I can completely relate with what you are saying. <br /><br />And while I'll never know why other don't get it, I feel pretty special that I do. It's like discovering all the secrets of the universe in these little bundles of fur and maybe for some that's just a little more than they want to know. :)24 Paws of Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574070591449171093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-30057259205111668692011-09-04T20:36:16.392-07:002011-09-04T20:36:16.392-07:00Yeah, I can relate!

The cat insisted on sitting in his lap and he eventually began petting her.

I tell people that my first greyhound kept me sane for five years when I was having a hard time for various reasons. The only time I felt truly free was when I took him out for a walk and was able to let go alongside him and enjoy the walk, and his pleasure in the walk, and his company.<br /><br />Some people will never understand that in a million years, and it's their loss.Jay at The Depp Effecthttp://www.thedeppeffect.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-82139075515476828792011-09-04T16:49:05.763-07:002011-09-04T16:49:05.763-07:00Great post!

When I declined going on a 2 day trip over the summer, I got a few comments about "the dogs." The fact is, my dogs are one of the most important parts of my life, and people need to accept that part of me. This one definitely hit home!Of Pit Bulls and Patiencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06492258572655448550noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-27986870397631775952011-09-04T14:46:14.129-07:002011-09-04T14:46:14.129-07:00Today I met a greyhound who was in the greyhound s...Today I met a greyhound who was in the greyhound sanctuary at the same time as me last summer waiting for our forever home.<br /><br />Her owner told me that the lady who originally reserved her said at the last minute...."Of course, she'll only ever be allowed in the kitchen. I can't have her going anywhere else in the house."<br /><br />Needless to say she wasn't allowed to go and live there and she went instead to her lovely forever family where she is now so happy.<br /><br />Love and licks, WinnieElaine Pritchardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14080539206900278289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-10002064033739843472011-09-04T14:29:40.054-07:002011-09-04T14:29:40.054-07:00We couldn't agree more. Tucker, Olivia, Tanne...We couldn't agree more. Tucker, Olivia, Tanner, Phoebe, and Finn give me more joy than almost anyone or anything else. I dearly love my human friends and family, but there is something these five animals give me that I just don't think humans are capable of. Our relationships with them seem purer somehow. Either way, the humans I'm closest to also have a genuine love for animals ... not by design, but I just don't seem to be able to relate in any but the most superficial of ways to someone who is not an "animal person."Tucker The Crestiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13785899841721617997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-55559576163725315332011-09-04T14:17:55.794-07:002011-09-04T14:17:55.794-07:00I encounter the same thing.

Imagine if she knew they occasionally slept on the same bed as me!<br /><br />I also constantly get asked, "Do you win money?" when I tell people I compete in obedience/agility/etc. A friend from class finally asked someone if she wins money going to her son's soccer games. I think it's a perfect analogy.Amy / Layla the Malamutehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17483472323529793052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2295314400335672773.post-17363272485691332482011-09-04T10:25:18.303-07:002011-09-04T10:25:18.303-07:00I had a boss who wouldn't have pets 'cos t...I had a boss who wouldn't have pets 'cos they were "too messy" yet had two children that ran wild through her house. <br /><br />To me, there is nothing more satisfying than Harry half on my lap, purring away, or Frankie taking up my side of the bed or racing me up the stairs for a drink from the sink, or Sophie putting her paw on my cheek if I stop petting her. My husband wasn't an animal person (despite being raised with dogs) and certainly wasn't a cat person, but all it took was one and now we're up to three. It would be more if I could convince him, but for now we're happily three cat crazy. :)Hp0https://www.blogger.com/profile/18092985128153148048noreply@blogger.com
