There are days when I truly do not like dogs

Mostly they are few and far between, but today is one of them. It is not just that i am sporting 2 bandaids within an hour of up and close personal contact with a couple of them either. It is their noise level today. I just want them to shut up and go lay down, which they finally have done but it took 4 hours for them to figure it out. And four hours of them driving me nutz has driven me nutz.The problem is, dogs like excitement, and I don't. And they suck at handling excitement anyway, it just winds them all up and sure as poop, someone is going to over react to something. Old not dead, old, not dead...I keep telling myself that today, except, deep down the dead part sounds decidedly more peaceful. My friend is coming over to pick up the money for the rabbits so they are all going to get wound up again soon because i am sure they will find that exciting and I won't. Today is one of those days when I just wished we only rescued sheep. Sheep are such lovely and peaceful creatures. Even when they are excited, they are relatively non disruptive. The worst i get at feeding time is some baaaa'ing and Kissy knocking on the feed room door with her foot to hurry me up. Occasionally one of them will accidently set on my foot or run into me too fast. Once in a blue moon they get irritated with each other and then have a non-lethal butting contest with both parties wrapped in a hundred pounds of soft wool. They don't bite. they don't fight, they don't pee or poop in the house, they don't rip the guts out of stuffies, or argue over squeaky toys either. They don't bark and rarely jump, and they don't drool on me when I am eating my dinner. Sheep are way more civilized than dogs and for me, today, they make a nicer companion animal to be around.
