Thursday 13 - 13 Reasons Dogs are Better Than Women..

So, some of these have been floating around out there for a while, some are my own..

  1. Dogs understand that instincts are better than asking for directions.
  2. Dogs love it when your friends come over.
  3. Dogs think you sing great.
  4. A dogs disposition stays the same all month long.
  5. If a dog is good looking, other dogs don’t hate it.
  6. Dogs don’t need $120 jeans.
  7. The later you are, the more excited your dog is to see you.
  8. You never have to deal with a dogs’ parents.
  9. Dogs don’t criticize.
  10. Dogs don’t ever ask for foot rubs, or back rubs, or anything..
  11. A dog never expects gifts on Valentine’s Day, Christmas or birthdays.
  12. Dogs don’t rely on magazine articles to guide their lives.
  13. Dogs can’t talk.

    Reminds me of the infamous list that floated around some years ago concerning cucumbers . . . but I’m not going there. :-)

    Too funny! and JHS I seem to recall that list. But I won’t go there either. :P

    dude, i dont know what your dog is like, but my dog expects gifts. whenever we go to the pet store he picks out a new toy he wants. and after he has carried it around the store and slobbered on it, i have to buy it. smart dog. he also expects a party for his birthday complete with cheeseburgers and ice cream sundaes. i think my dog might be spoiled….

  • Ryan // Feb 8, 2007 at 11:05 am

    JHS & Yoshi - I will not go there either! :]

    MK - yes, your dog is spoiled.. lol

    Good one there! You must be trying to alienate all the women who read. Have you heard?– WHY CATS ARE BETTER THAN MEN :)

  • Ryan // Feb 8, 2007 at 12:41 pm

    Now I would NEVER try to alienate the great women that visit the blog here…

    Just having a bit of fun today!!

  • Claire // Feb 8, 2007 at 12:46 pm

    Lol! you are going to get some knickers in a twist today Ryan! are you enlightened on all things olbas now?

  • Ryan // Feb 8, 2007 at 12:51 pm

    I’m always getting peoples knickers in a twist…

    And thank you for the clarification on Olbas.. Was not familiar. The little nose characters are kinda freaking me out though.. :)

  • Claire // Feb 8, 2007 at 1:23 pm

    lol, glad you knew what knickers are!

    Yes the nose things are freaky, but the stuff does work!

  • Lisa (qtpies7) // Feb 8, 2007 at 1:37 pm

    Funny! But I think my hubby would say I am more fun than his dog, despite the monthly meanness, and the constant talking, lol.

  • Tami Young // Feb 8, 2007 at 2:43 pm

    I think you just haven’t met the right woman yet… and I think you’re missing one very important thing that women can do that dogs can’t… unless you’re really twisted. Anyways… funny nonetheless!

  • Gewels // Feb 8, 2007 at 2:56 pm

    I don’t know you- but I take it you’re not married. Or, perhaps you’re a dog with opposable thumbs and have figured out the keyboard. And they say dogs can be as dumb as men- Hah!

  • Peg // Feb 8, 2007 at 3:05 pm

    Thanks for popping in on my TT…I had to laugh at your list. I don’t think I could agree more with some of them, and I’m a woman!

    Your photography is beautiful…I’m enjoying your blog, thanks!

  • Ryan // Feb 8, 2007 at 3:13 pm

    Hey Gewels, I hope you realize this was posted out of pure fun.. And yes, dogs can be as dumb as men, but rarely!

    Peg, I’m glad you enjoyed the list. Thank you also for the kind words about my photography. Always nice to hear. :)

  • Katie // Feb 8, 2007 at 4:15 pm

    I wouldn’t say brave, I’d say ballsy Ryan!!! I got a good laugh out of the list though. BUT I think men would be lonely if we all suddenly stopped talking, we have many things to say yes…but some of which you would miss hearing if it stopped! haha

  • Ryan // Feb 8, 2007 at 4:22 pm

    Ok, so I’m a bit Ballsy.. So shoot me..

    Hey, that reminds me of one more thing that makes dogs better than women..

    When a dog gets old and snaps at you a lot, you have have it put to sleep!!!!!

    AAAHAHAAHAAA…

    Gosh I crack myself up! :)

    Yes, life would certainly be a bit boring without women..

    All in good humor of course!

  • Katie // Feb 8, 2007 at 7:44 pm

    haha allll in good humor sure sure…although I’d be willing to bet if that adorable dog of yours got snippy towards the end of his life you wouldn’t mind (same thing with a woman you loved). You don’t fool me Ryan!!

    On a serious note…thank you so much for your comment, it almost made me well up a bit. You made my night…seriously. Thanks for reading and relating, it means the world to me. Have a wonderful night!! :)

  • Helena // Feb 8, 2007 at 10:38 pm

    LMAO on all the comments beside the post. Ryan what kind of dog do you have? Lisa- I’d love to hear why cat’s are better than men. And Ryan which comments are your own–hummm?

  • Ryan // Feb 8, 2007 at 11:08 pm

    of course Katie, the pleasure is mine.. and you are right, i don’t think i really would mind if he got a little snippy.. :]

  • Jill // Feb 10, 2007 at 10:04 pm

    ARe you a little bitter about la gente féminine???
    To makes things clear, I don’t even own a peace of clothing that cost me over 100$!
    Don’t put us all in the same bucket, and don’t forget we could say the same thing about you men!!

  • Ryan // Feb 11, 2007 at 4:02 am

    Oh come on Jill!!! All in good fun. And yes, I’m sure much worse could be said for men.. and I’ll be the first to admit it. :)

  • tnchick // Feb 13, 2007 at 1:11 am

    LOL 13 reasons cats are better than men…. Nah, I’ll spare you.

    Next week let’s see 13 reasons women are better than dogs, OK?

  • Ryan // Feb 13, 2007 at 1:15 am

    Alright! Just for you.. I better start working on my list right now… May take a while! Ahaahaa..

  • Thursday 13 - 13 Reasons Women are Better Than Dogs.. | Ryan’s Calamity // Feb 15, 2007 at 10:47 am

    […] Alright, you asked for it.. Last week’s Thursday Thirteen we covered 13 reasons dogs are better than women.. I don’t know what I was thinking, as 91% of my readers are women!!! Due to the backlash from many of my readers, and due to the request of tnchick, I have compiled 13 reasons Women are better than Dogs… 1. Last time my dog made dinner, it was not very good. 2. Most Women will typically leave the room to fart. 3. Dogs do not have opposable thumbs with which to give back rubs. 4. A woman does not usually create a huge mess by shaking off after getting out of the shower. 5. Most women will at least ask first before eating food off your plate. 6. Women look good wearing sweaters. 7. It is socially acceptable to have sex with a woman. 8. Although they only have 2, a woman’s breasts are far more interesting. […]
