PEOPLE WHO TALK TO DOGS

I must first say that during our 52 years of wedded bliss we have only had a two year period with out a dog.  This was because my mother lived with us and was a bit tottery and we feared that she would trip or fall over an energetic young dog.

Shortly after my mother's passing, we brought a new member into our house.  Darby, the Airedale puppy.  We love her and her weird mind set but I don't believe that an Airedale is for anyone in their 70's.

We were out running a few errands and we took Darby with us.

We were stopped at a light and we noticed that the guy next to us was talking to Darby and smiling.  She had her furry, ragtag head out the window and seemed to be acknowledging his comments.

As we pulled away, Dianne said, "I like people who talk to dogs."

I agree, those who talk to dogs are real people.  They recognize man's best animal friend and don't place themselves above them and I have found that these folks don't tend to think of themselves above others, help more readily, are more kind and understanding than the animal in the house haters.
