My true confession is that sometimes I go to the dog parks, even though I don't have a dog, simply to get my regular dose of dog love. You know what I am taking about, those "wet-and-slobery-kiss--licks" that tells you how much you are loved no matter what. There's nothing quite like it. I grew up in the cattle ranches of...
