Not a Dog Person

The great question nature vs. nurture is brought to light here. Are babies born dog-people or cat-people? We all know the population is divided in half on this subject. What we don't all know, but I do, is that little Emma (the baby scrunching her face in the photo) lives in a home with cats. So, would you think that perhaps, she was born a cat person? Born thinking dogs are slobbery and gross? Born enjoying a pet that is smaller than her? Born liking a pet who prefers walking gracefully BY you, as opposed to bounding headfirst AT you? A cat purrs and nudges. A dog barks and demands you give full attention...now...now...NOW! What if our prediliction towards one pet or another is an indicator of whether we will be introverted or extroverted?

I leave you with this Deep Thought, by Jack Handey. It doesn't quite apply, but it's one of my favorites nonetheless:

If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong, though. It's Hambone.

Great! Never even thought of that, although I would say that since this picture was taken (Emma was about 8 months old) the dog has become her favorite animal, although she does still love the kitties. She is constantly walking around saying "puppies?" looking for my sister's dog's pictures on the computer. LOL! Great job K!
Thanks.
