I've always had cats, until recently. I'm crazy about them. I've done a lot of work with animal rescue, mostly cats, and I've fostered them for adopton. I know cats. I do believe that there's such a thing as dog people and cat people and I'm a cat people. Dogs have always seemed like sycophants to me, which appeals to many owners but not to me. OTOH, I've had friends tell me over the years that they thought I'd really love a dog if I ever had one so I thought I might give it a go at some point. I read about all the breeds and watched the breed-specific shows on Animal Planet and it seemed like a greyhound was a good match--a sweet, mellow dog with low overhead--plus I prefer to take a rescued animal both on principle and for practical reasons. I've seen TV shows about rescued greyhounds and people who had adopted them and it all seemed positive. I've encountered dogs I've liked--I washed stray dogs for years at the local animal shelter. I suppose I could go back to doing that and pick an animal to adopt that way, ignoring breed. Still noodling over this. Nothing in the works yet.
