A look back. It goes on and on. Now, think of a dog entering, a big dog with a big tail. Tail wagging, drool dripping, tongue lolling. Furniture bumped, tabletops tail-swept.
People have a lot in common with cats and dogs.
Perhaps that is why they are our favorite pets. We check out the possibilities and options before carefully committing ourselves. We are also the ones who frequently have to clean up the mess left by dog people. Dog people rush in, not giving much thought to consequences. They think that problems need not be headed off, since if they happen they can be fixed later, usually by cat people.
