Before anyone thinks I’m a dog hater, because of this comic and the fact that during the entire run of these comics I’ve just had cats, I’m not. I had a dog as a kid, growing up and the reason I don’t have a dog now is that cats take less responsibility than owning a dog does. (looking out the window on those cold winter days, watching someone bundled up, walking a dog, makes me happy that I have a cat). Besides, I’ve never understood this attitude that if you have a dog then you must hate cats and if you have a cat you must hate dogs. Why? I like both.
