I think my loves of dogs has made me step out of my comfort zone. I want to know more, do more and I think this love will help me when I move into my new house as I am already discussing volunteering at our local rescue and would love to foster (if I’m allowed!)

Life would be so lonely without a dog (or three, in my case) around. Sure, there are some unfortunately side effects of having them (like kidney damage, or the layer of dog hair forever on my carpet), but that’s okay. My dogs bring me joy, a sense of accomplishment, and love that I wouldn’t have otherwise. I’m probably obsessed with my dogs.

I’m pretty sure I think about dogs too much as well, but I’m not convinced that’s a bad thing. There are a lot of people in this world who are only concerned about themselves. It’s nice to know that there are those who are thinking of animals and looking after their well-being just like they look after ours. Much love, The Scottie Mom.

Maybe I am obsessed with my dogs, but so what?! They give me unconditional love and ask for nothing in return other than my unconditional love. Yes, I get dog- related ads online more than any other type, but most times I ignore ads altogether. I have more than enough to read between posts from my fellow pet bloggers, material from my courses at the Animal Behavior College, and an occasional book about some historic event. Sam says I’m obsessed with the dogs and my computers; but how else would I connect with all of my “blogging buddies” if not via the internet?! Besides, who is he to talk when he’s the one who spoils them with all the crap I’ve asked him countless times NOT to give them! 🙂

I think a person reaches the level of obsessed with their dog when it takes precedence over helping or doing something important for a fellow human being. My dog has helped us through our parent’s illnesses, a two deaths in the family and to control health problems. So, he does get the best food, plenty of attention and love. Obsessed? No. A passion- maybe.

My newest coworker asked me how I got into blogging, andI told him it was because nobody wanted to talk about Elka as much as I did. He considered this for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

Yup.

My love of dogs has brought me a great group of friends and for that I’m so thankful. 🙂

LOL! I see dog ads everyone online too. They know what I like. When I worked in the corporate world, I used to drive my co-workers nuts because I talked about my dog Sephi all the time. I talked about her more than other people talked about their own children. Many people today know the next question to ask me after, “How are you doing?” is “How are your dogs doing?”

I don’t think there is anything odd about it at all. As you say, it is no different than someone who spends all her free time thinking about and playing sports or cooking or even someone who spends a lot of time caring for children. I usually wince at such comparisons but dogs are a lot of work and it isn’t unbalanced to take that job seriously. Caring for another living thing is an unselfish act, even when they bring us so much joy.

From the sound of things, you have quite a few hobbies and you are one of the wisest people I know, if only online. Your fascination with dogs only proves that, in my opinion.

We always loved our dogs, but now with SlimDoggy our business, it kind of has taken over our lives. Luckily, I don’t mind that and welcome an excuse to obsess about my dogs 🙂
