My dogs don't provide security for me, though it's nice that they only bark when there's a strange animal or human approaching or in the yard...

There's no big mystery. I've always been an avid lover of animals. Dogs just happen to be one of my favorite.

I put my dogs ahead of anyone else in my life now because they are completely dependent on me to take care of them. I mean, yes, they can play outside by themselves for the day, but they need me for love, warmth, shelter, love, protection, food and water.

They provide me with unconditional love, so long as I care for them and treat them with love and kindness.

Can't get that from men these days.

Having said that...my dogs certainly can't replace the love of a good man. But I love them for what they are ...beautiful, funny, loving creatures, and for the love and appreciation they give me in return.

I am glad you brought up the pack thing - I totally understand this. I divorced 12 years ago, and our 2 pups went with me because he did not want to be tied down with the responsibility of taking care of them (and I don't fault him for being honest about this). The point is, they have been with me ever since, and we are a pack. I have to admit, when I lost one of them a year ago to cancer, I took as hard as if she were my very best friend....probably because in certain ways she was. I still cry when I remember her constant companionship when I fell in love again, and had my heart broken by another man [I am not man bashing, promise].

Today my "pack" includes my other buddies, a 15 y.o. dog and 15 y.o. cat - and I am as loyal to them as they are to me.

So, what was this thread suppose to be about again
You tell the story well. Absolutely on the button!

Dogs really do become a member of your family. I had a dog when I was sixteen for 4 years. He was my best friend. He moved with me to North Carolina and then back to Florida. One day, he just didn't come home. I looked for him for weeks, just as a did with my last dog. My brother finally told me years later our neighbor shot and killed him. It was horrible, even years later, especially when I thought about all the time I spent worrying and wondering. I was always an animal lover, but after that I didn't get too close to any of my pets till my last dog. I had her 3 years. I hope I can recover faster this time, the only reason I am taking a new pup is protection.

I want to thank everyone for their responses. As most of you know, asking a question leads to enlightenment. Sometimes those answers confirm pre-held bias and sometimes they create new paths of thinking. The reason I asked women, primarily, about dogs is because I expected a diverse, emotional, intelligent and conversational response, which is exactly what I got. The responses from some of the men were, in some cases, angry, demeaning and unnecessary, which was a bit of a surprise and a clear separation of thought process. For me, the information garnered and learned (from both genders) was worth asking the question. In-the-end, love is a wonderful thing regardless of species.

I think if anyone was trying to harm me, Dahlia might rip them apart. Kohl? He'd shake their hand...to the death. He does it well, and he's very proud that he can do it, so he does it over and over and over ...

LOL...

Although Dahlia is protective of me, I'm not entirely sure she'd do anything, because she doesn't know aggression. Well...except she did try to murder one of her own babies. So maybe...dunno
