I wanted to make a comment on this quote though... I honestly don't believe a person is truly happy alone. That's just my belief. I love my alone time but would never want to live the rest of my life truly alone. I've met a few people in my life who live really sad lives really and they act as if they're happy, but you can see by looking in their eyes that they're not. I know that's a little bit O/T but I just wanted to state my opinion on that. Yes, some adult dogs would prefer to be the only dog in the house but they were not born that way; they were born in a pack. Humans create a dog who wants to be the only dog by spoiling them, and then they learn that when another dog comes into the picture, attention goes off me but I don't think it's a natural way of dogs being. Dogs are highly social creatures who, in my opinion, need interaction of a lot of friends of their own species to fully live their life. |
I thoroughly agree with this! Those people who would rather live alone, have learned that is easier for them. Some people just don't have the skills to cope with other people, and many have had traumatic events and huge betrayals, by what they thought were their loved ones.
