I want to talk about dogs and how great they are.
I never had a dog growing up. I have three dogs now. Two RoughCollies (that’s, “Lassie ” to you) and a Belgian Shepherd. Ten, Eight and Six respectively. They have taught me so intrinsically about myself as a human dude. I think that every child should be assigned a Dog 🐶
I got my first dog at the age of 55. As she approaches her 6th birthday in may I can honestly say that getting my 6 week old Boxer puppy in 2011 is one of the best decisions I have ever made.
There’s a guy who I meet regularly in the square outside our flat – English geezer, getting on a bit, dresses a bit like a tramp (I should talk). Everybody chats to him and he gets special attention from all the attractive young women – students, coffee stall crew, etc. He says it’s all down to his dog – she’s the one they are all interested in and he’s just the human at the other end of the lead they are polite to. Whether it’s that or the positive effect of getting out and about with a natural and benign conversation starter, who knows. But he does stroll about like the cat who’s got the cream.

I love doggies. And babies. Delightful creatures (despite the poo).
Their owners (!)…. less so.
Present company excluded, obvs…
bricameron says
Yeah. Dogs bring out there owners alright. 😉

You wanna fix the human race? Every child should be assigned a dog and how to care for it.
