On Becoming a Dog

I'm starting to feel that some thing major may be amiss, when I asked myself this am where is my water dish. I truly love dogs but currently own none. Could it be possible that I am turning into one? I enjoy my exercise and like to eat alot. Some days I now pant, especially when it's hot. Most mornings I'm energetic but later my energies zapped. I'll curl up with a book and take an afternoon nap. My skin is dry and itchy. I thought it allergies. Could it be that some thing else is going on with me? I love to greet people where ever I go. I really hope I don't wag my tail to and fro. They say that a dog lives seven years to are one, so if I'm now a dog this life is more then done.

HI Anne Lise, I spent the past weekend at my ex's with his 3 canines, so I guess I got my dog fix for awhile.
