Pretty sad how this behaviour is normalized: "nag until you get your way" is dysfunctional behaviour

Certain dogs have uses, like for shepherding sheeps. Most don't, though

Companionship is a major use.

I keep mine as emergency rations. That's why I have weiner dogs

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 1 points 1 hour ago

You sly dog.

Wife bad 😂😂😂

No thanks. We prefer free time and not being slaves to other beings' needs. Also we got more interesting hobbies that can surely take that extra cash 😁

Basically me and my wife and how “we” now own two cats.

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 22 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

That's how I ended up with 2 cats, 2 dogs, 2 kids and 2 live-in in-laws.

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 8 points 10 hours ago (2 children)

How much work are the in-laws?

[–] assassinatedbyCIA@lemmy.world 10 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

As long as you change their litter and feed them then it’s not too bad.

[–] whaleross@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

What to do when they keep barking at the neighbours?

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 hours ago

You could have them castrated, that seems to do wonders.

[–] BudgetBandit@sh.itjust.works 4 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

And let me guess - the cats are more attached to you than to her?

[–] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 3 points 6 hours ago

Oh no, they like her way more.

I'm currently on phase 2 of her plan with my wife, but I'm meeting limited success. Does it only work once?

Not even for me, I like cats and some of them even tolerate me. My wife is super allergic though. Like throat closing and everything.
