When I was 16... I worked in a pet store. And they fired me because... they had three snakes in there, and one day I braided them.
I guess I'm a dog person, so the canids have a special power for me. And yet wolves are everything our own pet pooches are not; untameable, primal, doing all they can to avoid people and wandering the wildest corners of our globe.
I would love to own a dog, but somehow a dog is just not me. I've always had the distinct impression that they are less like a pet and more like another child.
When it comes to the great either/or of pet ownership, I am definitely a cat person.
Dogs really are perfect soldiers. They are brave and smart; they can smell through walls, see in the dark, and eat Army rations without complaint.
Even in a culture where people are well meaning, there are sometimes 'microaggressions.' People who will just cut you off. You'll be talking, and someone will interrupt you. That's become a big pet peeve of mine.
Having a pet spayed or neutered actually extends its lifespan by a few years and reduces any aggressive traits or tendencies.
Being successful is about professionalism, and chewing gum is unprofessional. Its also a huge pet peeve of mine.
I had a Super Beetle that I restored and painted deep purple in honor of Jimi Hendrix that was stolen. After that, I got a Ford Falcon that had no windshield wipers, so whenever it rained - which, thankfully, in L.A. it doesn't do very much - I'd have to lean out my driver's side window like 'Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.'
I like animals because they are not consciously cruel and don't betray each other.
That's one of my pet peeves, that big guys apparently don't have an I.Q. above 50 in the eyes of audiences and producers.
I liked animals better than people. That's one of the reasons I wanted to be a vet - then I found out that every pet had a person that owned 'em.
Having an animal that you fix, knowing that you saved its life or you saved a pet - Like on a dog, these little kids will come, and their dog is just ready to die, and you do something, and they leave happy. The kids are happy, and the little puppy is licking your hand. Those are kind of neat feelings.
In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.
The cat is a dilettante in fur.
We all know the stories about the Human Rights Act... about the illegal immigrant who cannot be deported because, and I am not making this up, he had a pet cat.
Why does a writer labor over nuance and context if it won't be respected, if a critic insists on ignoring the writing at hand in favor of a more convenient analysis of his or her own particular pet peeves and straw men?
I consciously learned and performed my race like a teacher's pet in an advanced placement course on black masculinity.
Many who have spent a lifetime in it can tell us less of love than the child that lost a dog yesterday.
I'm a dog person, but I don't have a pet.
I hate when people don't keep their word or they are late. Tardiness is a big pet peeve of mine.
I really liked the snake that breaks out of the cage in the beginning of the movie. I saw it in real life, and it was really cool. Really big and fat. The owls are cool as well, but you can't really pet them.
Pet lovers know that animals sometimes understand us better than we do, and the annals of human sin and desire provide plenty of stories to drive the point home.
I do have the most adorable little Chihuahua mix. I adopted him about 3 1/2 years ago from Much Love pet adoption, and he has been the love of my life ever since. His name is Beau, or as my sister and I like to call him ' mushy mush' because he truly is just a pile of loving mush that just melts in your arms.
I really love animals. My cat is my little soul mate. He's not just a cat, he's my friend.
I was extremely close to my dad. I think all daughters are very, very close. But I'm the youngest in the family and I think I was my father's pet. So I was the closest to my dad.
I've always been mad about cats.
Maybe I was unpopular a bit because I was a teacher's pet. But even the teachers complained about me. They would say to my parents, 'For every one question any pupil asks, Walter asks 10.'
I don't have pet peeves; I have whole kennels of irritation.
I am an enthusiast, but not a crank in the sense that I have some pet theories as to the proper construction of a flying machine. I wish to avail myself of all that is already known and then, if possible, add my mite to help on the future worker who will attain final success.
I was a dog in a past life. Really. I'll be walking down the street and dogs will do a sort of double take. Like, Hey, I know him.
Like all pure creatures, cats are practical.
The cat does not offer services. The cat offers itself. Of course he wants care and shelter. You don't buy love for nothing.
I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.
The clever cat eats cheese and breathes down rat holes with baited breath.
Cats know how to obtain food without labor, shelter without confinement, and love without penalties.
I could probably give you a list of a dozen pet peeves I have about my own physicality and why I couldn't get a second date.
One of our biggest pet peeves is listening to bands that use harmony guitars for the sake of it. If you can't figure out how do something different than Maiden, UFO, or even Boston, then what's the point?
I have realized that when you rescue your pet from a shelter, it is the most amazing feeling in the world how this animal changes your life by giving it a better one.
I used to have this little mouse. I buy birds from the pet store and I let them go.
