I love many dogs, but I bear a large scar on my calf from a dog bite. It makes me crazy when people allow their dogs to approach me without finding out first from me if I'm comfortable with it. I know everyone says their dog won't bite, but sometimes dogs do. I spent a good bit of time in an ER over the chunk removed from my leg by a dog, and it changed my thinking.CShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136201152682543365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-1690024650229555292007-05-01T13:15:00.000-04:002007-05-01T13:15:00.000-04:00I LOVE #13!

If some big or even tiny hyperactive dog came over to me I would die! I can't stand cats who wrap their bodies around my legs the moment I visit a friend and some cats dare sit on my lap!!! and dogs too crawling over my shoulders and resting their faces on my leg. What is up with that?! I have dog and cat hairs on my suit!!! Yeah right! Why can't I aknowledge their "hello" from a distance like I do with people?<BR/><BR/>Asking multiple questions when it's obvious I don't know the answers: Well, I cannot stand it when someone just gives me half the details. Why even bother to tell me? It will just stir my curiosity. I'm with JB. I live with someone who gets irritated because I ask too many questions. I get irritated because I get baited and then there is no morsel, just a hook!Ces Adoriohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338000465619901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22678097.post-85484569551441990262007-04-28T05:23:00.000-04:002007-04-28T05:23:00.000-04:00Loved your ranting, KJ.All so true!
