What a handsome array of dogs, Anu! But I couldn't live with anyone who wouldn't agree to sharing me with a dog and one or two cats. My husband wasn't used to pets but when we began living together, he accepted my menagerie of 3 dogs and 2 cats. Those pets are gone and have been replaced. Yes, it is hard to lose them, but I couldn't live without them.

I do love that you make dog friends wherever you go. My neighborhood has many dogs and most people walk their dogs. I know the owners by their dog's name rather than their human name!
