Helloooo out there...

Okay, internet, bring forth the dog people! I'm not obsessed, I just like my dog better than some people. Is that so wrong?

Our English Bulldog has the magical ability to annoy me in less than 0.2 seconds, and yet I would much rather hang out with her than a lot of people. Then there's our Lhasa Apso, who I like more than, well, most people. We're also not obsessed, but we do like our dogs.

I wrote about him at the below link if you're interested - http://mouseinmyhouse.blogspot.com/2007/09/mason.html; ▶ Reply to This

In other words, Hi!

Actually, I can't really say Woof - and neither can my dogs. I have basenjis, and I adore them. My two boys are more like cats. Aloof, independent, and they clean themselves like cats. They sort of yodel, or sometimes say "Barooooo!" But no woofs in my house.

Is that so wrong?? Don't JUDGE ME! :)

Here's the intro to my dogs. The black one went to the Rainbow bridge last Spring... but the other two are still yodeling away...

Nellie is a Shiba Inu mix (we don't know what else), but she is oddly cat like. I love her nonetheless. She does exhibit some dog behavior, though - like wanting to kill every squirrel she meets. That's my girl!; ▶ Reply to This

Most people do not have this gift. A dog has talents that people do not have. For example: My dog (Roscoe Pekoe Train) can remove the tube from the toilet paper while the tube is on the roller! He can do this without doing a lot of damage to the toilet paper. He has been refining this practice for about four years now whenever he gets a chance and someone leaves the bathroom door open.; ▶ Reply to This

Here's a link to a recent blog post with a photo of Winston, my rat terrier: http://notthemama.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/brrr/; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Carmen on November 12, 2007 at 6:41am: That is not wrong at all. Dogs are so much more loving and forgiving than people, so of course we like them better than most!!! I am a mom of two boxers that my husband and I absolutely adore.; ▶ Reply to This

Fur-kids! I love it! I've had my little Rootie for almost 6 years now, and she is definitely my best bud. When I come home and scoop her up into my arms, I can feel the stress drain from my shoulders. That 5 lb poodle is the Best. Dog. Ever. (Well...y'know. 'Cept for your dog) :-)
