You may be right.
However, from experience, real tough guy will always stick up for the animals, especially domesticated dogs. Loyalty goes both ways.
Our German Shepard would die fighting to protect me and mine, and she'll get the same loyalty in return.
The comment about dog lovers, animal lovers being wussies was out of line. Some of the biggest, bad asses I know are into their dogs. I am one of those that will stand fast with my dog. She protects me, I protect her. Period. End of story.
I hear you.
I'm married to a Sicilian biker who literally grew up streetfighting on Federal Hill in Providence RI.
[the 50s/early 60s...back in the good ol' bad ol' days]..;))
Only a suicidal fool would call him a wussy over his love for our dogs.
Hell, he knocked the crap outta one of his best buds because the guy jerked his -own- arthritic dog by its aching legs and made it scream while hubby was standing there.
You just don't hurt *any* animal while he's anywhere near.
"P*ssy" he ain't....not by a long stretch.
Where I live, the good ol' boys have 2 immutable rules.
No insulting the wife.
No kicking the hound.
Break either rule at your own risk.
For myself, I am a loyalty fanatic and I learned that from the greatest teachers of all; my dogs.
They'd go the distance for me and I can do no less for them.
Hubby and I discussed this at the outset of the NO mess and I flatly stated that, in the event of disaster *here*, I will either leave with my dogs or die with them.
Either way, we stay together, regardless.
Does that make me a "nut"?
Don't know, don't care.
That's just how it is,plain and simple.
