Most of the people I work with love animals, not as much as I love mine! They all know know much I love my pups, and they laugh because I have pictures of my pups at my desk and none of my hubby!!!
I always tell the people I work with that I like my dogs a LOT more than I like most people!!
They even went so far as to put a "Beware of Dog" sign with a GSD on it on the back of my chair!!
