I've had cats and dogs as pets. I prefer DOGS!!!! Cats are too emotional for...always got an attitude with mommy over something. My dog Flash is sooooo cute. He loves when I come home from work...he sits and gives me his paw to "shake" and then he rolls over. He listens when I talk...I guess because he has no choice in the matter...lol!!!! He is just the shiz-nit!!!!
