betamanlet Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 there are two schools on pets, (1) if you like animals more than people, you are crazy or (2) if you like animals more than people, you have a better and more loyal companion who doesn't cheat or stab you in the back. i believe in 2. I love my pets.
D-Lish Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I'm very happy to come home from a long day at work and cozy up with my dogs.

Hua Hua constantly looks at them... she is very intrigued by them. One time she fell in, luckily I saw her and grabbed her out. She can't swim! that fat dog! Hua hua and fish

TaraMaiden Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Ok, I admit it. This is blatant self-advertising, but I could do with the references! I'm a Dog behaviourist! If anyone has any issues they want to discuss, talk to Tara!! Pizzaman, those dogs are just wonderful...I just love Jimmy...he's simply adorable...!

temple Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I have two http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=556507 http://www.imagedump.com/index.cgi?pick=get&tp=555624 Your cats are adorable. I don't have any pets - I'm out most of the day so I think it would be cruel to keep an animal I don't spend any time with. But definitely once I'm older and have a family. Animals are an important part of a child's upbringing.

I have a tuxedo cat who gets separation anxiety worse than any dog. Unconditional love is so nice. BTW, I saw a bumper sticker the other day that said "Real Men Like Cats."
SoulSearch_CO Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Aww it's a pet thread! Here are mine!

I am not able to have any right now due to my living situation. But I miss my babies. I had to re-home 2 dogs and 2 cats a year ago.

Author betamanlet Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 Your cats are adorable. I don't have any pets - I'm out most of the day so I think it would be cruel to keep an animal I don't spend any time with. But definitely once I'm older and have a family. Animals are an important part of a child's upbringing. That's why I have two cats, to keep each other company. That and all the climbing toys and stuff they have, they keep pretty entertained, though they sleep a lot during the day, then run around at night when i'm there.
Pizzaman81 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 thank god, it's a pond! ...i was worried, thought your pool has major issues...LOL! hehe..hua hua is cute.....so, do you have koi fishes? Ya that would be messed up if it were a pool. I have 2 Koi fish in there. I think Hua Hua wants to eat them.

allina Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I LOVE my cats And I can't wait to get a dog one day I wouldn't say that I love animals more than people in a general sense but I love animals more than most people.
threebyfate Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 betamanlet, why does everything have to be so extreme? (3) Animals are fascinating to you and specifically, love and adore your pets. It's okay to love more than one race, species, gender, etc. and it not make you some kind of freakshow for not being a drama queen. We have two pets. A Bengal cat and a black Lab. The two remind me of "Get Fuzzy" in personality type!
Payden Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Yes, I love our dogs more than most humans. Here's our new guy about 2 months ago after he arrived from PetFinders and the dash rescue. He's a 10 year old miniature dachshund named Fred lol... He's awesome. His first day and mom holding him.... http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy201/Sharepics20/12430022.jpg About to go on his first run of the yard lol http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy201/Sharepics20/12430019.jpg Fred and his older sister, Hope. The brown one(Hope) was running toward me and the camera as I was on the ground taking pics lol. http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy201/Sharepics20/12430021.jpg Fred on his way to the back yard stopping for a quick picture.. http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/yy201/Sharepics20/12430011.jpg
Stung Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I have three cats whom I love and have lived with me since before I met my husband and created my family. I'm currently having a hell of a time teaching my 13-month-old not to yank their fur out by the handful . We are currently looking for a larger house and yard and once we're moved and settled in, we'll add a dog to the mix, some breed that's very good with children. I once had to live without pets for two years because of landlords and I vowed never again, a life sans pets is too barren IMO. That being said, while I care for them more than i do many people, I wouldn't say I qualitatively value my pets above all people. Particularly now that I have children, the animals' role has shifted, become somewhat less central and more peripheral in my affection. I did spend all my honeymoon money on getting one a necessary surgery, though, if that tells you anything. So much for Argentina (sigh).
donnamaybe Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Here are my three "fiend lions" lol http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab164/donnamaybe/Critters/Boots.jpg http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab164/donnamaybe/Critters/Chloe.jpg http://i860.photobucket.com/albums/ab164/donnamaybe/Critters/Isabellestretching.jpg As for the people v. animals question, I have to say I'm ALWAYS comfortable around my kitties. People, not always. They can be very moody. However, I take each one at face value and love them for who they are. After all, people have to put up with my peculiarities.
