We Love Our Dogs!

I am proud to say that I am genetically predisposed to love dogs.

I have dog loving DNA!  

At the age of 5, Mama and Daddy brought home a puppy.  It

was a Scottie puppy named Bonnie.  Back then, while most of our

friends and neighbors had dogs, I don't think that society in general

was as crazy about dogs as we are today.  It's hard to sell a product

on television without a dog prominently featured somewhere.  Our

family was the exception.  We were crazy about our dogs.  They were

never "just" dogs, they were important members of the family.

I grew up listening to stories about all my Daddy's beloved dogs.

It wasn't just my Daddy who was crazy about them, everyone was.

Going through old family albums I see family members from several

generations ago with their dogs.  The beloved canine family members

went to the beach with them and on picnics.  They posed proudly in

family portraits around the Christmas tree.

It makes me wonder if there is a genetic marker for dog loving.

If there is, I certainly inherited it!
