I am not a dog person. At all.
I can’t stand the barking. Despise cleaning up after them. Get annoyed when they won’t settle down.
But here’s the thing: We have two.
I got talked into the first one, by my children and my husband. And he was such a little monster that I decided we needed a second one to calm him down.
Now they need exercise. I don’t have the patience for training, I’m the first to admit. So when Georgia (above) pulled like crazy while walking her, I quit.
Then I heard about this cheap little solution: a head halter. And it works! The most surprising part, though, is that I actually enjoy those moments out walking her with it.
Now, if only I could get one on that short little pug nose…
It’s brave of you to admit that you don’t actually like dogs. It’s the same here – I adore cats but dogs are too noisy to my taste. Of course, I don’t hate them, just don’t prefer them. It’s also brave of you to walk the dogs!
Yes, it seems almost politically incorrect not to like dogs… They’ve grown on me, but like you, I still prefer cats!
