Perhaps 'citizenGo!' can raise a petition, just in case. I know that some dogs have grumpy personalities, but they seem to be outliers from the pack of 'em that are almost angelic.Amfortashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07474382097575605017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-54809212979662459332016-11-28T03:55:51.369+11:002016-11-28T03:55:51.369+11:00"I hasten to add that a good wife is more tha..."I hasten to add that a good wife is more than a best friend." I think you just about got away with it ;-)<br /><br />There are some amazing people around who spend their time and patience helping neglected and abused dogs and other animals back to health and trust. Rewarding for both the carer and the animal involved.<br /><br />I am fond of dogs but have never had one because I am either working or out and about so much it wouldn't be fair. Your tales have reminded of a time in the early eighties when I was walking home after getting off the bus. I turned the corner into the close where I lived and the neighbours old English sheep dog came bounding towards me. He followed me for a few paces then very gently grabbed hold of my coat sleeve (a wide and baggy sleeve, a style of that era). The doggie equivalent of holding hands, he accompanied me all the way home. And even when we got there he did not want to let go :-)CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-776872662073607566.post-29585584702903664382016-11-28T00:46:50.879+11:002016-11-28T00:46:50.879+11:00A good woman and a good dog.... you can have both....A good woman and a good dog.... you can have both.

The dog is more pathos producing when abused, the woman can hit back, both can be annoying, both induce love, the dog is far more loyal, the woman can produce your progeny.<br /><br />I'm not sure you can run both at the same time unless you were on a good wicket, jobwise. It takes too much time and energy to give each her/its due. You need to take the dog out twice a day, the woman every so often for a meal and then a holiday.<br /><br />If forced to decide, due to lack of resources, I still think I'd gravitate towards the woman first, always providing she was onside, though I'd expect to be alone within years, not a situation with the dog.James Highamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525082702330365464noreply@blogger.com
