I like dogs!

Last night Cassie and I went to this party some of her friends from graduate school held (there was pie! I was too full from dinner to eat much of it though).

The instant I walked in, this dog named Pepper jumped up on me, started wagging her tail and licking my hand and generally made it clear that my arrival was the highlight of her week.

There were about fifteen people at the party at this point, including Cassie, who I walked in with. Pepper ignored every one of them, she was all about me for some reason.

I've always considered myself a cat person. Cats are quiet, and composed, and fluffy and pettable. This dog was awesome though. We played tug-of-war with this stuffed animal, and fetch. For some reason she just loved playing with me.
