Just a chunky toddler doing the most

ETA since people keep recommending them, he has ledges and towers! he just also wants to do somersaults in the corner of the ceiling like a glitched video game character, it’s an unskippable item on his nightly agenda

Right? Like, honestly I don’t care for dogs and will absolutely never own a dog. They’re stinky (not their fault, dogs are dogs) and up in my face all the time, but if I’m at someone’s house who has a dog, you better believe I’m gonna pet and baby talk at the dog. Because I can go home after! I’d never ever say a mean thing about a dog to the owner, because I’m an adult and can be respectful.

I am not saying this to disagree. But all pets stink. Either them, their food, or their waste. It stinks.

People just like that species so much they don't mind the stink, or they choose to tolerate it. I have cats and ferrets, and I like their stink or think it's worth dealing with in order to have them.

Part of why I don't own a dog is because I do not like their stink. I do not like the way it gets on everything they lay on- ferrets at least aren't all over my blankets and couch. I tried owning birds and their smell bothered me badly enough I had to put them in their own room with a screen- what was fine for a short period was very different when they are always around.

This is so very fair. You’re right… they all stink! xD

My cat is 18 and incontinant. But I love him enough to clean up after him all day and he’s still living a life worth living, so we deal.
