EVEN MORE ABOUT ME

I am a successful, accomplished woman. Up until now I have devoted most of my time to my career and my dog. But after taking time to paws and reflect, I feel it's now time to add another creature to my life. I take pride in being a single pet owner, but I also feel that my dog now needs an Alpha role model in his life. My friends describe me as loyal, obedient, and friendly. I believe a couple should respect each other's independence, and understand the need to mark their own territory. Even though I'm an independent woman, I encourage old-fashioned chivalry. Fetch me the newspaper.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR

I believe choosing a man is like choosing a dog. Will he fit comfortably into my life? Or will he be scratching at the door to get out the first time he notices 15 or 20 dog hairs in his soup? If you're uptight when a dog becomes a little amorous with your leg, don't bother writing me. You'll have to deal with your intimacy issues elsewhere. I'm looking for a man who can unleash the woman inside me. I love men who are physically expressive. We'll do just fine if you like having your tummy scratched while waiting in line to see a movie. It's OK if you have a dog since I'm familiar with the issues of an extended stepfamily.
