Do you know of anyone that is very picky?

I'm picky about the food I eat. There's a whole bunch of stuff I wouldn't touch. My mother had told me I was like that since babyhood, so I'm still a baby about food. Not proud of it, but there it is.
 
If he wants a fence to last 25 years, wood is the wrong choice unless he is ready to maintain it adequately or willing have it look like it should have been torn down 10 years ago if it actually lasts 25.

Picky people? There's me.

I have been accused of being picky plenty of times. Movies - I don't like them - with few exceptions. Clothing, purses, shoes - quality lasts for years, which I like mostly because I do not like to go shopping. Except for Goodwill, because I've found a lot of high quality items which look new (clothes only) for a few dollars each.

I am picky about restaurants. I do not like spending my money at restaurants when I can cook the same thing at home, and it tastes better. At present, I am unable to cook, so that is a pickiness I have put on the back burner.

I am picky about dogs. Not just any dog will do. I pick breeds that will cohabit happily with me. The puppy and I have to "click" -- it's kind of a woo-woo thing, but each time I get the perfect dog for me. Also, the dog must be beautiful to me. Every day I have owned various dogs, I have taken great pleasure in their beauty. Basically, I am picky about everything having to do with my dog.

It is true that I voted against Aidan, while the other family members voted for him. But that was because we were on a mission to meet the breed. Not to bring home a puppy who, when I worked for a breed rescue, we rarely let first time dog owners adopt one. Aidan was a holy terror as a puppy. The woo-woo thing was there, but I ignored it because I was not prepared to bring a puppy home.

I am very picky about vets, vet techs, and dog groomers. There is a reason that the vet has written across Aidan's chart in bright red Sharpie : She really loves her dog. That is probably code for this lady is a pain in the you-know-what.

I am picky about friends. They are in categories: Friends and acquaintances. Friends have to be trustworthy. Gossips nix that right away. If someone gossips to me - tells me things that were likely confidential - they are not trustworthy.

I can never just answer a question in a few words. My mom used to say I am an expert at making a short story long. Which is why I added friends to the list -- that way it would be mostly about my dog.
 
Undoubtedly, me! I am very picky about most things that come into my life. I get that from my mom. It drives my wife crazy at times. On Friday night, we had dinner at one of the better restaurants here in my town. I ordered some kind of pork (it had a fancy name) and when it was brought to the table, I had to ask the server if there was a pork chop under all of the other things that were piled on top. After about a two minute conversation about this pork chop, the waitress took it away and brought me a plain hamburger. I was never charged for the $21 pork chop or the $14 hamburger. My wife told me I was embarrassing. I didn’t think so. Everything that we discussed was very low tone. No one around us seemed to be paying any attention to us.

Not to be picky, but what happens if your beautiful perfect dog gets hit by a car and has to have a leg amputated? Is he still beautiful to you? Do you stop loving the dog because he's no longer perfect? Maybe I'm reading your answer wrong.

Of course. He is not perfect. He is perfect for me, and I'm pretty darned sure I am perfect for him. There are plenty of people who do not think my dog is perfect.

He also need not be beautiful to anyone else. Just to me.

Nothing could happen to Aidan that would make him less beautiful or less perfect for me.
