Never had any pets growing up because of my family but considered myself a dog person for some reason.
Then hubby’s family got a small dog AND a cat. I kinda liked both for some time but then I found out that I’m allergic to pets. There was a very bad case of bronchitis when I would sometimes be unable to breathe at all. Started to keep my distance from both, especially the cat, because I had less of a reaction this way.
Then I had to take care of both because of family problems (some people dying, some living away for a long time). During this time the cat started to socialize with me more, demanding pets 50 times a day and I just couldn’t say no :3 I started to really love this little girl and I even have less allergy now.
Today I visited my best friend in her new place for the first time. She has a GIANT FREAKING DOG. He’s a good boi but not very polite, and as he put his paws on my shoulders and pushed me with all his 20+ kilos of weight and put his toothy face into mine the first thing that crossed my mind was “well, I didn’t have to lie to myself that I’m not scared of big dogs, because I am :(”
So, I guess I’m more of a cat person (easier to maintain, to get some personal space, blah blah blah) but I love our doggy anyway :D
