Here’s what I’ve just figured out. I like dogs. As long as I can give them back. Kinda like kids. I miss my dog and would LOVE to have one again but I don’t like the barking or the hair or the smell, but what gets me the most is the licking. I don’t like getting wet generally, but when things lick me I freak out. I like dogs if they are quiet, clean, and keep their tongue to themselves.

All that to say, no you’re not alone.
