Growing up with dogs

[Randy]

Did you always have a dog during childhood?

Do you think this helps make you a better person or at least a more animal friendly person?

I did, Border Collies, specifically. LOVE THEM! I think it helps you acclimate to socializing, because dogs need to be properly socialized to prevent them from being antisocial bite machines.

I most certainly did, except for the year we lived in an apartment and our dog stayed at my grandmom's house.

I bet that was followed with a very happy reunion

I grew up with two dogs. An English Shepherd and a beautiful little dog of uncertain ancestry that greatly resembled a fox, although she was clearly a dog.

Yup!

Very nice, helps reduce separation anxiety for the pup, too.

I always had dogs growing up. Been thinking about getting one for a couple years now but still haven't pulled the trigger.

I have a treadmill. You think a dog would want to walk on it?

I grew up with dogs.

I love dogs!

But I find they don't last very long.

Especially the big ones, the ones I really like.

I get super attached and when they pass, it is like losing a family member.

So, because of that, I don't own dogs anymore.

I do have and love my cats. Those guys will probably outlive me lol.
