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

    Makes me miss my two dogs at home :( And I honestly didn't know that small dogs live longer than larger breeds. I would think it would be opposite. I'm excited to read more!

    Thanks everyone! Danielle, I will try to find out why that is. I was thinking that maybe it is because country dogs have more freedom and would be more likely to be hit by a car or be stolen. I'm glad many of you are pet lovers too!

    I am the biggest animal lover so I know what you mean! I have a cat Sassy and toy poodle Jax. I think I would be shipped off to a crazy home if i didn't have them around all the time.

    I wonder why some dogs feel the need to say I love you like 300 times in a row then. But interesting topic for sure. I have a pet wolf who is the sweetest thing you will ever meet.

    I'm now justified for only wanting smaller dogs, as well as wanting to live in a city...thanks!
