I love my dogs equally - but during my lifetime - there was one dog that I especially loved. I think it is because I was single and had her for so long - just her and me. I lost her and now I have two dogs - and honestly, I don't love either one more than the other.
I can tell you though that my father had a dog that I never did like too much. It was a loveable old dog, but it drove me nuts. It had habits that drove me up the wall. It snored and made all sorts of snorting noises all the time - and laid around licking its balls and stomach all the time - and making all sorts of noise when it did that. Poor old thing. I wasn't around it when it was a puppy and while it was younger. I just ended up being around it when it was old and bothersome. I still feel guilty about the way I felt toward that dog. Not good!
I'm sure all of us have been around a dog now and then that we just weren't crazy about - although most of us would love any dog in the world....and should.....
