I love this! Your description is now making me wonder what sort of wacky hybrid animal I am…a dot? A cog? 😂

Honestly, I think we're a little big dots and cogs, depending on the day!

I love this post. I'm more cat-like, and the Hubster is more dog-like, but we cross over a lot, too. Our base values are very similar despite growing up in different cultures (both US, but city/country, North/South, etc.). The differences make spice.

Just got up so I’ll read closer later but in first peek at pics- you know I’m gonna have to go with the doggo

But Catster and doggo are cute and sweet together

Thank you

Sweet 🤗

Not peeing on hydrants or mailboxes may be your greatest gift to Brent --second only to thirty years of adventures. This is partnership in action.

Beautiful piece and a lovely way to start my day! From both of your writings I had already realized you and my spouse Chris are more alike and Brent and I are more alike and this piece 100% confirms it. You’ve given me a new perspective and way to frame our differences so perfectly. Thank you! 😊

So beautiful. Perfectly said. So great to read this. My partner is definitely more the dog and I'm more the cat. Except when settling on the next location or discussing challenges. lol
