And since that was such a long post, I'll try not to monopolize the whole thread!
RB Lacie was never really my dog, even though I owned her first and before kids, other dogs, etc. She was just a really aloof dog who only tolerated every person she ever met, myself included.
RB Queenie, Aspen and Lucky were my son's dogs, from the first time they saw him. Lucky and my RB Sadie actually much preferred men to women, and would have gladly picked my dad, my son or my husband over me.
Georgie loves everyone equally. Anyone with a lap they will let him crawl into is his most favorite person in the world.
Sequoia was always my dog, from the first time I picked her up at four weeks old. Vanilla was my dog from the time I put her in my car and drove away from the shelter. Pepper was mine totally, 100% ... she won't even look at anyone else ... from the time I first coaxed her out from under my bed, after her hiding there for a solid month after I first brought her home.
"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
