Q. People think I have a problem because of the way I treat my baby - I mean dog.

I take him with me everywhere, I can't imagine leaving him behind.

The same people that gave him to me to keep me company now think I'm obsessed. He's a lot more company than most of them.

Should I be as concerned as they are, or are they just jealous of our relationship?

A. If the dog gives you a feeling of pleasure, and does not isolate you from interacting with others, enjoy the company!
