Something you’d be surprised to know about me is that I do not really like dogs. This mostly stems from my parents dislike of dogs and animals, as well as my older sisters’ fear of them. Since I never had a pet dog I didn’t really understand the big deal people made out of having them. Ever since I was little I always loved and preferred cats to dogs. I was more of an aprrecite from the distance type of person when it came to animals. All of my pets always died when I was little and I didn’t really want any after that. My aunts and uncles all had dogs, they had about two to four sometimes. I remember liking them when I was younger and I would pet them when I went yo their houses, but one day my sisters got scared of them and it sort of passed down onto me. Only my sisters are big dislikes of dogs, my brothers liked them and wouldn’t be afraid to go up to one and play with it. The fact that they bark so loud would also scare me as well, even if it was a sort of small dog. I didn’t grow up big on dogs and even now I rarely like them. When I was around 13-15 I actually hated them and didn’t want any near me. I couldn’t imagine having and taking care of one on my own. There are cute dogs out there but I don’t think I could be able to take of it. Now at this age, I feel like for protection reasons I would get a dog. It would have to be a very specific kind, I don’t think I would be able to just adopt any kind of dog. Maybe this relates to me feeling like I won’t be able to be a good owner or maybe it’s just a fear that was passed down onto me by my sisters. Both could be true either way, I think it was a normal response though. Imagine if your parents didn’t like animals and didn’t let you pet or play with any for most of your life. Then imagine that every time you saw a dog with your family, your sisters would start screaming and panicking. When I tell most people they just question me and act so surprised. I’m not sure what they want me to do about it, it’s not just dislike since there’s a little bit of a fear factor in there. I can’t really think of anything else that people would be surprised by. This is one of the few things people hear about me and act surprised in a way because most of them have family dogs that they honestly love. I don’t really care but usually when I’m there they have to put them away. This happens all the time at parties, why would you even have your dog out where people are eating food and everything is open. I don’t know this is just something I don’t like.
