Being born as a dog is a reward given in the bardo to only the purest souls. It’s like a vacation from thousands of years of asceticism.

This seems accurate. Cats by the penny, cats by the pound, cats by the barrel and the bucket and the hogshead (that's a 55 gallon barrel for you uneducated folks, they used to ship sugar and molasses and cats in them according to my reading)

as long as you can take care of both of them, it is perfectly reasonable to have both a dog and a cat

I get having a favorite between cats or dogs, because I do too, but both are cool and disparaging the other one is some heinous poo poo especially when it's directed at dogs because they're obviously better and they're all such good boys and girls

I do actually have a dog who is really well cared for. I kinda prefer the cats, they're easier to pick up.

I only like cats that live outside and show up once a week on my porch to be petted and then they leave. I like almost all dogs. The only bad ones are the ones with bad owners that let them yip at everybody.

Time to dogs is unknowable. The concept of a human clock is foreign to a dog because dogs experience time differently than we do.


Clocks are not only unknown to dogs but a completely unfamiliar concept much like an advanced piece of technology used by an alien race would be to us. See my other post about this topic in the " How can people stand to have a Quartz clock on their wall?" thread.

Is that why dogs experience time much faster than the rest of us? I.E., one regular year for us is equivalent to 7 dog years?

Seems false. Dogs know when it's time to sleep and when it's time to eat.

I think the lesson from all of this is that we'd all be happier if we don't put so much emphasis on time.

When I travel for work my dog waits by the door everyday at 5:05 PM because that’s when I’m supposed to be home. We do have a couple of digital clocks in the kitchen though, maybe he’s reading those?

I am a ghost




My dog wakes up at 5:15am every day to piss, eat breakfast and then poo poo (always in that order), then goes back to sleep until 1:30pm. He's flexible about dinner, but at 7pm, he wants to play and run around, and at 8:30pm, he wants to take a piss and then go bed for the night.

He absolutely can tell time, and it's freaky.

A cool thing I learned recently is that if you oscillate two dogs at the same frequency they will cancel each other out. It looks cool as hell

For when lonely nights turn bonely
Dogs reproduce by budding. Do not let your dogs get wet after midnight. A dog can unhinge its jaws to swallow prey larger than its head. In hot or cold weather dogs can enter a state of torpor where they lose track of time and pant continuously to cool down or warm up. Physicists in the 1800s studied dogs to unlock the secrets of thermodynamics.

I mean... yeah, my dog sometimes starts rubbing his bare rear end in a top hat against the carpet, and I just yell, "No!' at him. But if a man did that, I'd probably murder him or at the very least never let him into my house again.

you joke but if you ever hear a bunch of hounds baying in the woods what you're hearing is an ad-hoc network where each dog and the hunter knows the location and rabbit-status of every dog present at every moment. that's the sound of a dog hivemind
