Actually that was more the Normal back then....cats and dogs outside, do any of you recall a Dog House? So I was Never attached to animals.... Huge exoebse and RESOIBSUBUKUTY, which I can live without.

The other day one of the guys on my radio was talking about a dog emergency in his home, he has 2 dogs, well the little 7lb mix was having seizures and losing blood.....so the mom and daughter got the dog wrapped in a towel and off to pet hospital, final bill could be in $1000's to save him...

The guy talked about growing up with dogs in his house and he was choked up talking about the dog relationship....

I;ve heard stories before and know I don't want that stressor in my life....

I'll bet others can relate on this one.

My grandkids tried to talk me into ownershjip but I knew better and knew myself. There are 1000's of dogs in LA shelters.

Dogs are definitely not "stressors" but I always had a pet growing up, whether it be a cat or a dog. Forming the bond with that animal is the hardest part, however.

My friend Billy had a nice dog Named Jordon.... He was a big boy..... The first time I met him he was kinda agressive and protective but that dog warmed up to me like you wouldnt believe......Within a week I was going into his dog house.... We were the best of friends :)

I mi$$ Billys Family..... They moved to San Diego in the 80s.... I stayed talking to them but not long........
