Mary3 Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 I have heard *Love is Stupid.*...Meaning people in love do stupid things, like act blind to whats going on .....lower their standards of self respect to please the other one...act even nicer when they see the other person drawing away...( All signs of low self respect , yes ) I wonder if we would act as stupid purchasing a car with steam coming out of the radiator, bald tires , smoking engine....yet quite obvious things... but we notice those things .. But we dont notice the lack of phone calls, the too busy syndrome, the games that are played .....until its pounding in our heads we are being played... When does love make sense ? When do we recognize good love, honest emotions , I am working on finding that out. I had it before.....am searching again... For now , Its going to come from a creature with 4 legs otherwise known as a Golden Retriever. I will seek love for now from a pet who gives it unconditionally. Either that or just change my choices to a pekinese and I really prefer a larger dog lol
stewh Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 I agree, get your loving from your four legged friend. I love my pug and I want another!
Beth Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 In my humble opinion, dog-love (or pet-love) is the BEST love there is. It is a mainstay for me, and love of another person is an just added benefit when it happens. My dogs know more about me then my husband ever will, and they are 100% accepting, as I am of them. My "soul mates" have always been puppy-dogs, and always will be. Consistent and unconditional love--what could be better? When I'm feeling blue - they are there to comfort me with kisses and cuddles. When I'm happy they are too and they show it. When I'm not feeling any which way, they know how to lead me to the lighter side with their antics and their own personal joy. When they are mad at me, they let me know it in no uncertain terms and I always apologize! And they know when I'm upset with them and THEY alwas apologize too! My husband and I don't even do that--we don't have the same level of pure honest and immediate communication, although we try. The dogs have taught us a lot. As someone else once said: Love me, Love my dog. It's always worked for me and I would not have married my husband if he didn't understand that and embrace that same philosophy. What'cha gonna name your Golden? Hug him or her for me!
RecordProducer Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Mary, it's true, but mother nature made us so tolerant because love requires tolerance and forgiveness in order to survive. Sometimes we're too tolerant and what we should do is leave and not put up with the crap served to us, but very often people are not tolerant enough. And that's one of the reasons for fights and break-ups. I wish we'd know more about which problems are major and should make us quit the relationship, which are medium and should be worked on and which are minor and should be ignored.
Author Mary3 Posted May 22, 2005 Author Posted May 22, 2005 Wow you guys very enlightening. ! When I get back in town I will be looking for a golden retreiver...I have researched this dog....Its funny we look for something and its right in front of us....at the Animal Shelter ! lol.... Well I will consider all ways to find a great pet and maybe it might not be that breed but another loving animal looking for a home....I think I should get a pup though....would like to train....That one show Animal Planet where the ppl have their pets do tricks its great. Dogs are amazing ! Now I know this is a Love Site but hey this is about a great pet love too !
XNemesisX Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 I love all my pets, and they love me too Who needs a man? I'm perfectly content right now having my cockapoo keep the other side of my bed warm
kechara Posted May 22, 2005 Posted May 22, 2005 I've had about the most miserable of miserable days (read: stayed in bed the whole, blue, gorgeous day and cried over a man who makes very little time for me) and wasn't sure how to pick myself up again. Not wanting to inflict myself on my three friends (two wonderful mutts and a Rhodesian Ridgeback), I left them in the backyard all day while I moped. Now, I think I'll take your advice and do some cuddling. I'll throw the leg from some unidentifiable stuffed animal for Tucker and watch him bounce and grin. I'll let Tasha kiss me. And I'll let Emji up on the bed so I can listen to her peaceful snore. Thanks again.
Author Mary3 Posted May 22, 2005 Author Posted May 22, 2005 I see the infinite possibilities here....I have had pets in the past and they are sooo eager to see you....they dont have many issues lol....they just want your love and kisses...this is easier than I had imagined haha
