Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.

Charles M. Schulz

We are alone, absolutely alone on this chance planet: and, amid all the forms of life that surround us, not one, excepting the dog, has made an alliance with us.

Maurice Maeterlinck

I wonder if other dogs think poodles are members of a weird religious cult.

A door is what a dog is perpetually on the wrong side of.

Ogden Nash

Animals are such agreeable friends - they ask no questions, they pass no criticisms.

George Eliot

We call them dumb animals, and so they are, for they cannot tell us how they feel, but they do not suffer less because they have no words.

Anna Sewell

I loathe people who keep dogs. They are cowards who haven't got the guts to bite people themselves.

August Strindberg

Old age means realizing you will never own all the dogs you wanted to.

Joe Gores

Cats are smarter than dogs. You can't get eight cats to pull a sled through snow.

Jeff Valdez

If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.

Mark Twain

It's funny how dogs and cats know the inside of folks better than other folks do, isn't it?

Eleanor H. Porter

A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down.

Robert Benchley

My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to 99 cents a can. That's almost $7.00 in dog money.

Joe Weinstein

No animal should ever jump up on the dining-room furniture unless absolutely certain that he can hold his own in the conversation.

Fran Lebowitz

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

Sir Winston Churchill

We are not in the business of cloning pets.

Gerald Schatten

They weren't feral cats; they were his pets.

Patricia Schmidt

People who have lost their pets come to the circle with a picture of their pet and we talk about them, and grieve over them. I believe that it helps.

Barbara Chamberlain

We wanted all the pets and owners to feel special.

Kathy Eckelberry

We have so many unwanted pets.

Jamie Turner

Pets can be a real distraction. And the house needs to smell good.

We have a telephone hotline and a website where people can report their pets missing. We get details from them on what kind of animal they have, where they lived, what it looks like and what its name is.

Susan Klages

I don't know what they're going to do, but they've got to get this thing out of here. There's so many kids here and there's pets all around the neighborhood and this thing is hungry and it's not going anywhere. Somebody's got to get this thing.

Nicole Ambrosini

We are still inspecting, checking records and following leads for any source of this outbreak. We are especially concerned with any outbreak that can be transferred from pets to humans.

Tommy Irvin

Some of these pets find new people to care for them, but most don't. I hope to continue adopting these animals, and try to find others who can as well.

Reiji Kanemoto

Other traps say they're non-toxic, but on the back, it says, 'Keep away from children and pets,'.

David Webster

Then they'll start taking pets and lose their fear of people.

Stan Gehrt

We'll be able to take quite a few pets.

Laurie Williams

You build an altar, and the children bake bread. All the children talked about people or pets they knew that were dead. We had candles all over the place. Kathryn helped make that possible. I know how much it meant to her that we did that.

Susie Corbett

Other places - some of them will kill [animals] in 48 hours. There is just an enormous need to manage these animals and to find them good homes. Everyone should get their pets from shelters. Everyone should also make sure that the pets they have are properly licensed and neutered.

Marnie Waiwat

I think by helping alleviate the cost of veterinary care, we are giving pet owners peace of mind. It allows them to have a choice about their pets care.

Brian Iannessa

There are many people who like to do the raw diets for their pets - the raw meat with bones, and lots of vegetables. It's more natural, like in the wild, although it's not for every pet.

Lynhaar Rodriguez

Pets are part of the family now. They are catered to. When you hire a pet sitter, it shows that your are thinking of your pet and you want them to be happy.

Sonja Brown

We went over some ways to help them be responsible for their pets.

Michaele Klingerman

They went back in and made sure we got as many of the pets out as we could.

We want everyone to have the opportunity to go. That means pets, too. We don't want anyone staying because of pets.

Steve Mccraw

If you ban smoking outside near a door or window, essentially you have no place to smoke except your own home - and maybe not even there. What's next? Smoking in a house with children will be considered child abuse. Smoking around pets will be cruel to animals.

Jacob Sullum

We're in the business of taking care of people's pets at our facilities and this is sort of an extension of our belief about the role of pets in the family.

Debra Bennetts

The money raised will cover the food for more than 500 animals for almost two months. We average about 1,100 pets a year including those that are adopted out.

Betty Hughes

Being a part of a community to me is really important. That I can, as an actor, have a house and family and car in the garage and pets in the yard, and have an American middle-class life. That is not something you could do 30 years ago, 40 years ago.

Randy Moore

We don't allow people to keep wild animals as 'pets' in any situation. There are plenty of animals that can be kept easily and legally as pets. It's best to let the wild animals remain wild.

Todd Nims

This is novel. I've never heard of anything like it, just for pets. I just stumbled upon it by accident, but I'm glad I did. I think it's great. I'm a dog lover and an avid music lover.

Debby Reilly

We're retail for pets and their parents. Pets are bona fide members of families. Our pets are our kids and our passion.

Janet Mcculley

We're less active as a society in general, and that goes for our pets too. This has made health issues for pets become more important.

James Myers

I don't necessarily want the pets to stop getting the attention. But I think we need to pay more attention when any living being is being harmed.

Rita Smith

We've received thousands of requests from all over the area, asking us to go in and look for their pets.

Paul Berry

We run a yearly free rabies clinic for those who can't afford to get their pets inoculated.

James Maloney

They aren't wanting this help and they don't want to be handled, especially when they're injured and very, very frightened. These are not pets who enjoy attention.

Cathie Donohoe

They will snatch house pets if owners let them loose or feed them outdoors. We just need to be aware that they're here. Never feed a coyote.

Stan Gehrt

We are in luck because we actually incorporate pets into our emergency planning.

Katie Ford

They are pets or descendants of former pets. They don't occur naturally here.

Skip Snow

The owners are treating their pets more like family members.

Robin Bennett

My mom is from Maine and we went camping every year as a kid. We had pets and we were taught to treat them to be like members of the family.

Coryne Tasca

For many people, pets are part of the family. You want an answer. You want justice.

Beth Wictum

Don't do this to your pets. Find a place for them or don't buy them in the first place.

Barbara Thomas

We loved listening to stories about the pets and what they are like and the things they do. One dog took care of his brother who had cancer by taking the food plate to him.

James Eckelberry

I realized after a while that the dogs you buy in the pet store are pets. And race dogs are race dogs.

Jesse Miltier

It's especially concerning when a celebrity keeps wild animals as that promotes the whole concept of wild animals as pets to the public.

Lisa Wathne

Nothing gives me quite so much joy as when people tell me they've had their pets spayed or neutered.

Bob Barker

It will help Chief (David) Bradley before a hurricane. He'll have better data on how many people need to go off island that do not have transportation and how many have pets.

Jill Davidson

There's hardly ever any events for pets.

Wendy Fox

This is part of the essence of motherhood, watching your kid grow into her own person and not being able to do anything about it. Otherwise children would be nothing more than pets.

Heather Armstrong

He has snuck into laboratories and zoos, found people with monkeys as pets. The story is amazing because of the extent he's gone.

Jay Allison

They don't make good pets. They are extremely intelligent and always have escape on their minds. They want to roam and wander.

Mike Pastore

This is just another way for people to enjoy the park. Pets are family today.

Mike Diehl

There are a lot of species that come for landscaping, for pets, that don't cause problems. We didn't write a definition that would be bulletproof.

Steve Sanford

Some shelters don't take [pets], and that is really a major problem.

Wayne Pacelle

Often people who smoke or who have pets are so accustomed to the smells they don't notice it.

Dianne Usher

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!

Anne Tyler

The sound of animals howling for their owners and the sight of drowning pets will haunt me the rest of my life.

Rex Ryan

It disturbed me quite a bit when young children had to get on the evacuation buses and leave their pets behind, ... Pets are a part of your family, at least in my opinion. I have five dogs of my own and they're my family. I can't imagine having to leave them behind.

Steve Wozniak

We recycle bottles and cans, and we have a lot of pets because we love animals. It's important to celebrate Earth Day so we can save everything and conserve.

If you don't take pets, or if your house is not set up for small children, we need to know.

Michelle Evans

I know and you know people who would not leave without their pets. They will stay. They did stay in New Orleans.

Christopher Shays

I've always had a fascination for animals. I loved watching them, and even then I thought of them as beings rather than pets. I call it a birth affect!

Tippi Hedren

I think inside of us we all have this need to express feelings. Pet people, they use their pets.

Steve Maciontek

Pets, like their owners, tend to expand a little over the Christmas period.

Frances Wright

We have so many dogs and there are so many out there who need help.... It's really hard to find pets a foster home. We have to turn them down and forward them to other rescue groups, which are full, too.

Alyssa Biondo

We think pets are the next huge trend. It's a $40 billion dollar industry. Pets are our other babies.

Kelly Mooney

We're not telling you that you can't have pets, we're not telling you can't have a guard dog. What were telling you is that if you have a pet or a guard dog that has the capabilities of doing what they did to my mother, that you need to be responsible in the way that you care for them and contain them.

Marilyn Shoemaker

The one thing he taught me was kindness. He made me realize there are so many abandoned pets like him, living in kennels waiting for their guardians to come back.

Reiji Kanemoto

These pets are members of people's families and so we treat them as such.

Nikki Hackendahl

It is a great way for the community to give donations for these pets and to make money for the ARC Foundation.

Brannon Johnson

Besides being at least eight weeks old, our pets must be healthy and well-socialized. This is done to ensure they will make good pets for adopting families.

Jack Reif

Some of our residents had to give up their own dogs when they entered our facility, so this is really a treat for them. We encourage families to bring their pets when visiting our residents.

Rusty Harris

It's a healthy segment, no question about it. These are folks with a little more disposable income and they are looking to make sure their pets are well taken care of.

Bob Vetere

About 400 get here every evening. Only about 20 people a day find their pets here.

Laura Maloney

People will not leave if they can't bring their pets.

The failure to spay and neuter pets — that's the biggest contributor to the pet population.

Pets can return home faster by combining the Web site and our staff to match up the reports -- for happy homecomings.

Pamela Burns

Our philosophy behind the fee is to offset the strain pets can put on the State Parks resource.

Craig Whipple

I want people to be aware that your pets just don't disappear when it's a pet that normally doesn't run away.

John Enos

They're beautiful. There's nothing prettier than a husky or malamute in full form. But these are not pets. They are working dogs. There are people who can handle them, but you have to make a huge commitment to fencing and managing them.

Sidney Sachs

Some people ask, why don't you let nature take it's course? My answer is that most of the injuries are caused by man-made objects or pets, and they are not natural.

Bev Shofstall

These were not super dogs. They were just ordinary household pets.

Nicholas Broffman

We generally have anywhere from five to 15 pets adopted each weekend.

Connie Guthrie

We will continue down this road in the future, finding the best sources of nutrition that we can develop for aquatic pets. Good nutritional products will help keep fish alive and keep people in the hobby.

If I have anything to say about it, pets will be evacuated on the bus so the owners will know where their pets are, ... A pet can be a comfort to the owner as well as other people.

Doug Anderson

People just drop their pets off outside the door. Often the cats are sick with skin disease or have infections.

There has been a baby boom in the congregation, ... but a lot of our members have lots of pets. We have a compassion for unwanted animals. And we're emphatic about making a difference.

Jeff Miner

I don't ever worry about the pets we have to put to sleep. It's the owners that really take it hard that I worry about.

Julie Breault

It helped me a lot. Pets are a part of your family and when you lose them, it's losing a part of your family.

Barbara Chamberlain

This is an emotional category in the sense that people won't hold back spending on their pets because the economy is doing badly, ... Pets are an important part of the family and people like to indulge them.

James Myers

This is only the second time we've held this event, but both times we've had great success in getting pets adopted out.

Catherine Harmon

It comes down to the policy wisdom of the city doing this and if it is a bad idea, the people of Edgewater should get together and say we want to have pets that can breed.

Neil Richards

It's just overwhelming, ... There are countless thousands of abandoned pets in the city. And hundreds and hundreds are stuck inside their homes.

Laura Maloney

At a home, you have house pets. This is our home, so she's our house pet.

Carlo Debartolo

It's a long day, but it's well worth it. I think in El Dorado it has definitely decreased the numbers of pets that are unwanted.

Jamie Turner

Rabbits make wonderful pets, but they are a 10-year commitment. Like any other pet, they require attention.

Lorraine Corriveau

At one point in time, they were just normal pets, but then we realized they love everybody.

Linda Amrein

And they can even have pets.

Annette Pang

It's really a problem caused by irresponsible people who don't spay and neuter their pets.

Tom Leonard

As much as we love them, our pets leave a lot of manure behind them in yards and on the street and that can be a major source of contamination of ground water.

Will Brinton

We find mature animals to be ideal pets. They usually work well because they are less excitable, and they make great companions.

IT'S A very sad situation. We've had a number of distraught citizens call us [to see if their pets were among those found]. They had dealings with the business either directly or through a veterinarian or the [county animal] shelter.

Mary Mulrenan

You enter into a certain amount of madness when you marry a person with pets.

Nora Ephron

Most of it was cash, and we couldn't return it to anybody. We decided to set up this fund and use it toward those pets that needed us.

Julie Breault

Sometimes people will bring in their other pets to kind of check him out. Then I check with a stethoscope. They have the option of me taking him away for cremation or whatever.

Cathleen Green

This may be appropriate for cattle, pets or packages, but for humans it is a very different issue.

Lee Tien

We come to get our name out there and promote our business. It helps to let people know we're here and in town to take care of their pets.

Shirley Bailey

People look at animal control officers as being big bad people. To me this shows them taking care of what people should be taking care of with their pets - spaying and neutering that is. It shows they have white hats instead of black hats.

Deborah Franklin

Pet owners want to be able to go away and know their pet will be treated just as they are treated at home. And pets today are living very good lives.

Debra Bennetts

We are urging people to exhaust every avenue before bringing their pets here.

Chuck Mcdevitt

They do make really good pets just because they're affectionate and playful and they honestly don't take a lot of care.

I hate a word like "pets": it sounds so much Like something with no living of its own.

Elizabeth Jennings

However, some just refused to acknowledge their ownership of the pets when bringing them here and few of them pay the money.

Zhou Min

We are pleased to offer consumers this technology, but consumers should make the choice rather than have it made for them. If they don't have children or pets and they don't feel they need it, they shouldn't be compelled to pay for it.

Eron Shosteck

I have more self-confidence than I did when I was in my 20s. There was a point when I almost gave up. I couldn't feed myself. I couldn't feed my pets.

Eleanor Mondale
