No, just sit back smugly and consider how unhinged dog lovers are as pets to their dog's attention seeking! ;)

British humor... was never humorous...
The whole point in having a dog is companionship. If them wanting to be involved in whatever you're doing is a bother, then maybe you need to reconsider having a pet, spouse, children, friends... or you could just get a cat and be a slave to a vile creature that couldn't care less about you as long as you keep the food out of the edges of the bowl and scoop out the liter box.

New corals came in today, and we went and picked up two new wrasse!!! Yes, new wrasse! Woooooo!!!!! Bet you wanna know where the pictures are...

Why cats are better than dogs:

Dogs roll in and eat gross things ie. poop, carcasses, etc.
Dogs need walked and sent outside to go to the bathroom, where they poop on the lawn, and in the winter ours goes right in front of the door.
One thing i dont like about cats is that they sit on the furniture where you want to sit, but a dog could probably do that too
Some dogs are okay. Yours looks decent.

If I was not highly allergic, I would have a cat. Had one growing up. He was indoor/outdoor. Super friendly and playful, never went on the furniture. Would always “ask” to go outside to go to the bathroom (used the litter box maybe 5 times in 18 years). He would come to the door every day when I came home from school to greet me. Never bit or scratched anyone. Only downside was the massive headaches and sneezing attacks I would get. Still, probably the best pet I ever had.

I’m with Turtle on this one.... Had cats as a kid that dispised my very existence and had no issue making it known. The feelings are now mutual.

The day a cat drags a human to safety, saves a family from fire, scares off a burglar or gets between someone and an attacker then maybe I’ll consider them a decent house pet. Still wouldn’t keep one but to each their own.

Maybe I’m just bitter I didn’t get to have a dog growing up or that most days I prefer my puppy to people ;)

LOL, for some reason as I read this I pictured a burglar in a house and then suddenly, all of the fish and inverts from a reef jumped out and attacked him. Bite! Bite! Pinch! Pinch!

Ok, I'm home, got everyone acclimated, and the two male wrasse are trying to figure out whos the prettiest. The C. lubbocki is showing off purple that he doesn't normally show...

And the new guy, well he's not a Cirrhilabrus... He's a Paracheilinus. Yep a flasher. What kind of flasher you ask?....

When he flashes... geez the colors in that fish. Red, yellow, orange, blue, purple... its like a rainbow in a fish.

But wait, Turtle. Didn't we say we got two new wrasse?

Ok, yes. We got two. This was supposed to be a C. isosceles, but I had my doubts. Its confirmed by evolved... I give you Cf. Pylei, female. Still looking for an isosceles.

They can be agressive towards tank mates, but currently being a female, its being completely passive. The lubbocki and the mccoskeri are duking it out in a "Cirque du Soleil" battle. No physical contact, just flashes. Nothing like the bar brawls I'm used to...

This is a good one of the P. mccoskeri flashing. Check out that color.

Alright, we got coral too. The JF Project X is stunningly green with a red base. Its every bit as awesome as I imagined. I asked for some birds nest as well, this is what he sent with a one week guarantee since he cut it yesterday. It came in a bag loose with two pieces. I glued it to the plugs and stuck it om the rack.

Are you trying to motivate me to get rid of my 6-line and get some real wrasses? It may work!
