Dating a dog...

Some profiles have their primary photo (and sometimes only photo) of a dog. I surmise the relationshit is clouded by someone who isn't willing to show their real photo. Yeah, to those women, it's attention getting for the wrong reason. Guys will probably click out of curiosity and move on because no one wants to date a dog.

I'll make this a two-part blog.

That leads up to women and dogs. It was cool to date women with dogs when I was in high school and college. One girl I dated was living with her parents, going to college and sometimes helping with the family business. One of the benefits of being in a wealthy family was her trained Irish Setter had been professionally groomed.

Years later, I found myself dating divorced women with young children. I could get through the children part... it was the family 'god' I had issues with. No, I'm not dyslexic. One dog was so aggressive he had to be penned in another room when I visited. That was a short lived relationship. Another short lived relationship had the overly happy dog jumping on the furniture vying for attention. Could these relationships gone farther if the dogs weren't part of the equation? Possibly.

Recently, I worked with a woman who took sick days to care for her dog. She was really good at her job, but the boss was annoyed when she lost time baby sitting her dog or weekly trips to the veterinarian. I know she was dating and I believe a few guys had ghosted her... probably because the sickly dog was the focal point of the relationship.
On days when she brought her dog to the office, he would quietly sit on a cushion near her desk. When she got up to greet customers or go to another office, the dog would let out a cry of loneliness you could hear throughout the showroom.
