i have always had a dog as a pet for as long as i can recall . :) i would never choose to live without a dog around when facilities are available. i love their company for so many reasons.

i prefer their company to many people and often turn down meeting up with someone just so that i can go off for a walk with the dog. lol. fields, beach, mountains, parks, ,,just the 2 of us.cool


i turned down a request to go to a party today because i had planned on going to the beach with the dog. its about a 4 hour round drive away,and a couple hours spent in the area bout 6hours.
i was looking forward to it .

however, i didnt tell person why in case be offended. some people mightent like the idea that you choose to be with the dog over them on occasions.dunno

Like yourself, i wouldn't be witout my two.
True, you know you can rely on them every time to be there for company and amusment.
A damn good deterrant to would be burglers, great with kids, characters in their own right, but dogs all the same.
I'd never forsake my two for a relationship in the offering, anyone thinking that would not be anyone i would want to know.

I think a single person who own a dog is really telling the world I've tried to find love with another human but it didn't work..now I have a dog as a substitutegrin

I wouldn't be without my dogs or any of my other animals, I dont see them as a substitute for anything. iv had dogs all my life and as far as im concerned a house isn't a home unless there's a dog there to greet you. if someone didn't accept the fact iv got animals then they aren't the person for me grin

Surely though there is a difference between loving your pet and actually putting it before human relationships?

I dont mean ignore or mistreat the pet in anyway, simply that to say you would turn down a social occasion to go for a walk with a dog is just weird.

I understand this bit! I have a cat and I adore him...I am not going to have a relationship with a guy who hates/is afraid of/is allergic to cats!
That bit is simple and quite normal I reckon.

However not going out because you would rather walk your dog or stay at home playing with your cat is freaky in my books uh oh

MADDOG69: You can tell them she also loves cherry tomatoes and segments of mandarin oranges. Normally pups grow out of that after a while...


I'd say her poo is a delight to clean up laugh or do you let the hamster/cat/parrot eat it rolling on the floor laughing

never said anything about turning down social occasions for the dog all I said was if someone doesn't like animals then they aren't gonna be the one for me. I work with animals all day and then come home to all of my own so my life pretty much revolves around animals, if someone can't accept that or thinks its weird then we aren't gonna get along plain and simple.
