I just feel sorry for those who do not get or understand the love one can have for a dog. Hey, if dogs/animals aren't your "thing" - all the power to ya! I don't care if people don't want a dog, or an animal, or whatever, but at least understand WHY I could have such a strong bond with one. I think I used to hide a lot ... like, I never used to post many statuses on FB about Jackson, his agility, his tricks, etc, for fear of being made fun of. But now I am to the point where I just don't care! If people can't accept that that my dog is a HUGE part of my life, then they are missing out.
