I'm a talker......can you tell?

My husband, who is quite shy at first, always laughs at me because I strike up converations with people everywhere! Ballgames, grocery store, restaurants, shopping, waiting in line, etc. It makes me feel uncomfortable when people don't say anything back, especially people walking their dogs. Just last weekend, we were at an art festival in a downtown park and there were dogs everywhere! This one lady was walking her Weimerarner (sp?) in the midst of all those folks, and when I stopped and asked if I could pet him, you'd think I committed a serious crime! Why would you bring your dog to a public gathering like that and not expect people to want to pet him?? I love it when people stop and say things to me about my dogs. I will say that most dog people are GREAT!!!!
