Dogs

Dogman

You can probably see where my name and avatar come from. I've kept dogs ever since I got married and we are now on our 3rd. In general, I prefer dogs to people. Most are affectionate, a small number ignore me and an even smaller number show aggression. Nearly all dogs show their intentions and are much easier to "read" than people.

My dog will approach me and other family members for affection even when we've had a bad day.

A dog that I've never met before that is very affectionate can really cheer me up when I'm low and I see several local dogs while out walking mine.

  • Hi,

    Your little puppy sounds lovely. And because you are putting in the commitment, he is repaying you, which you are getting so much in return: in terms of love, affection, companionship,loyalty, a sense of security. And also helping you to come out of your shell.  I've learn't from you- if i keep interactions with some people short- i won't get any problems. My cat is like your puppy, he too sticks to me like glue, but i don't mind, it makes me feel safe.

    I'll adopt a dog, likely from a rescue one day-but i have to be sensible and make sure i could provide for it e.t.c but it's good advice and i know that they can make beautiful aditions to the family, as rescue places really work on the dogs to help them become well,feel safe and secure,  and be trained well and socialised. Would you work at a rescue again? i couldn't volunteer at an animal place, i get ever so distressed if any animal passes away as i tend to bond with them too much-even if they belong to somebody else.

    But once in a while i get sad because i can't have a doggie yet. They really are good for people with aspergers. Every time i meet one, i just feel safe, happy and calm.
