Re: Live animals at home?
I think they teach us a lot about real friendships with people. I know some people that think dogs are barely aware and are just kind of dumb, but in a sweet way. Some of them are even dog owners! But I know so many others that see dogs as emotionally intelligent beings (myself included, of course) and recognize their empathy and loyalty and unwavering love. It looks to me that relationship between dog and owner is dependent on the what the owner puts in...just like friendships and relationships.

Aside from that, having animals around when I was growing up taught me responsibility. I learned how to care for someone other than myself, and I did my best to learn as much about animals, so I could give them the best care. I would wholeheartedly say that animals are an extremely important addition to the life of a child and teaching them not only responsibility, but also understanding, compassion, and love.

I could totally relate to this! Haha Cats are the best!Kalin Adi wrote:I am a cat lover! I have a cute cat named Amai (sweet in Japanese). He is so clever. He usually eats at 5:30am because my husband feeds him before he goes to work. But, if for any reason my husband doesn't wake up at that time, Amai starts meowing to wake us up and feed him. If we still do not wake up, Amai then starts pushing the door back and forth and if he still feels ignored, then he starts scratching the door. For me this situation is hilarious because he doesn't give up until he gets what he wants. Shouldn't we copy this example of perseverance when we have a goal in mind? I'm sure Amai is not the only one focused to get something in life.

Wow! I can understand the rest of the animals but how do you pet a lizard? How big is Lizzie?Ashley Nestler wrote:I love animals! I have 1 cat, 2 dogs, 1 lizard, 1 fish, and1 turtle. Animals are such a great teaching mechanism to teach humans compassion and responsibility.
