[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]I dimly remember watching a movie or tv show in which someone was trying to quit smoking, and the advice he received was that he had to decide whether he was a smoker at heart or not. I think the adviser introduced the smoker to a man with one of those throat air holes who continued to puff cigarettes through the throat hole. The message was that THAT was "a smoker"... someone who was willing to put up with as much nastiness as was necessary to get his fix.

Similarly, I think a lot of people have not been so well served by the increasing popularity and prominence of dog ownership. It's easy to forget that dog ownership entails really living with an animal... and that's going to have very gross aspects for a lot of people. I couldn't do it, myself, but I think the responses suggesting that this is a non-problem for both PPs show you that true dog people don't mind.[/quote]

I love your analogy. It really resonated with me as a pet owner of 40 years.  [/quote]

Me too, because it's true.  We love our dogs to death, and deal with the daily dog stuff.  I needed some time to myself last night, so I decided to read downstairs in our family room, and our big dog followed me and plopped down next to me on the couch.  I laid my head on his warm soft body and we both fell asleep.  He's a "death row" rescue, and came to us with no baggage, just a lot of love to give.  His only fault?  He was one of too many dogs in crowded shelters that needed a home.  I'll deal with his "dogginess" - we get so much in return for so little.[/quote]
