Puppy Love




Are you a dog or a cat person? Obviously, I am the former although I love most pets in general. Interestingly, a study using the Myers-Briggs PersonalityType Inventory found that individuals who are the Intuitive and Feeling types have an affinity for animals. Perhaps there are also different traits between a dog and a cat lover. My beloved pooches, Max and Jag are exactly what makes dogs a man's best friend; loyal and loving. Max is a ruby colored Cavalier King Charles Spaniel and he is 9 years old! Jag, a sheltie is 13 but still going strong. Like humans going for online dating, I did an online quiz to find out which dog breed is best suited for my needs, personality and lifestyle. The result was a perfect match! It was PUPPY LOVE at first sight! So, I will encourage you to try one of those quizzes before you run out to get a dog for the new year (ah, it's human nature to want new things to kick start a brand new year!). . Do your research, check out adoption schemes, talk to other responsible dog owners and involve family in the decision-making. Owning a dog or a pet is huge responsibility. The joy and love they bring are unimaginable!:-)
