I shouldn’t be so anti-dog I guess, but truly being around the noise has made me go from being an animal lover to a dog hater. I realize it isn’t the dogs’ fault but, the people who don’t do anything to take responsibility for their animals.

With kids it’s just the same thing for me, I have an aversion to loud noise and screaming. Some people seem able to cope but I don’t have any idea how. I have one cat and that’s enough work for me.
