I missed Wombat’s bloggaversary because he forgot about it; we were blogger born around the same time. Go give him some blogger love.
From Wombats to Dogs. (Wombats score higher here)
I’ve decided against taking on the Boxer because I am used to smart dogs. Where as it may be true Boxers are not the stupidest of dogs, and they are very loving, they are not the smartest dogs in the kennel.
I have always had smart dogs, Golden Retrievers and Rottweilers to be exact. These breeds look at you with a knowing eye, they listen well, train easily when trained correctly, but you always know they are doing what you tell them to only because you feed them; they often obey with an air of contempt. I love that air of contempt. I disliked, at times, the ever gratefulness of the Boxer. I dislike ever grateful passive aggressive men as well.
It is imperative to equate the IQ of both dog and significant other with that of yourself and make a decision as to the suitability of a relationship based on that information. You should not be with a significant other who has an IQ more than ten points lower than yours just as you shouldn’t have a stupid dog, unless you are a stupid person.
Disproportionate IQ’s will cause more havoc in a relationship than most anything I can think of; with coordinated outfits being totally passé harmonious IQ’s are more important than the concordance of anything except basic moral principles.
I’d be better off with a conservative with an IQ the same as mine than a Liberal with an IQ significantly less than mine.
In regard to dogs however there is some grace allowed; if you have always had a stupid dog, even if you are highly intelligent, it is ok to continue with stupid dogs. With a man if you have had one stupid man that is quite enough.
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
The one with the waggley tail
How much is that doggie in the window? (arf! arf!)
I do hope that doggie’s for sale
I read in the paper there are robbers (roof! roof!)
With flashlights that shine in the dark
My love needs a doggie to protect him
And scare them away with one bark
“My loathings are simple: stupidity, oppression, crime, cruelty, soft music.“
