I prefer their company over the company of a person.The feeling I get from them cannot be matched. They mean the world to me.

So dont tell me that Sin is "just a dog" or my cats are "just animals" and I wont tell you that your child is "just a child"
Mike and I plan our weekends around Mac. If we must go somewhere without him, we don't stay long because we do not like leaving him alone. The few people we know that aren't dog people (mostly family) comment that its silly that we do this and its annoying to them. Whats annoying to me is people that don't like to have dogs around.

He's our son. We're a family. Luckily most of our friends have dogs and adore Mac.
