well ask if his family needs food or shelter. Many families consider pets
essential to their quality of life.

PETS HELP KIDS CONNECT TO THE EARTH AND OTHER LIVING THINGS
Animals, says Shawnie Lee, give families "an opportunity to touch life in
healthy ways. I want my children to connect to the earth, to understand gardens
and growing things, but I also want the animals. They play so many roles, both
emotionally and physically."

THIS ONE'S FOR YOU?
Where will your pet spend most of its time? Do you have enough space? In the
case of a dog, will it get enough exercise and can you secure it on your
property?

oh yes, pets are great!!! specially dogs. They cheer you up when you feel down, taking care of them release so much tension and stress, not to mention that most pets are very loving creatures. When I had dogs in Argentina they were so spoiled, they used to love eat spaguetti and when mom used to bake chicken they used to go crazy for the smell!
Pets are great, did you all know that animals also help as a medical therapy for handicapp kids? Those who kids who suffer of autism or other kind of problems, when they make therapy with pets, it was proved that they have improved so much!. Therapy with dolfins are very known in the USA.

Oh you meant animals????

Well in that case...

I have read all that stuff about fish, cats, etc.
The only animal I ever related to was horses. I raised horses for years, and developed bonds with them I never thought possible.

I am not ordinarily an animal person and don't keep them.

My sweetie, on the other hand, has two cats, and I swear they look after her. They bring her great joy and they communicate (I suppose telepathically)

OK, I'm going to challenge you here. I see that you have doubts about animals being able to "read" or "understand" human thought or speech. Correct?

I am going to tell you a tale, that I give you my word is truth.

Years ago I lived in a remote area where there were few neighbors. The closest one had a beagle hound who came regularly to my home to 'hang out' with my then-wife's dogs.

I don't like dogs. And, as you may have figured out by now, I am a man of less than Ghandi-like patience.

I had a pair of gloves that I had left on the front porch. The beagle, being a playful sort, took one of them and hid it.

When I discovered it, I was infuriated. I looked at the dog and said, with great passion, "Dog, I'm going to KILL you".

I went into the house, got my rifle and came back outside.

The glove was there, the beagle was gone. I promise you that is a true story. That dog knew exactly what I was saying, and why.

And that's why you believe the dog understood you was going to kill him? Maybe someone heard you saying that and went and look for the glove and put it there while the doggie went to eat something

Now, on a serious matter, you was really going to kill that dog because of that?????

There was no neighbor.
And I'm not going to answer the other question because you won't like me any more.
