I am not sure why, but I have never really been a dog person. This may sound odd to those of you who either know me or know of our annual Mother Dog Spa Day or the perpetual treats I have for the walk by doggies in Providence, but I have always loved the connection of people, especially women, and their dogs and I guess that has made me a dog person by osmosis.
