I’m about as neurotic as they come and I’d be lost without my dogs. They remind me that all those little things that make me neurotic just aren’t that important. Koly and I have an incredibly strong relationship, but that doesn’t mean he always wants to listen to me ;0) I doubt we could ever pass the CGC test… Kol would be distracted by anything with a half decent smell.

As a fellow neurotic person, I definitely need my dogs to help keep me sane. 🙂

I think you and my mom probably have a lot in common. I bet you have a great relationship with Honey! You obviously love her a lot and work really hard to give her an amazing life. She’s a lucky dog! Trust me, when I was in puppy jail I met a lot of really unlucky dogs. Honey is the exact opposite.
Even when we really love our people, we sometimes just get distracted by really exciting things. Or we wake up on the wrong side of the bed and have a weird day. But it doesn’t mean we don’t think that our people are the best thing in the whole world 🙂

Aliens abduction or not, I think Honey is a Honey of a dog!!! (Sorry, maybe I’ve been abducted by aliens, too.) Congratulations to both of you on her new found Citizenship. Way cool.

Oh yeah, the CGC. I was so excited that Micron actually passed the thing that I told everyone. Ok, I kinda told everyone who didn’t know Micron, because I couldn’t stand the response of “Really?”
And just when I thought that was stressful, I moved on to the next logical thought, which is pet therapy work. He’s got his CGC, so he’ll be great! No, no. He’ll be perfect!
Oh and that therapy dog test? A disaster. I was so nervous I was the one who needed therapy.
We did pass. Barely. And it took a committee to decide our fate. I still cringe when I think of how wound up I had myself.

I would have thought the same thing if someone told me it was about relationship. BOL! And I agree with Kristen, who isn’t a little neurotic?? I love walk time with my dogs, it gets me into them and out of my head. 🙂

Congratulations!

I’m glad you passed 🙂 Honey is a trooper and you two are so great for each other! I think we are neurotic because we really care – nothing wrong with that! We never tried the CGC with Cali, but we still think she is a great dog 🙂

My crazy peoples definitely would be crazier without all of us in her life to keep herself busy, that’s for sure. She also tries really hard to work on my relationship with her, and although I do love her of course, sometimes a dog just has to be a dog and check out other interesting things in the environment. Otherwise, we end up feeling smothered.

Personally I cling to my bundle of neuroses because I read somewhere that neurotics do not become psychotic. It may not make sense, but it gives me comfort. Most animal lovers seem to be neurotic.
