I'm not ashamed that these are all true for me

I like animals more than people!

I think animals make better people than most people do. I type this as my large, sassy bird is sitting on my stomach, making it impossible to actually get up.

I like the one about refusing to date someone if your dog has ever growled or snarled at them.

I find this especially funny because my parents' dog never liked my XH. After I got divorced, my entire family informed me that because she was the only one smart enough to see through him, Emmy (the dog) would have to approve all of my potential dates from that point forward. And my reaction to this was a legitimate, "Yeah, that makes sense, actually."

DH's exG gave Abby to DH as a gift. Abby totally peed on her, didn't like the ex at all. She LOVES me!

Animals always know!

I will also add to this that nothing in a book ever affects me emotionally UNLESS it involves harming an animal. You can kill off however many characters and I will keep reading eagerly, but kill off somebody's pet?! Oh no, we're done here!
