Why cats rule over dogs

I have a cat...he's wonderful. His name is Louie and he's fat and snuggly and he poops in a box that I clean about once a week. He doesn't claw my furniture, or chew things. He is just there...as good quite company and to snuggle. Dogs on the other hand are needy and part of me tells me that I need to be afraid of them. I don't hate dogs...I just don't really like them enough to own one myself. I hear so many stories of dogs going totally crazy and chewing off the faces of their owners...owners that they've had for 10 years.
I was reminded of my dislike for dogs this weekend. I went to the Tennessee Association of Craft Artists fair at the big downtown park. I wore sandals because it was such a nice day out and I had Izze in his stroller. There were dogs there...a lot of them. Half of them tried to come up into Izze's stroller and lick him, or chew his face off. Izze didn't like this, it scared him. Then, I looked down to get the rattle that Izze had dropped and I noticed a rather large dog turd on the wheel of his stroller. It would not come off in the grass or anything. I had to use several napkins and wet wipes to get all this shit off of my property. I was pissed. I so wanted to scream and tell people to keep their damn dogs at home. There should never be so many dogs in such a crowded area anyway. What about people who are really afraid of them? Are they supossed to miss out on these events because of the dog lovers. I would like to kick a dog...if I could figure out which dog's crap I had on the stoller...I would have kicked it.
I'm mean, I know...but dogs are dumb.
Cats were the only self domesticated animal...did you know that? They were smart enough to figure out on their own that if they befriended a human, they would get food and love. That's great.
Whew...just had to vent some frustration. This pregnancy has taken me on the emotional rollercoaster of a lifetime. I am way more emotional with this one than with my first. I'm talking about sobbing, weeping saddest ever to total bitch and ruthless in about 60 seconds flat. Its really amazing. Hope it goes away once I get into my 2nd trimester...otherwise I feel really sorry for Jeff. But, alas, I've given him fair warning.

Today sucks!

dogs can be violent, dirty, and annoying. all of this is true. this is also why dingo stays locked in our house and away from public parks. that and she eats babies.

but still, I like dogs.

i'm pretty sure i like all animals. not particularly a snake lover but there was once a ball python i could stand to hold.

there is a strict rule at the dog park that everyone picks up their dog's poo. good rule when at any given time there's like 20 dogs running around.

"I'm talking about sobbing, weeping saddest ever to total bitch and ruthless in about 60 seconds flat"
