‘Best in Show’ legitimized me, and it was a great experience in Vancouver for six weeks with all those dogs!
I think my body was built to eat 68 hot dogs. It’s natural.
I love dogs, but dogs, you have to be in the country with dogs. I cannot walk a dog on the street.
I just get the feeling that if Jesse Helms was in charge of art in America, you’d go into a museum and see nothing but prints of dogs playing cards.
I had disagreements with all my neighbors about my dogs. I had a disagreement with myself about my dogs. They were noisy.
I’m never without my dog. They would be in every corner of the house, and my wife will not allow me to have any more than that. But I have lots of dogs. I love the dogs. I breed them. I always have a puppy coming. And I show dogs. I show German shepherds.
When you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas.
I have a couple of dogs and I live with my partner. We just like to sit and read and I’m generally quite quiet.
People – and dogs – are dying to be trained.
My favourite animals are dogs.
I was pretty entrepreneurial as a kid. I had a lemonade stand. When I was 12, I arbitraged the price of 7-Eleven hot dogs; I’d buy the ones that are pre-wrapped with the bun and then sell them on the beach.
The maximum expression of running dogs is the Iditarod. You enter a state of primitive exaltation, and you never return. You’re never normal again.
Every day, the humane societies execute thousands of dogs who tried all their lives to do their very best by their owners. These dogs are killed not because they are bad but because they are inconvenient. So as we need God more than he needs us, dogs need us more than we need them, and they know it.
I am a big proponent of adopting dogs through shelters and rescue operations. Having dogs in the office might not be right for everyone, but it has certainly worked well for me. My advice to other offices, on the Hill and off, would be to try it out.
My advice to anybody, including myself, is if you’re going through a bad period, and you just can’t see the world’s on your shoulders and no day is a good day, you’re missing the whole point of the experience. And that’s something dogs know from the moment they come bounding up to you as a puppy.
Border collies were trained in Scotland. They have the Scots’ commands in their genes. At the dog trials, the owners wear those three-piece western suits, cowboy boots and 10-gallon hats, but they carry Scots shepherd’s crooks over their arms and talk to their dogs in Scots accents.
I tell my boyfriend that… we should get a ranch so we can just adopt all the dogs that need homes, and they can just run around all day.
From paying off friends’ tax bills to rescuing stray dogs and stuffing £20 notes into the hands of homeless people, I can’t get rid of my money fast enough.
We have always had dogs, so I’ve never known a time in my life where haven’t had a dog. And it is so nice to have something there that is always happy to see you, can always give you love, and is unconditionally loyal. I have always enjoyed having something to take care of, and it prepared me for motherhood.
You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.
I come from a real working class background, and I didn’t know anyone sophisticated – except I saw Edie Sedgewick once at the Art Museum in Philly. She had these black leotards and little black pumps and this big ermine cape and all these white dogs and black sunglasses and black eyes. She was classy!
The day I set foot in Hyderabad, I saw an animal being hit by a vehicle. The city did not have a shelter for the bleeding animal, and I brought it home. In less than a month, our house was home to all kinds of animals – a buffalo with a broken hip, a blind mongoose, goats, dogs, cats.
I like to Instagram my dogs! I also get excited to post behind-the-scenes photos from when I was filming something.
I’ve got great dogs. I’ve got a great family. I mean, I couldn’t be happier.
I know nothing about dogs except that I love them.
A lot of people who don’t have anything collect dogs; it’s kind of a symbol of having something.
When I wrote about media and technology, I had a lot of lonely, even intimate book talks. Since writing about dogs, I have a lot of company at book signings.
I get home from work at six or seven. When I’m busy, I set my alarm for three, get out of bed at quarter past three. I have a cup of tea and read a magazine and take the dogs for a walk up the lane. Go through my text messages and reply to anything that needs it, then get my biking gear on ready to cycle to work.
I don’t trust people who don’t like dogs.
Dogs give us unconditional love.
I’d been virtually doing nothing in the country in 16 years of being a retired lady. Being busy walking my dogs – actually not doing anything very constructive. I made one little solo album in my garage.
When I’m at home, I don’t discuss business. I don’t talk business. I don’t answer the phone. It’s just me, my wife, my children, my dogs. That’s my world.
The wok is one of my favorite things to work with when I’m camping. Outdoor cooking is not just about hot dogs and hamburgers. There are so many styles of food you can make.
You call to a dog and a dog will break its neck to get to you. Dogs just want to please. Call to a cat and its attitude is, ‘What’s in it for me?’
It’s the most prestigious dog show in the country. We love dogs, and we’re having a blast out here.
I find my best writing time is actually 6 A.M., before the detritus of the day – the fish fingers and the school uniform and dogs and bills – have had a chance to clog up my brain. I can usually get 500 words done before 7 A.M. But it is difficult, and the Internet, and social networking, are terrible timesucks.
You read a script and its based on ‘Reservoir Dogs’ and ‘Pulp Fiction’, and it goes right in the bin.
We’ve got eight dogs, a cat, a turtle, kids… yeah we have a lot of dogs. It’s a lot of fur, it’s a lot of poop… and that’s not even counting Robbie. He’s the hairiest most feral animal of all.
I grew up in a house with dogs. We always had dogs. We always had a bunch of dogs, actually.
My dad just decided that he wanted to race sled dogs, and when he did that, he took us out of Wasilla, and we never really went back.
I don’t really trust people who don’t like dogs. We always had dogs on the farm I grew up on near Bolton.
I look at ‘Straw Dogs’ as a very imperfect movie. It’s a little bit slow, and its themes are a little bit murky.
In sailing, I single-hand, and I want to do the Horn. The Horn is the maximum expression of sailing, the way the Iditarod is the maximum expression of running dogs. It’s not to write about it; it’s to experience the maximum thing.
I like to be at home because I just travel so much. I have four dogs, golden retrievers.
Dogs are more of a responsibility than kids – you can send a kid off to their grandparents or a nanny, but with a dog you can’t do that.
There is no greater feeling than hanging out with my dogs, or just walking around the land with our horses. My rescue ranch is is where I feel the most at peace and where I’m reminded of the simple things in life and let the chaos of my crazy work life fade away.
Just have a Sunday where you do nothing. Lay around, cover yourselves in dogs and cats like I like do, and just put on some Netflix. There’s so much value I think in just allowing yourself to be still.
They don’t sell the Nathan’s hot dogs hardly anywhere in the West Coast. So I have to special order them, and I just end up getting Nathan’s to ship them to me.
Some of you guys are going to boo, but I’m going to say it anyway. I don’t like dogs.
Animal hoarding was a dirty secret until hoarders appeared on our TV screens and showed how they are compelled to collect so many dogs, cats or parrots that the animals end up in cages only inches bigger than their own bodies. For life.
I’ve always wanted to work with dogs, so in high school, I worked at the Humane Society for a little while. I honestly think, even today, that would be the other career I would go into. Somehow I would be involved with animals.
We have one cat. I had eight cats and six dogs in Los Angeles.
Animals are certainly more sophisticated than we used to think. And we shouldn’t lump together animals as a group. Crows and chimps and dogs are all highly intelligent in very different ways.
There are a lot of great animal rights organizations who save dogs and save cats, but the Humane Society is actually really good at working with Congress and getting legislation actually passed.
I don’t really have a life outside of movies. But I like to climb mountains and walk the dogs. I like fine wines and good restaurants.
You know, I’ve released some great records and I’ve released some dogs. But frankly, the fun is in creating the thing.
You don’t get to choose your voice! I was never like, ‘Oh, I’ll take the voice that causes dogs to gather outside.’
Dogs are very, very pleasant with people that they’re connected to.
I have four dogs – Sadi, a Retriever, and Oscar, Ruby and Bella, who are Yorkies.
I’ve said it before: War brings out the patriotic bullies. In World War I, they went around kicking dachshunds on the grounds that dachshunds were ‘German dogs.’ They did not, however, go around kicking German shepherds.
