I prefer dogs, but.. not gonna lie. After having my LO, I'm no longer an animal lover! I'm an animal tolerator!

We have two dogs. I still love them even though I have the four kids. It's a lot of work but they are pretty low maintenance dogs.

@Oceanis723: I think my problem is I left the dog I once adored at home with my sister when I moved out of state. Lived without him for 2 years and had my LO.
When I went to visit with baby in tow.. my pooch really stressed me out (he's a shedder).
*sigh
I feel bad for ditching him and being mean when I visit, but it's so stressful to travel with a baby!

I have both but prefer dogs. I hate cleaning the litter box!

I hate cats. They're moody freeloaders. AND I'm allergic to them, so that adds to my disdain for them.

Definitely cats. Can't stand how dogs smell, how they slobber everywhere, how loud they are when they bark, etc, etc

Dogs for us, but never big dogs again, and never a dog that sheds this much again. We love our fur kids, but they are a LOT of work to keep the house clean after.

Both! I love my animals but I'm worried about how the transition will go once LO gets here. I hope I can still give them attention and love.

We have agreed that was are a dog family. We will not have cats or birds.

I said neither... I've had too many bad experiences with them! That being said I DO plan on letting Cobi get a dog (if he wants one) when he's old enough to take care of it... between 8-10 I think. But I have final say on the breed lol

I have both a dog and a cat. My current one will be the last cat we own though. I much prefer dogs.

@chopsuey119: understandable. We had to change the way we lived with our dogs once we started having kids. They had to be separated more. fed differently stuff like that. Its lots of work to have pets and kids.

Cats! So much less work, and they don't smell. I love dogs too, but I'm a cat person for sure.

Completely a dog person! Cats kind of creep me out with their eyes....

I love dogs, but worry that I'll never find one as sweet & loving as the one I grew up with. Right our landlady's cat comes to visit every day, and he's pretty awesome. I hate all the hair he leaves everywhere though!!

Both! Three dogs and two cats. I have a feeling that'll be overwhelming when/if we have a LO, but the last dog wasn't my choice. If my sister ever returns from Japan she may find herself with a yorkie/bichon ;).

I'm allergic to cats! So dogs!! We have two of the best furbabies everrrrrr!

Cats all the way! Dogs are so needy and stinky and sheddy and slobbery. And you can't ever go away for a night without figuring out something for the dog - a big issue for us because my parents won't have the dog at their house and my MIL has her own dog that fights with ours. Cats you can leave a big bowl of food and they are good for a long weekend

I like cats, but I think pets (especially dogs...ugh) are wildly overrated. I tolerate them. DH and I will have one cat at most, and that's IT!

@chopsuey119: omg me too!
I love my current pets (although since baby I've been tempted to throw them all out the window many times) but am so over getting any additional pets in the near future. I'm going to sound like a jerk but they're just such an inconvenience when we want to travel with DD to see family and my dog actually grosses me out a lot of the time now. DH wants another dog desperately... not gonna happen.

Dogs, I'll never allow a cat in the house. I don't mind outdoor farm cats but not in my house.

Dogs! I don't trust cats - I feel like they're always just waiting for you to give them a reason to claw your face off. Plus I'm allergic.

I put "other" because I love both. I never did like cats but when I moved into my own place after college, I wanted a companion but couldn't imagine taking care of a dog. So I've had our cat, Andy, for 10 years, and then we adopted a dog a couple of years ago. I grew up with dogs, so I love them.

I'm a dog person. I don't dislike cats. I just didn't grow up with them and never had them as an adult.
