That was touching.

You have your work, your entertainment, and your friends. I only have you.

Words to live by, if your going to be pet owner.  #5: I use about about 10 minutes at night to talk and teach them commands.  It's usually while I'm cooking in the kitchen.  They seem to pay more attention in the kitchen. 

I take them to work about 3-5 days per week, but when I leave them at home, they can  dig.  I set 3 new post tonight, to put a pre-fence (not sure what to call it?) before they get to the outside fence.

I have had to make that trip more than a couple times. I refuse to let them go only in the company of strangers in a strange place. The last thing they know is my hand holding them as I let them go from the pain they are in. It absolutely tears me up as those friends were often far better to me than the majority of my family was when I was growing up. Those critters were indeed my "furkids" and I miss them all.

Yep, I just had to take that trip with my cat, 14 years of her, I had bottle fed her when we found her, and her brother.  The last thing I hope she knew was that I was still with her.

Its all great and well written but dogs don't love us. They have no "feelings" of affection. All they want is your food, play, eat, sh**, be comfortable, and sleep. Yet, I do love my dog but I know he doesn't love me. We feel so alone sometimes that it relieves us to think that animals can "love" us.

Sorry for breaking the mood here but I know two people who would not even think twice about sacrificing a human life before an animal's so I'm a bit biased toward that kind of cuteness stuff.

I respectfully disagree with you Lepape.  I know my dogs love me and I them.

Its okay, I know that no one here will agree with me on that topic. I just shared my thoughts is all.  :salute

While it's true that we can't ask dogs that we love them (which means we cannot say that they do), by asserting that dogs are stupid you have made an assertion here that goes against your premise (that we don't know, so we can't say).  While I agree that we can't prove that they love in the way humans do, (it would be very strange to find that out) asserting that dogs have no social abilities is not true.  In the wild, they form large packs with a complex dominance hierarchy; in captivity, the pack is often just a few beings (man, dog, cat, rat, etc.,) with the human most interested in the dog as the pack leader.

Therefore, though it would be strange to love a dog like a human, one cannot say that the dog does not form an attachment to the owner.  I cannot provide anecdotes to support my claim, (I've never owned a dog) but there are quite a few here that can.  On the point of those two whom you know, we'll never know until the time comes.

A dogs loyalty to people, seems to be a big strong point for our love for dogs.  What do people wish for the most in a relationship?  Affection or Loyalty?

a little bit of both, wouldnt you agree?

Yes, I do agree.  A dog can mimic affection, but is 100% loyal all the time.   You can buy a prostitute to show you affection for a short period of time, but I wouldn't trust her loyalty.

I guess what i'm getting at in this post.  I've never had a dog squish my heart like a grape for no particular reason at all. :)
