I am most certainly NOT an introvert (not that being one is bad). I just know that I am not in the catagory. But yet, I have 4 dogs (loving ones, with a huge desire for human companionship, all of them). Plus, I have two cats, who also require/demand their share of attention. We also have two birds, and in actuality, they require more attention than any of our others, and they get it. But I do enjoy those times away from home, minus my pets, in a social situation, but always, I am anxious to get back here to enjoy my pets!
