I'm alive for this tiny fraction of time in the universe's existence and I'm not supposed to be happy? Yeah, fuck that. That's my approach to everything to living so I never felt guilty or struggled with wanting dogs.
Honestly at first I had issues with accepting this part of myself at first. I enjoy animals company on many levels other than sexual, and it took me a long time to accept that there's nothing wrong with my attractions either. Especially in the world we live in, it's hard to find acceptance which is why I'm grateful for this community
I struggled like hell. I grew up in a VERY conservative household. Between this and some bi tendencies, it was really hard. I've come to accept both as I can't "not be" the sexuality that I am.
