I am a dog lover. I have always had a dog or been around dogs. I know some people are cat people. My best friend is a cat person. I made fun of him for that fact and remained loyal to my favorite animal the dog even when I adopted my brother’s cat while he has moved away. At first me and the cat (Bob) kept to each other’s side of the apartment but over the year we have bonded and dog-nab-it that cat has earned my affection (despite being allergic to cats). Animals are one of the most amazing things on this planet. Unable to speak but able to communicate so clearly with us. Living alone can at times make you feel invisible going days without even touching/talking to another human, can be hard. But Bob always seems to know that I am there and that makes his day. Someone to pet him and feed him and play with. I guess I am a convert for now but I know one day I will have a dog again but not while I have a Bobcat in the apartment:)
