Is it bad that I like my rats better than my dog?

Daisy the Basset hound annoys the crap out of me and I just don't like
her very much. I feel terrible about it but she's hard to love. I love
my rats so much more than her! I feel like I need therapy or something.
Daisy is just so needy and bossy. I've tried dog-whispering techniques,
but in the pack order of my household, it goes husband, Daisy, child,
child, me. This is Daisy's interpretation. But my rats are so cool and
nice and I love to hang out with them. I need pet therapy!!!!!!

I think we all have our preferences. I've got a dog and three cats and
27 rats. I can tell you that my feelings for my rats run far deeper than
for the dog and cats. It's just how it is I suppose. Maybe I need pet
therapy too. lol

I had my best friend Ollie PTS on New Years eve and ever since then, my
Rats and Rabbit have become my pet of choice.  I will never have another
dog and I have to be honest too and say I am not as fussed on my
husbands dog as I should be.  He is a lot of work and needy too :) I
don't feel guilty though, he gets lots of love and attention just the same.

Regards Kate

I had trouble bonding with my dog too and for some reason I have
trouble bonding with dogs in general. I think much of it has to do
with their neediness and their jumpiness. I use to be crazy about
cats, but since all the stress the brats have put me through and since
adopting the rats, they are no longer my favorites. I do feel really
guilty about that. But I can't help it, the rats are just so cute and
funny. Sigh... I think I need pet therapy too.
