Dexter's Rant!!!

[Dexter Morgan]

  I gotta blow off some steam.....

Why is it that people who don't like animals always have to say cruel things about animals??? OK.... us animal lovers get the fact that you don't like animals but STFU!!! We don't wanna hear it!!! Just because you don't like animals doesn't mean there is anything wrong with those of us who do!!! Just because you don't like animals doesn't give you a right to abuse,  torture, and kill them for fun!!! People who do shit like that make me sooooo mad. Here's a little story....

Today, at work I was telling a coworker about a little kitten I found the other day. Several other coworkers chimed in with their unsolicited opinion, and it lit my fuse!!! Here's the conversation that ensued.... please note... Dexter is a very laid back person with a hair trigger temper, when it comes to the subject of my furry companions 

Dex says to Joe..."I found the cutest little kitten in my driveway."
Travis butts in... "You should have run over it... I hate cats."

Dex's fuse has been lit...

Dex.. "Not in my driveway you don't!!!" very bitchy tone 
Karen... 'I've never understood why people who don't have children consider their pets as children. They don't have nearly the life expectancy as a human,"
Dex..... 

Dex... "Because they "are" our children!!! I spend every penny I make on my cats!!! Where else would I spend all of my money???I've got nothing else more important than my cats, to spend all of my money on!!!" I was being a real bitch when I said that LMAO!!! Needless to say.... it dropped like a sack of taters LMAO!!!

I understand every person has a right to their opinion... but when it comes to cats... where I'm concerned... shut it... I don't want to hear it.
There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with loving your pets, and having compassion for animals!!!! People who don't like animals ,can't love animals, because they haven't got a heart.

you tell em Dex!!!!  Us cat lovers need to stick together.
My little kitty that had the sore eye is all healed up and playing like there is no tomorrow.  I love my kitties....all 10 of them!!!!

My cats are a huge part of my life. For some reason people think there is something wrong with people who have multiple cats. I get looks of scorn when I push my cartload of pet food through Walmart every week. Hey... I work hard for my money, and I'll buy whatever the hell I please. The strays didn't ask to be born. The shelters are over crowded ,and they won't take any more strays. We can't let them starve fer cryin' out loud. I'd rather spend my money on cats, than booze, drugs or cigarettes.

  Dex says to Joe..."I found the cutest little kitten in my driveway."

Dex's correct answer should have been, "Someone should have ran over you, Joe."

I'm right there with you.  Our pets are part of the family, cats and dogs.  It is my obligation, and pleasure to take care of them during their lifetime.

Good response, Mr442

I totally agree. I woulda been offended too. You don't have to justify your love for your pets. I feel the same way about mine and I have children.

Some little boy in the neighborhood said that Benji is ugly in front of me. A lot of not very nice things were on the tip of my tongue, but instead I said, "that's not very nice, how would you feel if someone said that to you" and he said, "he doesn't know what I said because he's just a dumb dog". I said, "whether he knows or not, I don't know, but I know what you've said about him is mean and uncalled for". He rolled his eyes and walked off. He didn't know it, but Lil' Mojo on the other hand was ready to slug  him.

Karen... 'I've never understood why people who don't have children consider their pets as children. They don't have nearly the life expectancy as a human,"

Well I don't understand why people with half a brain try to speak in an intelligent conversation either?  I think they should just grunt and point at things!

Yesterday it happened again. One of our managers has a rambunctious dog. He chewed her glasses up LMAO!!! AGAIN!!!! This is 2 pairs in the last couple of months.  Anywho.... she was telling us about it, and once again we got Travis' unsolicited opinion....

Travis... "you should have used a taser on it" "that kills that noise real quick" "would you like to borrow mine?" That will fix him real good."



Everybody just stood there, and stared at him. There was jaw dropping silence.

Karma is a real bitch.... that night when he walked out in to the parking lot after his shift, the cops were waiting for him. They arrested him for stalking his wife for the hundredth time. Ha ha... bit him in the ass real hard. ROFLMMFAO!!! 

In case anybody wonders... Travis is the one that went to jail after he beat his wife up. There's more about his situation in my job venting thread. I was in total support of him but..... obviously his stint in jail changed him greatly. He's not the same guy I used to work with. He never used to be sooooo cruel. He's horribly bitter and extremely negative. And he's on a lot of dope, and I think he's doing it while he's at work. He wont be returning for a while, his bond is $1,000. He'll still have a job though my boss is very tolerant..... as she should be... considering some of it's her fault. 

[Sandy Eggo]

His wife should use a taser on him, that stops them real quick and maybe he'll stop stalking her.

ROFLMAO!!!!!  That ought to fix him real good. 

[Mr442]

And I know just where you need to aim it at

That will slow him down real good

Some people are just cruel. As in above about the man who wanted to taser the dog..... he also wasn't very kind to his wife.
Also some people who have never owned a pet can"t understand the love we have for them. I know the pets are not my kids but I love them.

My pets are my children. It seems rather sad, that people treat innocent animals, as if their life is less important than any living creature. 

BTW.... Travis is still in jail.

I don't see anything wrong with treating your pets as children. I would be very sad if something happened to one of my cats, but I am afraid old age is about to take one of my cats. He is 22 years old. He was a rescue cat but I think he has had a great life and he deserved it.
Now just to jump back into the fire my little girl really, really wants a dog. I am thinking about a boxer. They are big, but kinda a gentle couch potato.
My feelings are that now she is 10 and is getting a little farther away from me the dog will help. If I were a child predator and I saw some kids and one had a big dog? Well I may not be afraid of the dog but I wouldn't want the hassle, there would be easier prey.
She will have to take him every place she goes.
Also when she is 16 and (maybe ) gets a car, She will have to drive,  with the dog if possible, so that she doesn't  ever have to go any place that she doesn't want to. I be sittin on my porch, by the crek, with my ole shot gun jest waitin...

Ut-Oh... I think I just got   sorry Dex I didn't mean to high jack your vent.

Almost forgot.. is Travis still in jail because of animal abuse? I am getting old and I forgot and I can't find the post about him.
