Not sure if your like us, but when someone says they don't like dogs, there are no shades of grey! We don't trust them and we think they're serial killers, bol :0)>
Barring a traumatic incident, what's not to like about dogs? You don't like how they brighten your day with just one look? You don't like that adorable quisical look they give when you introduce a new squeaky toy? You don't like a living being that just wants to be with you and love you unconditionally?
Q: What's wrong here?
A: It could be as simple as the language!
If we really listen, most people are saying they don't like the consistent effort they have to make with dogs as opposed to cats or other pets! They don't want to rush home to walk them, they don't want to board or find sitters for weekend getaways, they don't want to scoop the poop, in short what they don't like is the acknowledged resposibility it takes to maintain a thriving and happy dog!
Quick fix, change the statement! Instead of I don't like dogs, maybe say what specific thing your not keen on, like, I just don't want the responsibility of a dog right now, or I need to grow up and take care of myself before I can take care of a dog! At least your statement is more palitable to dog lovers like us, and your not branded a serial killer! Bol :0)>
