I’m not much of a dog person. In fact, I’m basically allergic to everything with four legs. This has been a problem with Tabitha, as she loves basically everything with four legs. But while I will do almost everything for Tab, suffering all the time from pet dander is not one of them. That said, I do have a soft spot for animal videos. Who doesn’t? Especially if it involves otters. Sure, some cats. And yes, sometimes, dogs.
