It's said that dogs are like their owners.
I wonder if that's true.
If anything, isn't it rather that the dog owning people are like their dogs ?
No, even more than that, when those people get a dog, they may tend to choose a dog with a character alike their own.　
An active guy likes to take a walk with an active dog, people who tend to shut themselves

*waves* I'm back ... I think it's true. But it really seems that it's mostly the fact when it comes to dogs. Don't know why but I can totally see that at the people I know who has dogs.
When I think about my cats I can't say one of them is really like me but I don't know, perhaps you can't see it yourself and every one would see that I'm totally like one of them. I don't know. I can't also say that one of the cats is like Alex.

Hmm, I think I stick to the dog-theory then.

*waves* welcome back!! Just saw your entry and I'm glad Denmark was such a good time for you!!

Yeah, I think with dogs it's the most obvious...but I also agree with you that pet owners might not see it themselves. I think that's why he wrote the line about the guy coming to like rain before even realizing it. And maybe sometimes there are just very few character traits that seem alike. For example some pets don't make a big fuss when they are being taken to the vet, but some turn into little monsters, and so some people are eually afraid of doctors, while other's are not (that much). Maybe it's the things we don#t really think about, but that are just natural to us, and thus.

Or maybe it's really just dogs *lol*

yes...or just rennmäuse...and they are actually closer related to hamsters than to real mice and are also called "Krieger mit Krallen". Since my name derives from the god of war "mars" there is a similarity, haha. Well that's not the reson I have them though. No it was in 2003 when me and Silvio were strolling through the pet shop in the mall, just for fun, and I came across the mice and hamsters and then..there was a blondish gerbyl who was totally reacting to me, like when i put my finger on the glass (not knocking, just putting it there) it came running towards that spot putting his little claws against that spot...I did that about 10 times and knew "I have to have it". And we got him and a greyish one and they were called howard & stuart, and usually they have a lifespan of 3 years, but those two lived 5 years (cause I gave them a good home and many sun flower seeds..they loooooove sun flower seeds). Since then we always had gerbils around. and since it was always female ones, we had to get female one's when there was only one

yeah, the book has lots of such mini essays, which is fun, cause studying + enjoying = fun :D

yeah, I caught myself talking to my gerbils a few times by now, but they always look at me with their dark button-like eyes, as if totally listening to me xD
Also I'm sure they don't understand WHAT I say, but they seem to recognize my voice.

But I'm still trying to figure out in what way I might have become like them or something. Well they love to eat, haha..one thing in common right there.
Is your friend(s) in some way like the character of their dog?
