I only had cats for years, loved cats, swore I preferred cats.

Early into the pandemic, despite my hesitation, my wife talked me into getting a Shiba Inu and my life completely changed. I love that dog more than I have ever loved anything other than my wife. I’m not sure how it happened, I really feel like some paternal instinct kicked in that just doesn’t for cats.

I used to think dogs were horrible and I hated how bars and restaurants were beginning to allow them, but my brain completely rewired in less than a year in a way I have never experienced and I have no logical explanation. I take my dog literally everywhere I can, I’m even in a Shiba meetup group. I’m a different happier person.
