Admin	Do you have any pets? If so, do you view them as part of your family members? Posted : 23 Nov, 2010 02:28 AM I have to say... When I had my sweet little bird, I her from 5 weeks old to 8 years old, I viewed her as part of my family. When she became ill with Cancer I did have the Vet try to save her. They first removed her preen gland, but Cancer had spread. They removed her tail and she lived just shy of a year afterward. The cost was very close to what it would be for a human to go thru the same process. I miss her soooooo much! And my life was and is blessed because she was part of it. Thank you God! Post Reply

I viewd them as part of my family. I remembered when i was celebrating my 18 years old birthday, my late father gave me a big surprise. He brought me 2 lovely puppy for my birthdat present. They were sooo cute and I love to be with them all the time. As days goes by, they became my best friends. I remembered those days we play together, we fight, i drag them to bath (they dont like take bath). Sometimes they angry they trouble me clean up their waste everywhere. They died after i work out of town. I miss them so much. All the best memories stay in my heart forever. Post Reply

I brought him home and he fit in my one hand. He was the runt that no one wanted. My daughter was 4 and she wanted him and my son was 1 year old. My dog is now 15. He is having problems with his legs due to arthritis. I love him just like family. It's so hard trying to know what to do. Do I put him down or what. He seems happy most of the time but then it's hard for him to get up sometimes. I can't imagine my life without him? So, I know how you both feel. Yes, we can love our pets soooo much and God has given them to us to encourage us and bless our lives!!! Post Reply

Posted : 23 Nov, 2010 06:30 AM My family has 4 dogs, 5 cats, and a couple dozen chickens (laying hens). All of the animals (except for one dog and one cat) live outside, but they are definitely cherished pets. Even the chickens are fairly friendly! If you go into the chicken coop and squat down, you are almost guaranteed to have at least 2-3 chickens either perched on your knees or sitting on your shoulders, and the others will be vying for their turns. Even though we love our pets, we don't consider them to be the same as people. We take our animals to the vet, we give them the necessary medications, and we feed them quality foods, but we don't put their needs before ours. Post Reply

marikashome View Profile History	Do you have any pets? If so, do you view them as part of your family members? Posted : 23 Nov, 2010 03:51 PM Two cats, one about 16-17 and the other about 1-2. Both rescued, both spoiled. I enjoy their company and wouldn't want to part with them, but I don't really count them as family. Just very good friends. Post Reply
View Profile History	Do you have any pets? If so, do you view them as part of your family members? Posted : 23 Nov, 2010 06:27 PM My closet Friends the ones that always gave me unconditional Love. The ones that were ALWAYS there for me when I need someone to listen to me. The ones that never questioned me or Judged me. These Friends were my Pets...although calling them that seems so wrong for they were just as much a part of my family as My Family. Anyone that can show Love and Affection to an Animal is someone that I know will show Love to Humans. God Bless our Pets (Family)! Post Reply
View Profile History	Do you have any pets? If so, do you view them as part of your family members? Posted : 23 Nov, 2010 07:01 PM I'm trying to do the pet thing - my kids want a dog. We picked up a stray, figuring we were helping the world out by taking in the stray. Part beagle. Digs out of everything (has dug outta the fenced yard more times that I can count). Tears up everything or drags it into the yard. *sigh* I bailed her out of the pound just yesterday. Then I come home today and she wasn't home when I got home from work again today. Pound can keep her this time. No more beagles for me! I hear good things from pound/stray dog owners, so I won't let this one experience burn me on them. Post Reply

Posted : 23 Nov, 2010 07:28 PM It's not just beagles that dig...two of our dogs are terrier mixes, and they dig out of everything...or if they can't dig out of it, they go through it. One of them chewed through a chain link fence, and wood is no obstacle at all. Fortunately, we live out in the country and the county Animal Control is pretty much useless (one person for the entire county), so if the dogs get out it's not a big deal. Post Reply
