But I know what you mean about dogs - one of the great things about living with my in-laws has been having a dog too. And our future neighbours' dog seems to have adopted us - she wanders up to visit most times we're over there :)Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15636189059910920978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-33079921904178421122007-04-16T11:24:00.000-06:002007-04-16T11:24:00.000-06:00I'm a dog lover too.

Then, when I left home and found out a farmer was planning on shooting all of his kittens, I decided I wanted one if only to save it. I ended up saving all of them, but kept just one. Since then I've usually had a dog and a cat, until 2 years ago when my lovely dog died aged 17. Now I have 2 cats. I'd love another dog, but they're a lot of responsibility when you're on your own and work too.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430125606844410229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-50053397267771647782007-04-15T10:09:00.000-06:002007-04-15T10:09:00.000-06:00I love animals, always have.

Then Beeper had kittens, and we found homes for 3 and kept one, Lily, for our family. And then we got another German Shepard, Kayse. They each had their own personality - likes and dislikes. Pets are truly part of the family.<BR/><BR/>Melissa, I think you shoule expand on this post and submit it as an OP-ed to a newspaper. I loved it.Bebehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13010599915367121903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-26781752152882750082007-04-14T09:01:00.000-06:002007-04-14T09:01:00.000-06:00I'm a cat person and have two.

She's part cat, though, and sits on my lap most of the day...which has its good and bad points! I like to incorporate animals into my stories too. One of my works-on-the-shelf even features a crime-fighting pig. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-53385372978981152332007-04-13T15:32:00.000-06:002007-04-13T15:32:00.000-06:00I've had cats, too, but my preference is also for ...I've had cats, too, but my preference is also for dogs. You can't find that unconditional love anywhere else. Pets are the best listeners. My current canine companion, a spunky Schipperke, tries to be a conversationalist at times, too. I don't really like those moments so much since I'm not yet fluent in Schipperke. Usually, though, she's telling me to put her outside, give her some kibbles or water, or most often, to get her a biscuit.Diana Celeskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235614199276857320noreply@blogger.com
