Dog ownership amongst Somalis

[Bro]

^ I agree, however the inside of my home is more important than my front/back yard, co-existing with it will only lead to xaram. You can't touch a dog without the dog itself wanting to lick your palm that's just a given factor

Dogs- uff I am a cat person. I have two beautiful cats of my own.

Yes. back home, da fam NeXt door owned a whole pack of dogs. I know of a chick n in here dat owns one. N another guy but he's a wanksta so no surprise there. I dont hate dogs but I wouldn't want 1 because of their nijaasa. I like cats tho.

[Somaliman50]

the shaaficiyiin say dogs are not permissible except in cases of hunting ugaar, guarding property (or being a scarecrow to fend off thieves and crows) or rounding up sheep and the like. but in any case, why keep a dog which is only a burden, it craps in your crib and is packed with fleas. get a cat or a goldfish instead.

I hate dogs but I love cats.

I have this fantasy of me in my farm (somewhere back home) on a horseback herding cows, camels and horses with this fella.

ES,

Yeah, cooked meat (prevents worms in dogs), add in rice or maize meal along with cabbages, veggies to maintain a good diet.

when i was little back Somalia i had goat pet and then one day i came home and i could not find my lovely little goat (it was called WAXAR) after looking for it every where and around the neighborhood my mother convinced me that it stolen and would buy me a new one soon the neighbour's goat gives birth to one.
later that day my older brother came to me and told me he had found my goat, I ran to him screaming in excitement ''mmeedey, meedey'' then he showed his his dinner plate and a piece of meat on it.
I never wanted to own another pet ever again.

that is a very sad story - outch!

I like dogs and the only reason I dont have one is everyone around me hates them.

I know a dude who ran into the middle of an intersection during rush hour because a wiener dog barked at him.
