That's because there's no liberals among pets. heh heh

I'm not so sure - their food and housing are covered, free health care, no requirement to work. Sounds like a sweet deal.
But wait ... oh, yeah - THEY DESERVE IT.

Here's my boy Gotti, he turns 2 at the end of August. Had him since he was 8 weeks old, raised with my kids 3 year old and 5 year old. Super protective of them and the family, he's basically like my 2nd shadow everywhere I go around the house lol

Maybe we need to do a poll: "Cats, Dogs, Both, Other"

 

[MikeHTally]

Here, we have both. Seven cats & five dogs, plus an assortment of raccoons, possums, turkeys, deer, hawks & armadillos. The count has been as high as 25 of the more conventional varmint population.

Handsome rascal.

Pets are the best! They give so much, and ask for so little.

So little - snack here, pets and scruffles there. Miss Rosie is as cold-natured as I. Winters in Florida can be brutal. We can tell when she's cold, she gets this "poor miserable me" look. Drop a blanket or towel over her and we get one long dog-sigh and she fades right away.

I think it's how they deal with smaller animals - kittens, puppies, etc., that defines them. We've had many, many big dogs who were instinctively gentle with tiny creatures - kittens who were terrified at all the other animals in the house but learned that big, hulking, intimidating critter held no malice or ill-feelings and in fact made a pretty good place to nap on a cold morning.

Here's Buddy, one of my wife's dogs. Neat little spaniel-mix.

Rosie again, with her sister, Grace



They did this a lot, from when they were all they had.

The "neigh"bor next door:



Frankie was being neglected and was still a sociable boy. Always ready for pets and scratches. He was later rescued and is now living the life of Riley in Georgia. He likes kids and gives rides often. I sure miss him, but I'm glad he's OK.

Here's my Short-dog. Most laid-back rascal ever:



Gentle soul, never met an enemy (except thunder storms).

Poor horsey! I hoped that now he's getting pampered to all heck!
