Over the next few years, it was a challenge to even open up to a house full of strangers. People of a different color that did not look familiar at all to the faces I had come to know and love. What did they expect? That I would just accepting and willing dog? Let's just say, they had another thing coming! I may have only been within my toddler years, but everyone knows a child is the best judge of character. They can easily spot a good or bad person a mile away! And these people, were anything but my family!! The house would be crowded full of people. Loud and obnoxious, constant arguing, filthy you name it! They hardly paid attention to me when they weren't feeding me.
