They're not Animals--They're My Kids

Friday, July 01, 2011

Today's blog entry was supposed to be about my favorite animal. What comes to mind immediately is the animal that has always been a part of my life--dogs. They provide unconditional love. It doesn't matter what their human is going through or what their human's mood is. This animal is always there, wagging its tail in happiness, ready to provide love and companionship.

While searching for a picture of my sweet shih tzus, I found this one and thought it appropriate for the season. Check the neck scarves.

And then it occurred to me--THEY'RE NOT ANIMALS--THEY'RE MY KIDS!

    Such cute babies! I firmly believe that my kitties are guardian angles, there is no purer expression of true love and faith that we will take care of them and they, in turn, us.

    Of course they are our kids. I can't even imagine treating a pet like anything else. I know I spend more on their treats than I do on mine. Your little ones are so adorable.

    OM gosh... that's exactly how I feel about mine. I have a shih-tzu as well. His name is Casey. My landlord won't allow pets, but I'm fighting it because it's illegal here to do that. In the mean time Casey lives with my friends so I get to see him now & then, but I miss him like crazy. He's old now, but I've said to him all his life that I'm so thankful that God gave him to me because he loves me no matter what kind of mood I'm in. Casey has helped to bring me out of more depression episodes than I can count. There's no love in the world like the love of a dog. Every child should have one.

    Absolutely adorable and patriotic too! You just can't beat that combination. We have always had cats and our current Kitty is just like you described your Kids. She tends to know when I am hurting and gives me lots of love. She has been with us 20 yrs. emoticon emoticon emoticon Happy Independence Day

    With all the love an animal has to offer, how can they not become a part of the family?

    How absolutely delightful Edie ....
They are gorgious .. the black and white one is so much like my Bobby only his nose is longer and he is fluffy at the moment (needing a hair cut )
Nothing in the world is like the love and companionship of our best Mates
Hugs Susie emoticon This is so much like my Bobby even to the red collar !!

    I have 8 cats and one dog and they aren't pets, they're my kids too. That's how I refer to them..."My Kids!"
