I wish they could live forever, too. Dogs have been a delight in my life.

I can understand why Trump doesn't like them. They don't care how much money you have, whether you're powerful or not, how good looking (or not) you are, what kind of car you drive, how you're dressed, or your hair (although my dogs did give me doubletakes a couple of times when I had something weird in my hair or a facial mask on). They judge you. Just you. Paws up, or down.
