It's Sad, But True

I've been thinking a lot about this and I've come to a conclusion:

I think I like dogs better than people.

Of course there are certain people that I would choose over a dog like my husband, my family, my good friends and the prophet, but I really think that, in general, I prefer dogs to humans.

These are just a few reasons why:

1. A lot of times when I'm out somewhere, I see people from a distance (some that I know and some that I've never seen before) and I try as hard as I possibly can to avoid them. But when I see a dog from a distance, I will go through any obstacle I have to go through to see the dog and to say hi to it.

2. Dogs love me. Pretty much every time I even look at a baby, it starts crying. But when I go up to a dog, 99% of the time, their tail starts wagging and they want to jump on me and lick me.

3. There are a decent amount of people that scare me, but besides the evil, possessed Dobermans that lived next door to me most of my childhood, I have never been afraid of a dog.

4. I have lived with many, many people and I am totally disgusted when someone leaves their hair in the drain or doesn't cover their mouth when they cough or sneeze. But when my dog sheds his hair all over every piece of clothing I own and slobbers on me, I don't mind at all.

5. When I see someone out walking their dog or when I go to their house, even when it's someone I know and like, I would way rather hang out with the dog than the owner of the dog.

6. I've actually been really good about this the last couple years, but sometimes I forget people's birthdays until a day or two after their birthday has passed. But I spend weeks planning what I'm going to buy or make my dog for his birthday. I'm pretty sure the only reason I remember my brother's birthday is because it's the same day as my dogs'.

7. I spend way more time thinking about my future dog than my future children.

8. Deciding who to marry was pretty easy, but trying to decide if I should get a Mastiff or a Black Lab first has caused huge levels of stress for me.
