I disagree(NOTE: I own a dog and my cat died a few years ago from cancer) My
cat always jumped up on my LEGO table and kidnapped minifigs on a regular
basis. Luckily she never bit them up. She also left some huge furballs which
were like giant tumbleweeds to my wild west folks. On the other hand, if a
LEGO piece fell off the table my dog might come and sniff it, but thats it.
Of course, that behavior might lend credit to your macho theory

Luckily my dog walks himself, and I don't mind taking a FEW minutes off to go
play with him.

Not too sure, I've lived in a one-bedroom apartment with my dog and LEGO and
now am in a three-bedroom house. Where I lived was never dog-dependant, and I
always spent the same amount on LEGO.

Thankfully I never had a real dark-age. Of course when I was younger I didn't
quite have the financial means that I have now.
