I have been single all my life... late in life... 46 y/o I met the most perfect companion.... she loved to travel... loved to cook... loved to keep house... Attractive.... And I mean attractive.... not just attractive... but HOT with curves in all the right areas...
She had a nicer house and so my dog and I moved in... and rented out my house... at first, She loved the dog.... but later, 3 years later... came to be jealous of my black Labrador.... every day after work, I would take the dogs walking... her dog and mine.
One day.... while getting my hiking boots on.... my dog was there.... Tail just a wagging.... jumping up and down anticipating his walk... She came walking toward the back door talking or telling me something... and when my dog heard her voice, he dropped his head and sulked away to hide behind the bushes....
A week or so went by.... I was just sick with what to do because I was not going to give up my dog.... He had, and still has, a blind loyalty to me... his human. Then my renters called.... "hey, we bought a house.... and... would it be ok if we are out in the middle of the month ? " I was like... "Yup... I will make it work for you... in fact.... as soon as you are out, I will stop by with cash for your security deposit if the house is all good... " At dinner later that week.... "So you choose that dog over me ! ??? " "Yup...."
Excellent choice my man….

I don't. They smell bad, crap all over, most haven't been trained for any useful purpose, and some are even dangerous.
Almost as obnoxious are the "dog people" who assume--or demand--that everyone like their dog just because they do. I don't like dirty paws jumped up on my clothes, ugly wet snouts shoved into my crotch, and similar indignities. I invited a guy to shoot at my Sporting Clays club. He wanted to bring his damned dog along. The clubhouse has a sign that dogs aren't allowed. Another guy brings his dog to another club. It runs around without a leash and jumps on any stranger in the clubhouse. He's lucky it doesn't get shot.
Cats are worse, in my opinion. They kill 1.7 billion song birds each year and usually torture their victims like animal Nazis. We have a suburban blog around here. Over half the posts are of the form...my cat got lost, I've got 6 kittens to give away, etc. 100% of the posters are women. The cats have names like "Fur Baby" and "Fluffy Buffy." Blech! The coyotes feed well around here. You just described most humans, you must have been looking in the mirror when you typed this, and you must be a real A$$hole to be around.

I was raised with them. Learned to trust them, lewrned how they love you no matter what. My grandfather had me with dogs and horses as a baby.
I think for most of us that's a lot of it .... our experiences with them as kids.
We've rescued a bunch over the years, fostered a bunch, got a bunch buried here on the farm .... all of them that died here have been good dogs. Even the ones who decided to die elsewhere have been good dogs. I've gpt enough time left I think maybe for one more.
What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become. In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.
