@TheHorse Absolutely. I've been helping dogs for many years now. Did few rescues on local dogs and gave them a new loving home. I can't keep all my rescues with me as my job isn't a high paying one. There was even one time local media caught wind of my rescues and i was featured on a local news outlet. I';m not bragging, of course.

No. But my uncle's second dog really liked me. It was a labrador and even when he was puppy he would suddenly turn stand up almost straight put its paws on my shoulders, lick me all over the face and run away...dogs can be so affectionate.

@TheHorse ..Yeah..they are extremely affectionate. :) When it was a small pup it used to climb my lap, and we were playing a lot in the yard. :)

OH yes and they like to visit with me also. Today a friend stopped by and Honey went out to say hello then when she came in BonBon went out and said hello to him. I wasn't sure how BonBon would react as she doesn't often get to meet people but she was just fine as she has such a sweet personality. Our guest just wanted to sit outside and talk so that is what we did.
