Truth - Dog People

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.  Who let the dogs out? You, and everyone else. There are dogs everywhere.  So many dogs, a young Obama might salivate at the thought [that was a joke by the way - you PETA types relax].  While running through the local subdivision as part of my triathlon training, I counted at least 53 dogs in a six block area. That may or may not be alot of dogs, but I think it is.

When I was a kid, we could count how many dogs there were in the hood. Now, everyone has a dog it seems.  Some have 2 or 3.  It's just absolute crazy mayhem if you ask me. What's up?

People go dog crazy and I just don't get it. Yeah dogs are cool, cats aren't...but still.  You spend so much time and money, and you get caught up in this industry...it just doesn't make sense.  I know the dog breeders disagree; and I'm not dissing their business.  My issue is people who treat dogs like people, and spend more time with their pets than people.  Its as if, they have to have a dog, because all of that movie and television indoctrination over the years makes them "need one".

I for one have had enough of it all. It's crazy.  Stop buying dogs, stop breeding them.  It will go away.  Save dogs for the blind, and for police work. Then then then...you get attached to these "best friends" & "family members" who die on you.  So what do you do to make the pain go away?  You get another dog and repeat the process.  Hell you could have 7 dogs in your lifetime.  All that death?  All that sadness? All that time spent cleaning up after them instead of looking for a cure for cancer, or perhaps using that money to start a business?

Our priorities are whacked.  It's a dog gone world, and I just shake my head.  You dog people are freaking weird!

I love my dogs.
