| anyone else here like animals better than people? I guess I've always known that my animals (all animals) are my preferred company....been married for 28 years, have a 23 year old daughter...still love my babies....people use to tell me "you'll change your mind when you get married and have a baby" I never did....I guess not getting along with the kids at school (I was overweight) and not having siblings allowed me to create my own world of dogs and cats.....my own society...where I am loved and accepted for who I am. Fifty years later...I'm the same way... roxanne

| Well Maya is not a Pet to us ... she is a Family Member and we love her. I get along better with some People's Dogs then the Person owning the Dog. Don't know why ...... Pets love me and my Daughter ..... I always had Dogs around me growing up ... maybe thats why.

| Me Me Me!!! Seriously I am a homebody and prefer it that way most the time. My life is with my dogs. Most everything I do, such as trips or spending extra money, has something to do with the dogs. Such as dog shows, toys, accessories etc. I am constantly buying books and researching health, nutrition for dogs. Dogs are so loyal and don't discriminate, usually, lol. I am fairly young too, so people would prob expect me to prefer to be going out all the time. But I have always been this way. I have had lots of pets growing up, started off with a hamster, then I had rabbits, Cats, dogs, turtles, frogs, birds, not all at once though. Ok, enough blabbing, i just saw this post and It made me laugh to myself as i reflect on my life and realize i like animals much better. Last edited by YorkieNewbie22; 02-26-2008 at 11:57 AM. |

| My hubby of 25 years says that Gypsy fills a place in my heart he will never fill. I love my furbaby but I do love my hubby and dtr (21 years old). Animals are usually more acceptable of people than other people.

| I do like people but I enjoy the company of my dogs more than some people I have met over the years! Dogs are just soooooooo kind and accepting

| I am at a point in my life where I am free to put my pet before anyone else and I do. I had a family to raise and husband to raise ( ) and always had a family pet of one kind or another. But the kids always came first of course. Now, it's me and Buddy all the way. Everyone else just has to understand and if they don't, so be it! Buddy is #1 in my life today and it's all about him. There are many things I no longer do but I made the commitment knowing this and I have no regrets. Whoever sad "Man's Best Friend is his Dog" could not have been more correct. They listen to eveything you say and never judge you they just love you. |
