Are you truly a dog person?

I am a dog person. I am also a cat person, rabbit person, lizard person, bird person and snake person.  I would happily get more animals if my husband, Larry, would let me (and if Irvine were zoned for pigs).  But, since I can barely keep up with the ones we have, I guess I will have to make do with our small clan. I have to fess-up, slurpy, waggy, silly dogs are my favorite animal.

This picture might seem strange for those non-dog people; Larry in a picturesque setting with his arm around Madison, our boxer.  But, my scrapbooks are overflowing with others just like them–Madison and me in front of our new house, Larry and Madison on a hill above the Golden Gate Bridge, Madison and me having a latte on Clement Street.  Not only was it because we loved that crazy dog like a child, but it was a logistical matter as well, since dogs can’t take pictures, it was always one of us with her, posing in front of the point of interest.

I still get teary talking about our Madison, who passed away years ago–just like missing an old friend.

I have my dog now, Hazel.  She isn’t the brightest K-9 in the world, but she sure is pretty.  Yes, she is wearing a dress, sorry. This is one reason why Larry doesn’t like to be seen in public with her.

So, you are totally following all this and think YOU are truly a dog person too?  I put together this quiz to see if you are a hard-core dog lover, or just a pooch poser.

Orny Adams, a very funny Los Angeles-based comedian, made this video about his cynophobia, or fear of dogs: Here.  Poor guy, we truly dog people can be a bit annoying at times.  It is just too hard for us to conceive of someone not adoring them the way we do.
