How sad and uncharitable. Why SHOULD we all think alike???? I took it the same way. Our dogs are always there for us even when our humans are not. Then again, Norma, you do sound grumpy today. So, I can see why people took it the other way. But, I also didn't see anyone attacking, only sharing their opinions or questions on what they perceived Norma's post meant. The written word, especially on the internet, is not reliable. So, clarification and questioning the meaning is a good thing, right?
