I'm a cat person! This is my little pumpkin pie, Thomasina.

Cats. Dogs have no pride. 99% of the animals performing "stupid pet tricks" on David Letterman are dogs.

I have to go with dogs. Their meat texture is more chewy and the flavor stays in the mouth much longer.

I like dogs

mine has a very reliable warning bark.
He woke us up because of someone was trying to steal the alloy wheels off the car.

Dogs. And I'm reporting that horrible picture the Zimmern troll posted.

Dude, that wasn't right.

RodeoSchro said:

You are right. I was tempted, because I can't have dogs on my show. The network says no to dog, cat and monkey. While these animals are eaten in various countries, because of our own culture’s deep-rooted unease with eating this kind of animal, it has been decided not to go there in this show.

But I think you should apologize for calling me a troll.

Dogs all the way. Cats are the devil's work.

AndrewZimmern said:

LMAO, just as soon as you remove that picture.

RodeoSchro said:

Well, I didn't remove it because it still represents the differences of cultures and eating habits. However, I did edit the picture to suit your appetite. I don't want to ruin the experience for you. I hope that this is a compromize you can live with.

AndrewZimmern said:

Nope, sorry. Appreciate the effort but it's not enough.

RodeoSchro said:

I may be mistaken, but I doubt that this is a picture of your dog. That would be, by all means, a crude experience, I have to admit.

AndrewZimmern said:

It's not my dog, but maybe it belonged to a very good friend of mine. Word.

RodeoSchro said:

You have very good friends in China?

Gotta say I love dogs, we have three at the moment, hate cleaning up after them

AndrewZimmern said:

Actually, yes.

RodeoSchro said:

Since I doubt that your friends sold their dog to the local market butcher, I'd say it's a safe shot that this dog isn't that of your friends, especially considering that China has a population of more than one billion people.

AndrewZimmern said:

You never know.

Dogs and Snakes!

I love animals!!! It's people I am not so sure of

RodeoSchro said:

For the record, no one has more respect for animals than I do. Did you know that one of the three earmarks for societal disassociatives is writing passive-aggressive posts to TV show hosts that indicate that the writer sort of misses the point of the show itself?

AndrewZimmern said:

If I ever went to China and saw some local butcher do this to a dog, I'd prolly go over to him, grab his big ole butcher's knife and make mince meat outta that mothafucka. Ain't nobody eatin' dogs on my watch

I am very much a dog person. I'm not very fond of cats. Useless cunts if you ask me...

Anyways, here's my dog, Ella

































KUNG FU ROBOT TIME!

I like house plants, they're quiet and you don't have to clean up after them.

I'm a cat person. I adore kitties. Mine is curled up next to me right now, pissed that the computer is taking up her preferred napping spot.

I love dogs too, but I've found that I have very mixed feelings about actually living with one. The quasi-child-who-never-grows-up thing can get old and annoying. I think they're very cool creatures, though, and I love watching them interact.

I love both...
if had to chose one or the other it would be a dog but I have a soft spot for most all four legged furry animals.

I used to be a dog person..but not so much anymore...I still like 'em but could care less about having one...I've gotten into other pets though...my son has a leopard gecko and it's a cool pet...my lil' girl wants a guinea pig and I love me some guinea pigs, so I think she'll be gettin' one for christmas...my father in law wants to get the kids a small dog...I've asked him not to but he's never listened to me before...

I used have a Alabamian wet-suit-preacher,
but I had to give him up.
My parents ended up taking him to some farm out in the country.

At least,
that's what they told me....

I've never had a pet, but I know without a doubt that I'm a cat person. It's some weird connection that I tend to have with cats that I've never had with any other animals. We used to have lots of strays in the 'hood, and I would feed them KFC and luncheon meat. They would tear it up. Now it's rare to see strays probably due to the infestation of racoons. I do like lizards, and I find snakes intriguing from a distance or at least on tv or behind a glass case. With dogs, I'm more cautious around them, and there are certain breeds that I don't like at all.

My dog went to Puppy Island. I've looked for it on a map but haven't found it yet, but when I do, I'm going to visit Puppy Island and see my dog again.

I can't wait!
