed to kick rocks, unless you asked for his help in training them.

What breed are you into and is the sex better?

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

HA! CONTROL FREAK ALERT! Rude dude, kick 'm to the curb.

They don't like my cats, they won't like me. We're a lot alike. Seriously, I work a lot with odd animals, it's not every one's cup of tea to be handed a wallaby to hold while I go warm up the bottle. I can't imagine any one who didn't like animals WANTING to date me.

After my ex left and I let my big cat sleep with me again, I noticed while he IS a bedhog, he doesn't snore. He does hog the blankets though. Never cheats on me either.

you love dogs , but won't date a man that acts like one. good for you . to some people pets are a member of the family. so find a man that likes dogs and you will be happy. besides dogs are great judges of good people.

Im sorry but theres nothing worse then an out of control pet.. mine or yours.. I dated a gal once who invited me over for dinner, her spaniel jumped up and ate off my plate.. I was beside myself and all she did was giggle.. then he proceeded to deep throat me when I leaned over to pet him... needless to say pets are a deal breaker.. I wouldnt stay in a situation with a woman who couldnt get a grip of dear pooch... only good dog is an obedient dog... course I have large dogs and when they dont listen, things around the house get broken...

If I have guests that take offense to my little dog, they leave quickly, with or without a show in their ass.

My dog lives here. They are visiting.

I don't know, honey..... after Fatal Attraction......

I used to collect rabbit's feet, until I saw a bunch of rabbits on crutches.....

If people don't understand the enrichment a pet brings to life, they are likely lacking the compassion I am looking for.

As I have said repeatedly in the many threads that addressed this subject, my dog will be here long after the woman has come and gone.

Yeah, Eddie, a lot of people think I'm nuts for taking my oldest cat (13 now) for chemo treatments for cancer... y'know, I've had him since he was a kitten, 13 years now... he's outlasted every GF including the longest (5 years), so I think he's deserving of my care and as long a life as I can get him. Mind you, reality is I'd have stuck around with any woman through the same, if it came to it...

The next door neighbor of one of my ex's (the 5yr one, actually) got cancer, her hubby at the time (now *EX*) had gotten cruise tickets for them to one of the islands... she gets cancer and is going for chemo, what does he do? Leaves her to go on the cruise with some young babe from work... and amazingly, couldn't understand why she divorced him after that! Meanwhile, her Shepard "Sarge" was by her side 24/7... sometimes I think humankind could learn a lot about love & devotion from their pets...

I wouldn't date someone who didn't like my dog. I don' t care if they like the cat or not. She has a cat door and no one sees her except me...no cat box either.

On the other hand, I've met people who have dogs that are out of control. I wouldn't date them either. If you can't control your dog well enough to stop incessant barking/yipping, nipping, any form of aggression...then I'm not interested. So I see both sides. My dog is no angel. But I am Alpha in the house.

If it's just that the person wants attention then I would (in that case) work it out. Some do get jealous of pets, and that might be what happened in your case.

First my dog, then my kid, then me! Nope, not for me. My dog is part of my family, just like one of the kids. Don't make mama bear mad by talkin' smack about her cubs, just keep your mouth shut, and say goodnight!

Just because a dog has more antibodies in it's mouth doesn't make it more clean. Animals are actually filthy stinky creatures who do things that they shouldn't because they are animals. I've seen far too many animals attack for no good reason. You can say they sensed this or that, but that's bull. Animals are animals. You can blame it on the owner all you want, but animals run on instinct and do what they decide to do in a moment. Animals should be kept out of the house too because they cause allergies to develop in many others. Exposure is a problem.

Anyone who loves their pets more than they respect another human being should not have pets. In fact... we can deal with the over abundance of them by figuring out how to cook them. There'd be a lot less hunger in this country if we could do that. What??? You got a problem with that don't ya? Well, you eat cows, chickens, pigs, fish, and a host of other things... isn't that the same thing?

.....says an animal...

So? Keep em out of your house then. It's none of your business what anyone else "should" be doing.

I'm off to snuggle with the filthy, stinky creature for awhile. I probably won't notice the stench since she and I just got back from running 6 miles. I doubt she'll care about my stench either.

While people move on and relationships often don't work out, pets are with us and love there owners regardless for years to come.

To answer your question.

My cat is a part of me. I love my cat very much. If someone I was trying to date did not like my cat then I would just move on to someone else and realize that they were not the right person for me.

Love me, love my cat.

My dog is pretty well behaved considering he came from rescue when he was 2 1/2, had not been trained at all and is a St Bernard, a breed that is known for stubbornness. I dated a woman once who claimed to the gods gift to dog training. She left in two weeks just about in tears. My dog pisses off professional trainers just for fun. If he decides he's not going to do something, NOTHING will change his mind.

The difference here is that she walked on her own after making such a big deal that her training methods work on all dogs and she has a perfect success record. I had been to 3 other trainers so I pretty much knew she had met her match.
