When i was little and living on the marine base I wandered away from home to the neighbors dog an afghan hound, very pretty dog so I hung out there petting it and it was very nice..
When I had to leave, like any child would, I went to hug the doggy goodbye..The neighbor rushed me home with a rag trying to stop the blood coming out of my head and I almost lost an eye.
I guess what I'm saying is that the ones that bark don't always bite, and the ones that wag their tails aren't always as nice as they seem.
I still love dogs, cats, horses most of the furries (a few of the non furries like chameleons) but I've been bitten, scratched, kicked and trampled by a few individuals.
Either I'm just stupid and don't learn, or it's the fact that you can find bad apples in everything and good apples as well.
The only thing I will have nothing to do with is big nut-eating birds..they hate me, I hate them it's all good.
Geese, ducks, hawks all of those are good but macaws, african greys, most other sharp beaked pet birds just try to kill me I think no matter how nice I am to them.

They are just unpredictable.
It seems almost everytime i see a dog it will start yelling at me and bouncing around like it wants to do harm to me. I think (make that I know) that they are actually aware of the dislike i have for them and respond accordingly.
