Only that small little difference of actually being your offspring and therefore willing to put up life.
But why put up with that stuff with pets?
If you can compare pets to your own children, you have issues. 
If you get more out of life from your pets than your children, you also have issues. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Pets and children are very similar: they don't always do what you say, they often smell bad, they destroy things you love, they cost a fortune to raise, they can be loud and annoying, they are dependant on you for food, shelter, medical care, and help.
And pets are the same.

I hope that changes in your future, kids are some of the most interesting creatures, messy, noisy and irritating but interesting. Oh and they do like pets

I don't doubt that! I have nothing against them and nothing but admiration for anyone who's a parent. Thankfully I'm blessed with two amazing nieces who are like my own daughters. ![Heart | [heart]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/love.gif)

It's property of a she. It's a hard floor: bleach and a mop will probably be applied later.
More than the mess it's having said mess deposited in my vicinity. There's a lot of other vicinity around here. Add to this that Monday, on the way into work, I ran over something which killed a tire. Looking at its current ware (big hole not withstanding) I decided it's as good a time as any to replace two of them (symmetry) - so $294 sailed away. And I'm going to need some plumbing done. Since I cannot offer the plumber my first-born, he'll probably demand money.
So - the dog's selection of me may be cosmic in nature. In a place that should be free of such droppings, they came and found me anyway. A fearful portent of some horror, known or unknown - yet to come.

Yes, I foresee that when you get home you will find that the sewer has backed up into your bathroom and the AC went out letting it get to 105F in your domicile.
Or the dog just doesn't like you.

That sentence, out of context, would make an interesting signature. Or was it a Freudian slip?
It was broke, so I fixed it.

I worked at a "Digital Agency" for a small while and when I turned up in the morning there were dogs running around, people cycling to their desks (not to the office, to their desks). It looked like a cliché of how "young" start-ups are represented in the movies.

I consider your thoughts.
The Guild of Hindu Mahouts believes that stepping in dog droppings is lucky - as it wasn't elephant droppings.

Book of Eli - Mourning Gloom[^]
Last weekend I spoke to a nice girl that I had known for years, but never actually talked to (friend of a sort-of-friend thing).
She was just doing some stuff for her band, Book of Eli (and no, it wasn't Eli I talked to, she's another friend of a friend of a friend). I've known the band for a while as well, but never really gave it a good listen.
Until last weekend, of course
Enjoy (and I think some of you actually will!) 
P.S. You can check out their other stuff on Spotify[^] if you like

At this point we skip the music and go straight to "when are you guys getting married?".

Not anytime soon

Yeah, I've heard of the movie, but never seen it.
The soundtrack, while not actually bad, doesn't really want to make me see it either

Sandor, I'm so relieved to hear you are talking with nice girls !
An interesting video, but, for me, it's so obvious the singer is trying (and failing) to hit notes below the bottom of her current vocal range limit ... I feel sorry for her.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Testosterone?
I don't think there's any anti-doping laws in the music industry - in fact, quite the contrary.
Problem solved!

I do that once in a while
It's just to bad they're all taken (married even) or not interested
