I tend to not like dogs unless they are well behaved and get the picture when you show discomfort about them jumping on you or whatever I like cats because they don't (well, usually) jump on you while you are walking. they wait for you to sit down, most of the time. the psychologists among us can maybe learn something through this important information 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most cases, positive reactions are how dogs usually relate with me. Security canines are exempt from that as they should be. I miss not being a pet owner, and those who love them are special people. Pets are God's precious gifts to us. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None the less I do have a cat, or it has us. Cat box augh!!! We have had as many as four dogs at one time, a huge Siberian, a monster doberman/shepherd, a standard beagle, and a toy poodle, along with five people. I always ended up being the one that exercised them ( The dogs that is). Personally I am ready to have no pets, even though I end up going to the rescue center looking. Traveling with a cat is hard work, the things can get panicky and end up squeezing themselves under hotel beds, then I have to tear the bed apart- lots o fun. ps Cats love to get on me, purr and start their kneeding. I try to look fierce but to no avail. So I pet them for hours till my arms are tired. My Dobie used to roll itself over and over on my feet to pet itself if I didn't pet it. So what does that say? I don't know, I'm a push over? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love most animals. But I always had cats and so I'm more used to them. We have 2 cats here. One (a ginger cat called Ernie) is about 15 years old at least. He is not what he used to be but very sweet in his. The other is a rather fat grey cat who adopted us (I call him Baba). He showed up one day about 5 years ago. We even chased him away several times but he kept coming back. So we (including Ernie) decided to let him stay. He is so gentle. He never gets aggressive but he loves to eat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's food bill was something, two pounds of kibble and four raw chicken breasts per day. It would sit at the couch like a human would hind feet on the floor next to my two year old grandson. We called them the twins. Baby stuff and dog slobber was my lot in those days. Fun but messy. That dog could easily flip slobber to the ceiling, and protective, whoa one bark would concuss everyone, way scary at times. He was all black with a rubber chicken white breast. We had him in the house and our feral cat on the front porch that I fed, watered, and provided a heating pad and bed for during winter months. Thought it was an old cat but it lived with us for about 16 years. It was a mean cat. I called it Miss Kitty, but later we found out it was Marshall Dillon. Still called it Miss Kitty, maybe that is why it was so mean? It liked to bite as it's "sign" of affection. I'd sit on the porch it would come up jump on me start it's kneeding then bite me and jump off me. I used to go out in the cold to make sure the heating pad was still working. Eventually I put in an electrical outlet for the heating pad and bedding with an interior to the house switch. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rabbit was for my young daughter, a $10 "dwarf" Netherlands Red. Some dwarf it turned out to be. On it's hinds it could stretch its front claws to my chest. Was a friendly thing. I put a collar on it and trained it to hop along the sidewalk as I walked. It liked kids and being petted. We had it for years, paid to have it isolated with a vet and certified disease free so that we could fly him across country when we moved. I even had to put in a fence around the back yard for him twice.. He used to sun himself atop the lantana bushes up against the block wall fence. Turned out to be one expensive $10 rabbit. My first beagle puppy Bogey ( He was not quite up to par) went down one of it's holes and I had to dig it back out one day. Silly dog couldn't get himself back out of the rabbit warren. I was a bit ticked that day kind of wondered about having pets- but they were family things to care for. Had another large yellow dog when my neighbor was at sea. I would walk it through the strawberry fields for him, 540 acres worth. It was a wild one, would run circles in his own back yard building up the speed needed to go sideways right up the block wall and peer over at me to say lets go, lets walk. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I'm a dog person. I can teach a dog to sit, speak, be still and fetch on command. Not so much the wife 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
