Aren't we a little old for this?

These are the same twits who assume that if you are "into animals" when you are middle aged that you are filling "something missing" from your life. None of them understand the natural connection you feel and that lasts your entire life, but those who have it truly appreciate that gift!

I will trust someones dog alot quicker than people the leash is attached too...No kidding- I actually trust dog people that have the age " under their belts".. They are more capable of understanding compassion, caring and giving of themselves..

If you are "too old" for love, then you are too old to live. Tell them that, next time, as there is no love like the unconditional love a pet will give you.

That's a good one. I've never had anyone tell me I'm too old to be soooo involved with my dogs. I've had quite a few people ask why I would want a dog. I gave them every reason in the book I could think of.

Good answer for the really troublesome and judgemental ones!
