My campaign is about getting pets to be more active, and exercise with your animal is a great way for people to exercise. When you’re out with your pet, it becomes fun. You don’t think of it as a chore. For me, taking my dog out for a walk is very relaxing.
I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.
Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.
I really want a pet, and I really love animals.
Many cats are the death of the mouse.
Definitely, when I have a place and I’m going to be there for any significant amount of time, I want to have dogs. I like a pet you can have some fun with and who does everything you do.
If you’re trying to cut down the distance travelled from the farm to your plate, it makes sense to do the same for your pet. If we all shifted our bias towards sustainable pet food, we would be helping more than just our faithful friends.
People who keep dogs are cowards who haven’t got the guts to bite people themselves.
Don’t buy furs: that’s No. 1. You can start with that. Then spay and neuter your pets. We destroy millions of them a year. Go to an animal shelter for a cat or dog. And read a book about how to care properly for your particular pet.
A kitten is chiefly remarkable for rushing about like mad at nothing whatever, and generally stopping before it gets there.
A pet store is a celebration of dogs’ existence and an explosion of options. About cats, a pet store seems to say, ‘Here, we couldn’t think of anything else.’ Cats are the Hanukkah of the animal world in this way. They are feted quietly and happily by a minority, but there’s only so much hoopla applicable to them.
In ancient times cats were worshipped as gods; they have not forgotten this.
I have a lot of plants and fish and a pet lizard and Venus flytraps. I have a whole ecosystem in my room, like a running waterfall and different lights and sensors set on digital timers.
I’m always gonna do my own thing. I wanna be something – whether I’m 19 years old working at a pet store, or I’m 19 years old with a No. 1 record – I wanna be the biggest I can be to my crowd, no matter what my crowd is.
I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully sheathed. These things, to me, are expressions of love.
I have never been a pet lover or really craved the idea of having dogs.
I am so honest that at times people get offended by what I say. In our industry, truth is not really appreciated. I love to be of my own. I try spending quality time with my family, my two very close friends and my pet Liam.
The dog is the god of frolic.
My biggest pet peeve is rushing.
Some dog I got too. We call him Egypt. Because in every room he leaves a pyramid.
I have a Lab, it’s fun to hang out and hike with the dog, people come up to him, and pet him, it’s fun.
I have a pet peeve about bands that don’t play their hits. I think it’s kind of selfish.
Ever consider what pets must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul – chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we’re the greatest hunters on earth!
I saw myself as a teacher’s pet but with a little of Ed Haskell mixed in. I was the teacher’s pet, but that didn’t mean that I was trying to pull one over.
If you are a dog and your owner suggests that you wear a sweater suggest that he wear a tail.
A pet around a small child teaches them responsibility and passion.
If a dog will not come to you after having looked you in the face, you should go home and examine your conscience.
A happy arrangement: many people prefer cats to other people, and many cats prefer people to other cats.
We all have our pet things that we like to get religious about.
I was very short. Everybody else was two years older in my class, and I had curly hair and was teacher’s pet.
My parents were very permissive when it came to animals. As long as we earned the money to buy them and built whatever structure it was they were going to live in, we could have any kind of pet we wanted. They would have let us have a rhinoceros if we could have afforded it.
A move to a different town or school gives us new places to explore, new people to meet; a lost pet means we have to organize a careful search; baby-sitting requires looking out for dangers a young child can’t foresee; a car crash or fire demands that we get help immediately.
My roommate got a pet elephant. Then it got lost. It’s in the apartment somewhere.
I love animals. I just don’t want to have a pet. That’s OK, right? I would take a dog over a cat, at least to interact with you. I feel like cats just stare you down all the time. Cats have, like, bad attitudes.
You can get too bogged down in technology and you can sort of forget what it is you were trying to do. And with the Pet Shop Boys it’s primarily about the songs, it’s about song writing.
I started out in 1989 doing open mic nights. The first 10 years, I was literally all about I’m going to be a star. I want leather pants, I want a kangaroo, I want to be on ‘MTV Cribs,’ I want to go to the mall with a pet monkey and I want everyone to go, ‘Wow, that guy’s huge, he’s successful.’
To his dog, every man is Napoleon; hence the constant popularity of dogs.
Time spent with cats is never wasted.
There are things that I invented – the creaky geriatric robot that is always grumpy, for example, or the little wheelie guy, he’s not in the Hasbro lore. But kids love that stuff – this little guy as a pet on a chain. They gravitate towards it.
Animals are reliable, many full of love, true in their affections, predictable in their actions, grateful and loyal. Difficult standards for people to live up to.
Cat: a pygmy lion who loves mice, hates dogs, and patronizes human beings.
All writers have their own pet commandments.
My little dog, he did not get ill. It is so funny that people get ill on a boat and dogs do not.
My college friends call me Karu, which is the worst. Only in our country can we make a short form for a short name. But otherwise, I’ve never had a pet name all my life. But now, in official meetings, someone will call me KJo. And I’ll judge that person in my head. Just call me Karan.
We long for an affection altogether ignorant of our faults. Heaven has accorded this to us in the uncritical canine attachment.
My mother and dad were big animal lovers, too. I just don’t know how I would have lived without animals around me. I’m fascinated by them – both domestic pets and the wild community. They just are the most interesting things in the world to me, and it’s made such a difference in my lifetime.
I had been told that the training procedure with cats was difficult. It’s not. Mine had me trained in two days.
Where I go, rap goes. Rap is like my dog; it’s like my little pet. And where I go, I lead my little pet with me.
Owners need to know, you can’t play ball in this heat with your pet.
Every time I decide I want a child I get another pet. I have 3 dogs, 13 birds and 3 horses, what does that tell you?
A pet can be a girl’s best friend.
We used to have quirky weird bands that made dance music like the Pet Shop Boys and Depeche Mode and I think people have still got an appetite for that type of music-melody and darkness.
I have a lot of trouble understanding how people see me as a celebrity. I work 14 hours a day, and then I just want to talk to my family, see the people I love, pet my dog, and go to bed. I’m not looking to be best friends with or emulate a celebrity.
Because I travel so much, my biggest pet peeve is dealing with travelers – the travelers who can’t figure things out. My pet peeve is people who just have no idea how to travel.
I started keeping track of my pet peeves and so far have counted over 160… but to pick one: muffins. They’re imposters. They think they’re breakfast food, but really, they are just terrible cupcakes.
I kind of imagine myself at eighty, a cat lady.
It doesn’t work if the bad guys kill his mother’s uncle’s friend’s neighbor’s pet dog. You’ve got to make the stakes high.
I’ve always been mad about cats.
Pet me, touch me, love me, that’s what I get when I perform. That’s when I’m really getting what I want.
I have a real pet peeve for women who play damaged characters but don’t look damaged.
There are people all over the world who like to write fan letters in the voice of their pet: ‘Hello, my name is Fifi and I’m a labrador and I think you’re great. Paw paw!’
It might seem strange to feast on Guinea pig, but Ecuadorians love to eat cuy. Personally, I think it’s a phenomenal alternative to pork or chicken. High in protein, low in fat, cheap and easy to raise. Oh, and cuy tastes great, much like roast pig. You might call it a pet, but I prefer to call it dinner.
My little dog – a heartbeat at my feet.
My dream pet? I like a couple of them, man: monkey, I love dogs. See, tigers, I don’t know – I can’t be playing with something like that. A monkey, I can handle it. A dog, yeah; I would get a monkey.
I’m such an impulse buyer. I once went into a pet store for dog food and left with a fish tank and five fish. And yes, of course I forgot to buy dog food.
