> Well, I'm prejudiced. I've been a dog person since I got over my fear of dogs at age five or six. But I can't imagine a better cure for loneliness.
I dont know about `prejudiced`... you sound kinda `experienced` in a seasoned kind of way to me. I grew up a dog person, but my oldest kiddo was a cat person, so I was converted... eventually. we had a couple of great cats that were a lot like dogs.. just in a cat body. they were adopted, and eventually died. We went without pets for a few years. I told the kids I already had three pets to clean up after (them) and there was not enough of me to take on another :-)
But maybe I need to invest myself in a pup. Maybe it`ll get me over the hump with my tendency to isolate myself.
> If you choose wisely, and invest the time, a dog can bring such joy to a home.I love to watch Cesar Milan (dog whisperer). He has some great shows about how to pick a dog that will be a good fit for your lifestyle. hmmm... I think I really need to explore this.
You know so much about dogs.. I may check in with you down the road during my decision-making process...
thanks for the encouragement!
