What Draws Us to the Animals We Love?

 At the current I have two dogs,two cats, three birds,and four huge fish...but I have raised rabbits, quail, ducks..small "wild" critters, as we have squirrels in the area..and my best friend while growing up raised Arabian horses and still does. What attracts us is we see an quality in them....that is in us...according to an book I have from long ago...on how we meet up with the people and animals that affect our lives. I might have to let some of them go though here shortly if things keep going the route it is toward our retirement. Bascially I am an animal lover, I see them equal to anything else "living" in the world...and we all need help these days. 

Glad to hear it Wolf and Shirley! I am so glad you were rescued Wolf!  Four of my cats came from the street. They were a litter of kittens about 4 weeks old. Was going to find homes but as soon as I held them I couldn't part with them. We brought in three other litters and found homes for them too. Wish I could of kept them all.

I want a dog so bad but Craig will not let me have one.    There is nothing like the unconditional love of a pet!

I have one dog and her name is Tilly, I have had her since she was a puppy and she is gorgeous, she is so protective of me!! catherine you should get a dog! she is my baby...and my partner loves her.. even if he doesnt admit it..
