The more people I meet, the more I like my dog.
I know, I know, dogs are a great comfort.
But you (hopefully) are a human being and you have to learn how to deal with other humans.
If you're alone, dogs are an escape, or a babe magnet for lonely babes, depends on the situation (I've noticed puppies work great on the beach).
The point is, dogs are not humans. Women, not sex with womem, is a tough thing to deal with. The just think differently from us men. Deal with it.
I've wanted a great big dog for a long time. But not until I get a woman and children first.
I'm pretty sure I have my priorities straight.
