The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for December 21, 2020

The photos plus all the dog hair on his clothes.

No pet photos in my wallet. They’re all on my phone.

A true dog person would also have photos of dogs other than his own dogs.

I was in the store watching a fellow pick out a dog dish, then put it back and get a smaller one. The he grabbed a bag of puppy chow, which made me ask him if there was a “new baby” in his house. “Oh, yes!” he gushed, and pulled out his phone to show me photos of his puppy. He told me her name, and generally acted as if he was a new father. Adorable. Just adorable.

Yup, my phone is full of my dogs and my students…

No, that’s an “obsessive” dog person….

Guilty….I have hundreds of photo’s of Teddy. Especially when he’s all curled up and asleep…just to cute to pass up those sweet photos. Oh and don’t get me started about the videos opening his Christmas gifts. Yes you could say I’m obsessed with the little guy.

I can so relate to this.

We are Lucky enough to have kids; They were brought up with our pets…cats, dogs, all part f our Family. Our kids became good, décent people because they learned to care for animals, to respect them and to love them. Their children are the same; thèse lessons are learned from example.
