I am not owned by a dog of our own. I very much like dogs. They are so dear and perky and warm hearted and it gives me a lot of pleasure to see the dogs belonging to our neighbors trotting down the street taking their owners for a walk. I can only see it as a good thing.
I have decided that I like people best who like dogs and cats.
We have three cats and we all three spend a lot of time keeping our home clean because of them, but they are silly and affectionate and such good company and worth the extra work, although they really like Helene best.
In our small village of 53 homes I would guess that about a quarter of the homes have pets.
