Love at first sight

I had always thought extreme pet lovers were somewhat crazy, until I met the love of my life, my dog Isabelle. Now, you can call me an extreme pet lover. She is a black and white Chihuahua and I fell for her immediately. Before her, I did not even like to be around dogs much, I found them irritating and gross.

 Throughout my blog I am going to share facts and information about pets, as well as stories from pet owners. I hope many of you share the same love for pets as I do.

Here are six facts about dogs that many find surprising:
- More than 5 million puppies are born in the U.S. each year
- Dogs that live in Cities will live approximately three years longer than country dogs
- Small dogs usually live longer than larger breeds
- Dogs can survive on a vegetarian diet
- Dogs are considered color blind
- When a dog licks you, he is saying I love you
