I do not have children and most of my friends do. My thought is if they can tell endless stories about their children (and usually I don't mind) then I can tell stories about my dogs. One good thing is that most of these friends also have pets.
But yes, sometimes I do need to consider the crowd and know when it is appropriate to talk about my animals. I have a friend that I use to work with that is deathly afraid of ALL animals. But she'd listen to my stories and ask me how they were doing if they were sick or injured. I thought that was nice of her.

Don't you worry about coming here and talking to us. I love to hear stories and see pictures of the beautiful Clover girl.
