We adopted a little poodle mix 2 years ago.
I was very anti-dog, but my husbands and daughters had wanted one for years. I knew I would end up taking care of a dog, so I never wanted one.
However, when my husband was diagnosed with cancer snd my daughter was diagnosed with a movement disorder, I thought a dog might be good for us.
Well, I am now a total dog person. We all love our little puppy. She’s had lots of health problems, but she has the sweetest prrsonality. She’s been the right medicine for my family!
Cats have prrsonality
Yes, dogs are wonderful. I have always been a dog person, and, at this point in time, we have a wonderful corgi. We will both cry buckets when this doggie goes (he is getting older); but, (and I can't emphasize this enough), the dog is not my child. I have two children, they love the dog too; but, the dog is not a child. He is a wonderful companion; but, he is a dog --- not a child.
