Either way, I just am not a dog person. My favorite animals are
horses, but I love my barn cats too, and have 14 of them. They keep
the mice population down too, and one of them also kills rats. I
have
had dogs, and I have even tried to force myself to enjoy them, but I
just dont care for em. The last dog I had, (puppy) drove me nuts
with it's 24/7 barking. I gave it to a guy who wanted a dog, and the
dog saved his life by barking when a house fire started during the
night. I guess there's a reason for everything.....

I totally understand. Lots of people aren't dog people, and that's
fine.
It's the people that insist on having them and not taking proper care
of
them that are the problem. When I was young we lived on a ranch and
we
had barn cats too, but they were truly feral. No way was anyone
getting
close enough to pet them or anything like that, and they were never
fed
"cat food."

Even the so-called "good dog owners" are often slime. Tell me what's
wrong
with this conversation, which I've had with numerous people walking
their
dogs. I've enclosed the conversation in plus signs so you know where it
begins and ends:

I do not consider a dog owner who walks their dog past anothers house,
allowing the dog to urinate or defecate on someone elses property, a
"good dog owner." They are slime IMO, and should be publicly caned. :-)
