Ok, a lot of us. But can you blame us?

That's great!

I've not had many dogs, but for the most part if there's an unexpected sound, they look towards the sound, then maybe look at me for clarification. This experience was unique in my memory.

Maybe I was anthropomorphizing but it felt like he had identified that we were home alone, identified that the noise was unauthorized, and looked to me to confirm that the noise was not imagined.

He was never too worried about weather, but would come if called. I'm not sure that, during his lifetime, we ever had a weather event worthy of retreating. The next dog came from an abusive household and I'm pretty sure had been repeatedly left exposed during storms; the moment there was even a hint of thunder, she was leaning against the nearest human if not hiding behind them. I couldn't have gone downstairs without her even if I tried under those circumstances.

My cats don't care about noises or inclement weather in the least.

Awww

Me too!

If it was a cat as I suspect, they've been following me for years! Two of them were the first pets I got as an adult and they've outlived all but one pet I got since them.

Why do you have a rusty shovel in the bed room?

Or do I not want to know?

Why? The rifle is closer than the shovel, I think I'll grab that instead.

• Trying to get in? :(
• Trying to get out? :/

And then what happens when it's a man fighting a man?

…women are seen as baby makers by a significant amount of people and we have cultural pressures for women to have kids. it is so talked about it is a trope in our entertainment; the woman who is constantly asked when she is going to have a baby is an example of this.

i’m not a man.
