This week was an unusual one, and it ended with someone calling me crazy and about the 4th person that week to look at me with part amusement and part pity maybe....The topic was that fact that I'm looking for a second dog. You are either a dog person or your not, and I understand that many people don't understand my love for animals and my dog Dutchess. But to be quite honest - I like dogs alot more than I like people for the most part. They are simple, giving and caring and just not complicated. What you see is what you get. I have spent 9 weeks of the last 3 and 1/2 months alone due to the fact my husband was working up north. My dog Dutchess is always excited to see me and always up for a jog or a game of catch. I can rely on her to be there for me no matter what. And honestly I don't care if people don't get it. The people that matter to me and that have met Dutchess get it.
So the hunt for dog #2 begins. And this is as much for Dutchess as it is for me. She home during the day and I would love for her to have a companion that likes her (the cats - not so much)... I really want a German Shepherd and I'm not sure if it will happen as the breeder we know doesn't think the litter they were expecting is going to happen, we are trying to find another breeder but I would be happy with another lab....they are a loving, affectionate, playful breed.
The reason for the love of German Shepherds? Well they are beautiful, powerful, smart dogs that are extremely loyal. One of my favorite movies - I am Legend has a wonderful Shepherd Sam who demonstrates how smart and loyal these dogs are.
Honestly each to their own. If I want to have dogs - I'm going to and I don't really see why people feel the need to judge. It's my life!!
