Now I don't seem to be. <br /><br />But I LOOOVE DOGS as does my husband. And if I want to spend my life's savings on them that is my privilege and my business.<br /><br />We only have one dog at a time. Each one has been a great comfort during my many illnesses.<br /><br />I don't invite persons to my house that have not been there before, without telling them I have a pet.<br /><br />If it is a short visit, not a stay-over, and dogs bother them, I isolate the dog in one room. My dogs are forbidden to beg food at the table and dinners guests are so instructed not to give in. My last dog (now deceased) and present rescue dog had that rule down pat. The rule is firmly stated NO HUMAN FOOD. Probably they eat healthier than I do.<br /><br />Everyone has the right to dislike or like pets, or hunting, or fishing, or birds or anything, another may enjoy. But no one has the right to abuse any living creature that does not pose an immediate physical danger..<br /><br />Psychologists in many numbers say a person who abuses animals will also abuse human beings.NitWit1https://www.blogger.com/profile/07035004840443397537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-78933508642680955792011-08-13T06:04:13.914-05:002011-08-13T06:04:13.914-05:00I like the wild birds who visit my garden.

At least two people I know who don't have proven themselves to be untrustworthy in matters of ethics and morals.

And when Scott's Slinky is gone, I do not want another dog. <br /><br />If I hadn't had the animals I could have gone to Europe at my son's expense.Margie's Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206751037182686016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-85695896019783423142011-08-12T16:23:16.504-05:002011-08-12T16:23:16.504-05:00Perhaps this little confession is good for your so...Perhaps this little confession is good for your soul, but there is nothing wrong in not liking something that makes you sneeze and have itchy eyes.<br /><br />I once raised and showed Manx cats.

In reality, I don't want any kind of pet. I'd rather be free to travel at a moments notice. And, frankly, I have decided I like dog-and-cat-hair-free clothing and furniture.Olgahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00692441479616299920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-10166419206582701632011-08-12T15:19:31.018-05:002011-08-12T15:19:31.018-05:00My daughter has had both cats and dogs.

One cat was anti-social, one was big, clumsy and loud and the one I liked was friendly without being obnoxious. She almost changed my mind about not liking cats. But I am a dog person at heart. <br /><br />Just like people, they all have different personalities and some are loveable and some you want to kill.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18373134676852496647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-70290935589108400202011-08-12T13:51:36.627-05:002011-08-12T13:51:36.627-05:00I see your point.

My neighbor's dog visits and I enjoy him but I'm also glad to see him go home.Kay Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646717192332313215noreply@blogger.com
