Jimmy Fallon Asked People Why Are They Single, And The Answers Will Make You Laugh, Then Cry (New Pics)

My godfather had an adorable black retriver that was very affectionate. He used to say that if someone would try to burlge their house, she would probably help hoping to be pet. One day, a boy of the family took her for a walk came back laughing. A man just told him that he was thirsty and that he wanted to drink the boy pee (no comment). The kid was 9 or 10 yo, didn't understand, just thought it was a pee poo joke but was very concerned that the dog growled and scared the man. The good girl wasn't as naive as we thought

The dog knew.

Yes, YES, an edit button!

YES AN EDIT BUTTON!!! FFS WHO DOESNT HAVE THAT!

what about mean children? their laughter can be pretty cruel

No, it's a purely historical reason. Stop polishing your trauma and displaying it like some trophy. You're not awful, but you're not doing anything to deal with it either. If you don't want to deal with it , fine, but don't think it gives you a really good excuse to hate the one species of animal that does more for humankind than any other.

Again, that was ONE dog. If someone who wore a hat attacked you, does that mean you should hate all other people who wear hats. That’s just as ridiculous. MOST dogs are friendly and great companions to have. Cats are great too, but they bite more often than dogs.

Terra. Yes, it is in dogs DNA to have sharp teeth & a tail. They’re NOT wild animals. Domesticated for thousands of years. Dogs trained properly don’t cause harm, just as children raised properly don’t. Both can be damaged & in humans there are psychopaths. Perhaps we should be scared of all humans as we were wild once & can kill. The DNA argument is as daft as the 'hard-wired' argument. Hard-wired to breathe, blink - things the body HAS to do or become injured/die. People say we're hard-wired to look after babies when many poor mums & dads are clueless. That's important software that’s installed by parents, society. Yes, most people would pick up a crying baby but we are all capable of ignoring if needed. Even if it's extremely tough. Proof that the hard-wired view is wrong. Hard-wired = literally impossible to stop yourself no matter what.

Not all dogs - only the ones with bad owners do the things on that list. Cats aren't so much as independent as don't give a f**k.

Cats carry more harmful bacteria in their mouths and on their claws than a dog does. They spread that bacteria all over their bodies when washing with their SPIT. A dog brushed daily and washed regularly (at home!) never smells although the oil in their coats does a very good job of keeping their coats clean and healthy. Most dogs don't eat furniture or mess inside unless untrained by what must be a useless owner. Dogs can take care of themselves - plenty of homeless dogs do in countries that don't have a system for taking them off the streets.

I don't hate cats. Grew up with them. They are a problem where I live as there are so many. Plus cats really aren't cleaner or quieter. They yowl at night and mess everywhere yet no owner is behind them picking it up. I get so much cat mess in my garden. I have to pick that up from four or five different cats that I have seen use it as their personal loo. My dogs don't seem to be enough to put them off. I don't mind picking up my dogs mess as it is my choice to have them. I am fed up with the cat poo though. Oh and the parts of dead birds that I've had to clear up after a cat was hunting in my garden - that was revolting.

Take them out to bathe them? I just put mine on the tub. One goes right in, begrudgingly, when I tell him to. As for cats, mine puke in the house, and kick litter out if the box and as for dignity and being quiet, my cats are just as noisy as the dogs. My old man cat screams for attention, food, to have his litter box cleaned, to stop petting the other cat, or the dogs, the whole nine yards. The way he sounds, sounds like I am torturing him.

In the UK cats are killing our native songbirds to a dangerously low level thanks to there being too many of them and their ability to hunt for their food. They cause damage to cars when they decide to sleep on the bonnet, c**p everywhere eg my garden and of course no-one picks THAT up (don't start with the burying it nonsense - if any of them do it it's half-hearted and doesn't work). They fight/shag loudly at night and wake everyone up. Cat scratches and bites usually become infected as their mouths and claws are teeming with bacteria (dogs have WAY less). I like cats - but that is a list of some things that make them a bloody pain.

My dog has never eaten any of the furniture in the house. She only barks to let me know somebody has come over. She hasn't pooped on the carpet since she was a few weeks old, and then it was our fault. Grooming Lucy isn't that bad, she's a medium sized dog and it only takes ten minutes once or twice a week. More over, she keeps me honest in going for walks, and is more than happy to walk with me. Also, in my general experience, cat owners who tell me they don't need to bathe their cats... probably have their nostrils burnt out, because they *do* smell. They also destroy furniture in their own ways, and same for the carpet. Further, letting your cat hunt destroys the local song-bird population, whereas, the most Lucy has ever done to a bird is to keep the geese off the lawn. (she's an aussie shepherd, and we gave her some basic training as a herd-dog, as a way to control those instincts.)

I understand. I love cats too, even though they´re not as friendly as dogs... Mmm maybe "friendly" is not the word bc cats love cuddles too... anyway, each person chooses the best company for them, I love animals and I´d be so happy living with dogs, cats, horses, etc. :) I

Yeah, but there it that difference: You don't like them, not hate...

Thanks danielw - will try them!

for the record, I've found racquet balls (the usually-blue rubber balls next to the tennis balls) to last longer, and on hard surfaces bounce much more entertainingly.
