Some of the things people have cited like shedding, accidents on the carpet and yard clean-up, I don't regard as that big a deal compared to the love, companionship and joy afforded by a dog.
Note: I'm not endorsing "Dog People." Those are the types who refer to their dog as "My daughter" and take him/her to dog painting classes.
Well, I was a real dog person for a number of years. As some forumites may know, I had four Japanese Tosas, very "extreme" dogs. They were wonderful dogs. I loved them dearly and I grieved for them bitterly. None of them lived very long: Zuma died after bloat surgery, aged 3 years and 20 days; Jessie was put down for a full-torsion bloat, aged 5 years, 4 months; Dempsey was put down for heart problems and stomach cancer, aged 6 years, 7 months; Tessa was put down as she was dying of lymphoma, aged 5 years, 2 months.
Somebody like lefty is a real "dog man." I like to think, to a lesser extent, that has been true of me as well.
But there will come a moment, kunk, when you glance out your kitchen window and see your son and his dog sitting quietly side-by-side, their heads cocked at the same angle staring off into space. That moment will be worth all the heartache.
"Dog fan" is probably a more accurate descriptor of me.
No. Dogs are emotionally shallow animals. A cat, on the other hand, doesn't sell you out the way dogs do.
