The funniest part of this is the poster suggesting that dogs are not sentient.
Dogs are sentient.
my dog isn't
Dogs are sentient, except that one
My dog loves chocolate I give him a bit every time I eat it.
Chocolate is poisonous to dogs! They usually love to eat it, but enough will kill them.
Please, for the sake of your dog, check with your vet for details.
Once my dog ate an entire bag of dove chocolate from the pantry when we were out.
I can do that easily.
My cats fave food is onion rings
(Don’t feed your cats onions)
My cat is a vegan.
Yeah well mine’s an alcoholic, so.
Alcoholic cats aren't too bad as long as they stay away from the coke or meth.
One time, I was sleep deprived for days, and I hallucinated gemstones on the ground. I still probably haven't recovered from the brain damage of that sleep deprivation.
So would my youngest cat. This morning, she left a dime that she found somewhere in her food dish. she brought me a quarter the other day too. and, she would enjoy a peanut m&m if she were to find it.
