Full disclosure: I've become more of a cat person as I age primarily due to not having to take / let dogs out.
I have had dogs for the better part of my 70 year life, though, and love 'em all the same.
Until my 35 year old daughter moved in with us last March with her smelly, noisy, constantly scratching, allergic to every kind of food imaginable Frenchie. All the dog does is sleep or scratch itself, bleeding on the carpet and furniture.
But, I realize that's a sample size of one. I am truly glad for you that you all like yours.
