Dogs

Dogs are one of those 'love em or hate em' kind of things. Some people are literally terrified of them, while others, like myself, find it hard not to reach out and pat them.

I've had three dog companions over my life, Zoe, Jax and Buka. God bless them. They gave such loyal and affectionate love and devotion to me and my family.
