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.

  • Thank-You- you've helped me again- i couldn't put my finger on it, but think your right, animals i.e. dogs do provide all that, which aspies don't necessarily get from people due to not being able to connect to certain personalities so easily probably through no fault of our own.

    It's nice to hear your puppy is making you feel secure. I think most animals bond with their mummy's/daddy's if their treated properly. They have a part of the brain called the cerebellum-which stores learning, emotion and behaviour, so they will form bonds. Obviously it is a smaller capacity than a humans-but they still bond e.t.c

    It's nice to hear you got so much from fostering. But sorry it caused heart ache too.
