Are you truly a dog person?

I am a dog person. I am also a cat person, rabbit person, lizard person, bird person and snake person.  I would happily get more animals if my husband, Larry, would let me (and if Irvine were zoned for pigs).  But, since I can barely keep up with the ones we have, I guess I will have to make do with our small clan. I have to fess-up, slurpy, waggy, silly dogs are my favorite animal.

This picture might seem strange for those non-dog people; Larry in a picturesque setting with his arm around Madison, our boxer.  But, my scrapbooks are overflowing with others just like them--Madison and me in front of our new house, Larry and Madison on a hill above the Golden Gate Bridge, Madison and me having a latte on Clement Street.  Not only was it because we loved that crazy dog like a child, but it was a logistical matter as well, since dogs can't take pictures, it was always one of us with her, posing in front of the point of interest.

I still get teary talking about our Madison, who passed away years ago--just like missing an old friend.

I have my dog now, Hazel.  She isn't the brightest K-9 in the world, but she sure is pretty.  Yes, she is wearing a dress, sorry. This is one reason why Larry doesn't like to be seen in public with her.

So, you are totally following all this and think YOU are truly a dog person too?  I put together this quiz to see if you are a hard-core dog lover, or just a pooch poser.

   

      

Orny Adams, a very funny Los Angeles-based comedian, made this video about his cynophobia, or fear of dogs: Here.  Poor guy, we truly dog people can be a bit annoying at times.  It is just too hard for us to conceive of someone not adoring them the way we do.
