I've been getting out the house for walks/jogs, which I rarely do on my own so it's good for me and the dog. It makes the walks/jogs so much more enjoyable. It's good having a companion as well. If I were to get a dog, I'd love to adopt a puppy at the local shelter. Do you get dog breeds that are easier to train and look after? How do you train a dog? General stuff like that I need advice on.
Any advice and helpful information is appreciated 
as a dog lover myself I glade to see you are getting a dog possibly but you need to think about the dog, running on public streets and sidewalks will overtime injure a dog they are not meant to run on pavement or concrete . find him a open field and let them run.
if you are in any doubt whether or not running on pavement or concrete hurts their paws take off your shoes and socks and go for a run.

Don't get a pet if you're going to let it outside to invade other people's property. Fucking hate people in this neighborhood with all their outdoor cats. Fuck those people. Their cats come and shit IN MY garden and I get to dig my hands unknowingly into cat shit. I also get to step in their pet's shit constantly. I also get to clean up dead bird carcasses and all kinds of other nifty treasures they leave behind.
Your pet should not be my burden. You want to get a cat, keep the fucking thing indoors, ON YOUR PROPERTY. If you think it's cruel to get a cat and keep it indoors, then don't get a fucking cat unless you live in the middle of nowhere and no one but you has to clean up after your pet.

Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Guess what bro, no other animal at all poses any kind of inconvenience. Dogs, squirrels, birds, possums, etc etc. None of these other animals in the neighborhood do anything that effects me in any way. It's cats, and pet cats that people just let run loose outside. So my point stands. If you live in a neighborhood and want a cat as a pet, keep it in your damn house. If you're not willing to do it, then don't get one. Cats are known menaces in confined neighborhoods. If you get one with the intention of just letting it roam free, you're an asshole.

Dude if I lived by you Id adopt a ton of cats and let them run wild. I think itd be hilarious seeing you just flip out and start breaking shit when you went to garden and started digging up a ton of bird carcasses.

And if I knew you did it just to fuck with me I'd catch every one of them and take them to the pound.

Honestly you'd grow tired of it before I would. It takes almost 0 effort to trap a cat and the pound is literally like a 3 minute drive from here.
The only thing that stops me from doing this now with the cats in the neighborhood is that I know they're someone's pet that they actually care about and aren't just doing it to piss me off or something. It's still annoying and they're still assholes for doing it.

Really? I'd say you're overconfident in your abilities. Some cats are easy to trap because they trust people, but other than that, no.
You have a serious problem. I mean I am more of a dog person myself, but what the hell did cats do to you?

All cats are homosexuals. Not that there's anything wrong with that I'm just saying.
Get a dog. I'm sure I'll get some shit from cat owners for saying this but dogs are so much better as a pet than cats are in every way

You're "just saying" isn't in any way funny, original, or insightful. Just saying.

Those things have so many issues due to inbreeding its not even funny. Compulsive tail chasing for hours, bad knees, skin problems, too many teeth, short life spans and a predilection to a host of diseases. If you want a good dog go for a mixed breed.

Every Tuesday and Thursday from 7 am to 4pm, I will be back to dog-sitting the same wee guy as last time. The owner is a retired women and friend, who works those only two days. This will more experience and help me decide if I REALLY want a dog.
