My wife @MediKatie is a large dog fanatic. We currently have no pets, but she adores ever lab, pitty, and other full sized mutt we see around town. I have to admit I love a strong friendly dog. One that can be your friend, an equal in many ways, useful in a fight or to fend off thieves etc, big enough you won't step on, no yappy barking sounds. Dog breeds bred for smallness and cuteness don't do it for me. I had a cat as a kid/teen, fat tabby neutered male. He was a good guy. I do tend to like most animals, as long as they're not too annoying (crows), evil (rats), disgusting (centipedes), or destructive (deer). Okay, maybe I don't love all animals. Wait, I forgot mosquitoes, those fuckers.
Haha, have a great night.
