I think my brother's girlfriend belongs in this catagory! lol She likes dogs and cats, but that is about it. And then it is a toloration. I guess I just can't get over that fact. She is scared to DEATH of my ferrets, and she even hates my bird! I just find it so funny... Jacob (my bro), Gabe (gf), and Elise (Gabe's best friend) where in my room looking at my critters, so I go in there and ask, "What are you guys doing...

They are loyal, consistent, patient, and forgiving. Who would lay by your side while you are sick for a week waiting patiently for you to recover and not complain about being walked or played with? Who is always willing to visit the elderly, the sick, and little children who can't even throw a ball or dangle a toy? Who would be satisfied with a rub on the nose, food and water? Who is willing to stay in a crate for hours waiting to be let...

I know how you feel Ritz, I come from a family of people like that. My mum doesn't really like animals much. She admires them from a distance but would be thrilled if she didn't have any at her home (currently she has chooks and a dog, because her hubby..my step dad...is a farmer at heart and loves having both around). My dad loved to adopt cats when he was a kid and had more than 20 at one point, but he's not a 'cat...

Some people just don't see all the happieness past a few chewed up shoes that animals bring. I was always a sucker for animals. I brought home my first stray dog at age 6. I was walking home from school and this dirty, dirty, sheep dog was walking around. I called it over to me and gave him the rest of my lunch. He then followed me home. Before that I was always bringing in things like Catpillars, Salamandors, Frogs, lol, one time I even...

I enjoyed reading your story. Yeah....I just can't relate at all to people who don't like or aren't crazy about animals. LOL. My sister loves dogs, has a Sheltie, but when she comes to visit, she's usually wearing casual clothes, nothing fancy, but nice and she winces when Lyric comes over close to her and pushes him away so she won't get dog hair on her clothes. She is even like that with my little Chi who has tan...

My youngest brother and I are the only ones in my family who are into nature and animals. We both brought frogs and snakes home as kids. We were the ones who HAD to have pets. I still have my very first animal book from when I was a very young. My grandmother had a great connection with nature and taught me gardening. But, the rest of the family is just not into nature or animals. It took me years to finally pester my parents into letting me...

My favorite is people who are in love with their car (or any of their objects), yet can't understand why I would care about an animal so much... Ok so you would pretty much give your left arm for a machine, but be inconvenienced by another living, breathing, feeling, thinking life... never Yet I am the strange one My folks are already not wild about me bringing two dogs home (I think they think I will board them to visit, wrong), so not...

I always wonder about people who dont love animals , its like they have a fundamental part missing from their make-up as a human. My brother cant stand little dogs, so I just tell hiim that my dogs are more loyal than any human and I would take them over him anyday If this is the only obsession we have then I think it is one that makes us richer as a person dont you???
