I thought I was a dog person, and I am. When I was a kid, Dad allowed us to have a little cranky cocker spaniel. I tried a couple of times to bring home kittens I'd found, but he threatened to kill them if they got in his way. Scared me.
Years later, first apartment, dog. Lab mix. Sweetie. Yes, I love dogs. But when he died, I figured apartment dwellers didn't need pets. Wrong.
A boyfriend, shortly before exiting, got me a cat. I liked the cat way better than the boyfriend, actually, so it was a good deal. Since, I've loved five more cats, three still with me. I would love to have a dog, but I work too many hours for a dog and don't have a secure back yard. For now, I love my kitties. When I retire, I'm getting a lap dog.
