What’s my fav?  “Must Love Dogs.” Of course! Seriously though,  who’d date a non-dog lover?  I mean, that’s a fail. Florida men. I  wonder. Are they intense like Yankee men? Hope not. Interested? Me?  No. Not now. Men. Been there. Too  much trouble. They are. Hazel is the best  date. Typical Chihuahua.  Little Velcro-girl. But there was that cute  guy with his dog at the vet.  I dunno. Maybe…
