Have you ever noticed that some people are just plain crazy

about their dogs while others just have a dog. You know what

I'm talking about, don't you? Some people talk about their dog

like others discuss their children.

One day, while waiting in line at the local Wal-Mart, I overheard

two people talking about their children, or at least I thought they

were talking about their children. One of them said something

about Cheryl being real fussy about her breakfast. He said

that Cheryl loved her eggs over easy and that the bacon had

to be not too crisp but not too undercooked.

The lady the man was talking to agreed that her Freddie was

just as picky about his hair. It seems that Freddie gets upset

if she doesn't comb his hair to the side the right way. She said

if she combs the hair to the right Freddie gets angry.

Let me tell you, when the man started talking about Cheryl not

liking to go outside in the cold weather to her business, I was a

little startled. Then I realized that these were two dog people.

There dogs were their "kids".

I have a dog too. I love my dog. His name is Ozzy and he is a

Cairn Terrier, but I don't cook him breakfast and I sure don't let

him dictate how I comb his hair, but I do love him very much.

So what makes some people so head over hills crazy about their

dog and what makes some seem to be a little more normal? I'm

not real sure and that is why I wrote this page. I was hoping you

would tell me.

If you have an idea, just email me by clicking here and tell me your

thoughts. When I get enough responses, I will compile them and

send them to you.

I hope you have a great day and I hope you enjoy your dog no

matter which way you treat it.
