Almost Converted

Normally, I'm a cat person.  I find felines simply irresistible and would sit for hours quite contentedly with a big ball of fur purring like a lawn mower in my lap.  While I'm pretty sure that I'm still a cat lover through and through, I did meet a dog last weekend at Wormfarm that almost made me change my mind.

That's Trouser in the photo above.  He was the big black farm dog that greeted me with a well-aimed lick on my nose as soon as I got out of our car.  I think I could grow to love this dog.  He could keep up with the kids one minute and then collapse and totally chilax the next.  His big bushy tail is thick with spiky burrs, nature's own Super Strength Velcro, but he doesn't seem to mind.  I think one could learn a lot about the good life by hanging out with a dog like Trouser.
