If you love it when people notice your dogs does that mean you’re an extrovert? Or does your desire for other people to love your pups override your personality traits?

My husband is an introvert and he doesn’t find it nearly as thrilling to have other people notice Honey as I do.

Lucky you.

And your girls are irresistible.

I don’t know many people who dislike dogs. But I’m even shocked to find people aren’t interested in them at all. I kinda wonder what’s wrong with them. 🙂

I certainly saw that when I read about how much attention he gets from the school kids in your neighborhood. Hopefully he’s helping to jumpstart a life long love of dogs.

Lots of us in blogville appreciate Rita for the sweet girl she is. 🙂

And I also found C of D difficult. Brilliant but difficult.

I actually know someone who has a lot in common with Ignatius J. Reilly. And he’s as difficult to know as you’d expect that character would have been.

Yes, you’re right – I just wish others could see her as the sweet girl she really is, instead of the Cujo she can appear to be… Maybe some day.

I was on a kick of reading Pulitzer Prize winners a while back so read C of D. Have to confess… it wasn’t one of my faves – mainly because the main character didn’t strike me as a “lovalbe loser” – more just “loser.” I found him hard to root for. It’s an interesting (and sad!) story though about how JKT died before the book was published.

But you are experiencing a confederacy of dog lovers even if Rita would prefer to spend her time with you alone.

First of all, they’re attracted by Rita’s beauty and spirit and want to approach her.

And second, they’re dog lovers enough to ask (showing their respect for you and her) to approach her instead of rushing up and getting in her face.

So keep your eye on your pretty girl. But you are surrounded by a C of DL even if you don’t spend much time with them.

BTW, I’m happy to to see another John Kennedy Toole fan here. Or would you be a Jonathan Swift fan?
