Not so sure that cat's need a box to do their business indoors. I remember when we had cats they always went outside to the garden - I suspect that litter boxes are for those who do not have regular access to the outside.--BobSpring is sprung! 07:47, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Dogs don't poop in a box. Well, actually, maybe that's not such a great thing. All I know is dog=awesome and cat=sucks. That was the idea anyways. Maybe I shouldn't focus on the dog vs cat thing so much. This is fun! PACODOGwoof, bitches 08:18, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
Lacks scientifick name in lead. Canus familiaris or some such shit - on the carpet, of course. ħumanUser talk:Human 08:28, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Uses for dogs[edit]

I'd go more for dog utility stuff. Guide dogs, dogs finding people lost in the mountains, tracker dogs. They have lots of wonderful abilities.

On the evolution side you could go go for humans and dogs being co-evolved species. It is suggested that we have a suspiciously good ability to understand each other. You should probably say something about wolves as well. Brain 20% larger than a dog's brain for example.--BobSpring is sprung! 09:51, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, Bob, I appreciate your input. Great pic of your dog, too. Definitely going in the article. PACODOGwoof, bitches 03:45, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
BTW what breed is your dog? He(?) looks like a German Shepherd, but I can't tell. Mixed? PACODOGwoof, bitches 03:54, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
She's mostly German shepherd but with some Czechoslovakian Wolf-dog - which is largely German Shepherd anyway. But that slight mixture tends to confuse people. Some people confuse her with a Belgian Shepherd but she's quite distinct from one of them. --BobSpring is sprung! 15:07, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

I'd say[edit]

This is getting close to mainspaceable. maybe move the cat hate lower though? Not delete it, just move it low enough that Susan can't find it on her cellphone without spraining her thumbs. ħumanUser talk:Human 06:01, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm going to add some more stuff above the dogs vs cats section. Give me another day or two to work on it, then I'll move it over to mainspace. Please feel free to add to it while it's in the sandbox if you want. PACODOGwoof, bitches 14:46, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
This New Scientist article had a fun shot at giving a "scientific" analysis of the difference between cats and dogs. I've got a NS subscription and I could send you the full text if you're interested. I'm not entirely convinced about mainspace though.--BobSpring is sprung! 15:01, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
Sure, if you can send me the full text, that would be great. Looks like an interesting read. Thanks. PACODOGwoof, bitches 15:26, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
OK, I've sent it to you. It looks at 11 differences between cats and dogs and decides (semi-humorous manner) which is "better" in each case. But you've got to read the article to find our who they declare is the winner. :-) --BobSpring is sprung! 15:35, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Mainspace or funspace...[edit]

...I'll let you decide (but the answer is mainspace). PACODOGwoof, bitches 02:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

For the sake of comparison, here's a link to your cat article. It is currently located in the mainspace. PACODOGwoof, bitches 04:37, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
