I prefer the company of my dogs and cats over at least 90% of the people I know. :anyone:
My dog is the only person here who is always glad to see me, and always misses me when I'm gone. Had a scare last week, found a huge lump on his rear left hock. Took him to our vet, rather expecting to have to have him put down. Was a lipoma. Removed, back home Friday afternoon. Easy surgery, and about half the cost we expected. Got some little El Arroyo Restaurants sign magnets on the frig.

Be the person your dog thinks you are.

People I like: 1. Dogs

Petting a dog counts as partying.

I also like cats, but not enough to add them to the list, so far. ;) Had to take the one I did like that much to the vet a couple of years ago to cross the Rainbow Bridge. So VERY happy I didn't have to say goodbye to my dog!

Some are for pettin’, some are for ridin’, and some are for eatin’. I’ll take them any day over 99% of the people that I know. Even the ones that I’ve tried to ride but didn’t want to be ridden.
Once had a Holstein steer that was a pet. Dad brought him home and named him T-bone, as a newborn calf. The herd of little sisters and brothers objected to eating him. He was a sweet good boy. Not as smart as a dog, but gentle and careful around the little kids. Willing to walk around with them on his back, too. Also had a Welsh Pony, and a thoroughbred horse. Plus dogs, cats, rabbits, 9-line chipmunks, racing pigeons, parakeets, Banty hens and a rooster, a Mexican Green Parrot, and for a while there was an aquarium full of Red-bellied Piranha. Couple of desert tortoises, too. They'd eat grapes and lettuce from your hands, too. Hives of bees, too. Dad was a critter whisperer. Bastrich didn't pass that gene along to me, either. :(

And the puppy I persuaded the little kids to adopt loved him more than me, too. ;)
