Animals freakin' Love me!
I love it. I walk past dogs on the street and they stop to come over and say hello to me. When I meet new dogs at their houses they roll over in abject trusting submission begging me to scratch their bellies... they bring me their favorite muddiest chew toy... Owners give me confused looks and say "that's odd, he never acts like this with strangers". Tonight I met my friend's husband's dog who was a rescue that "doesn't socialize with anyone but Andy" even my friend, and well, after a timid hello the dog was my new best friend. Horses calm down when I talk to them, even stand-offish cats decide that I am their very own... I have a superpower! and it's a good one.
