Do people think you're wierd just because your dog is your best friend?

    nope, most of my family and friends are dog lovers themselves.

    Definitely. My friends are usually annoyed when I start talking about my dogs! But, to be honest, I value my dogs opinion more than their most of the time [&:].  None of them are 'dog people'.
    My parents think its strange that I would rather hang with my dog than do regular "teenage things" like going to the mall or something. But, really, even when I am at the mall I'm usually looking for something I can treat my boys with when I get back! [:D]


     
    Exactly!  My friends are dog people, but not as much as me!  My parents also think that it's strange, and they keep trying to sign me up for things (like clubs and teams) that I don't want to do.

    I have ONE friend that is almost worse than me.  It's great to have her in my life.  Most of my other friends put up with me.  I have one couple that does not understand @ all why someone has to run home to let their dog out or feed it.

    Im pretty much the lunatic of the bunch[sm=rofl.gif] ;pretty much all our friends are big dog lovers!  Although, truth be known, at work, they call me the "dog lady", shhhhhhhh.

     My friends says it not healthy to send this much time with Blue or any of my animals. I'm happy sending my time with them and they love me no matter what.

    I guess I'm so lucky all of my friends are dog people, so when we go to visit we just load the pack up and take them with us.  Luckily almost all of my friends dogs are well socialized and just view the visits as playtime.  I have noticed that since we moved from the apartment to the farm (boonies) our friends come with their dogs more than we go with our dogs.  I guess room to run counts for something. 
     
    I will state that I'd never pick a walk on the beach with the dogs over a day of shopping with the girls.  But i could see us dropping the dogs off at daycare so that we could pick them up and go to petsmart before returning home.

    yes I'm sure most of my fiends think its kinda crazy, especially when I say things like I should get home my dog needs to go outside or go for a walk haha. Also my dad is totally not a dog person he thinks all dogs should be kept outside and that the end of it, so I've given up on talking to him about any of the dogs, my mom on the other hand is just like me she belives all animals are just like family, and are very fun and enjoyable to be with. At least I've got her!!

    Do my friends think I am weird...yes!  But they are weird too or they wouldn't be my friends.  Anyways what truly is the definition of a normal person...it varies from person to person each of us has our own definitions...therefore we are all WEIRD!  LMAO

    As someone who had a HORRIBLE and isolated childhood, animals have always been my best friends. Domestic ones, wild ones, even bees and beetles (but not yellow jackets)! As a kid I made friends where I could, LOL!

    I have people friends, too. As a professional musician and teacher, I'm a role model and find people asking me questions about dogs a lot. I-dog has been great for teaching me how to answer a lot of those questions. They respect that Sofia goes to work with me and is so well-behaved. (Lately she's been entertaining us during lessons by having WILD dog dreams, burfing in her sleep--you know, barking with her mouth closed--and doing wild doggy paws. [:D])

    I'd just die if something happend to Sofie. Sofie, my son, my boyfriend, Sofia's sister Athena. Those are the top most important people.

    Yaaaay!!!
     
     
    In my circle of friends, out lives revolve around our dogs.  In fact, whenever we go to each others' houses, we just grab our dogs' leashes and go!  Dogs are welcome with open arms at my house! lol
    I'm just saying, I'm definitely the nuttiest of them all!
