I get teased about it all the time at work but it is usually good natured and I usuallly don't mind. If you can't understand the way I feel about animals in general and my dogs specifically then I don't need you as a friend. One older volunteer in my library quit and I lost her friendship because of her attitude and my mouth. she said to me (In a really disgusted voice) "Who in their right mind would want three dogs?" Without thinking about what I was saying and before I could get my temper under control I blurted out "Who in their right mind would want to have 8 children?" Which was exactly how many she had. I didn't feel good about it but I think if she said it to me today I would still respond in the same way. It is all a matter of personal choice and I have made mine. |
