Sadly, I live in NYC and there's no way I can fit a dog into my lifestyle. <br /><br />Could probably manage a cat, but I'm too high-maintenance to deal with cathair on my clothes. <br /><br />What I REALLY want is a miniature horse. Maybe one day when I live in a house instead of a teeny box.hunterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14079334065276373438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-3470542353952274212010-09-07T06:52:30.185-07:002010-09-07T06:52:30.185-07:00piggy!piggy!awesome balla.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09186859029761422805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-57008610947052313152010-09-06T17:29:54.856-07:002010-09-06T17:29:54.856-07:00I have always wanted a giraffe more than I can exp...I have always wanted a giraffe more than I can express with words.

I felt like a failure. :(<br /><br />Fate brought a 4 year old Beagle into our lives and that little girl stole my heart (and continues to do so every single day). I never knew how much love you could have for a dog. <br /><br />I still have my two kitties and will always consider myself a cat person first, but there's just something about a dog.<br /><br />Thanks to everyone for sharing their stories.

The middle child is 12, and the youngest is 7. <br />As much as I love my girls, I'd love a dog too. However, it's been thoroughly and succinctly explained to me that Hell will freeze over before a canine presence is allowed in their house. <br />Since I'm outnumbered, they win. =)Merlin D.

When he is away from me he calls out "Rebecca!" or "Melanie!"<br /><br />He loves being in the car when I fetch one of my kids. He sits on the back of the drivers seat, occasionally coming down and going back up when I say roundabout, copying my daughter Laura who noticed he does not like it when the car corners too fast. <br /><br />I guess since my illness, I am a house husband. So he goes with me to my psychiatrist too. Then we head for the beach for an hour or two to allow me to relax and we often meet tourists of all ages who love to get closer to him. They like me to take pics of him on their shoulder but some are afraid he will bite them. He never does. He says "hello, cocky?" to them. Cheeky, huh?<br /><br />My better half has had to go to the emergency room twice. Once with a broken finger. She moved away at the wrong time. He is very jealous though. He "moves on" and fake attacks our maltese and a Bull Mastiff/Rottweiler cross who has a chest almost as big as mine! <br />He is only 11 now but will live for another 40 to 90 years. He likes to dance and loves me to humm against him, as it vibrates his entire body. He never leaves my side from the time I get up. Occasionally, if frightened, he spends up to three nights in a tree. He is able to skilfully fall out of it, to the ground when hunger for pistachios and hot sweet tea overcomes his fear of falling.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />My grandchild substitute is a lesser sulphur crested cockatoo. <br /><br />Have a great day!Fungus the Photo!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14879977479841544025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-6381716434704116012010-09-03T19:31:58.878-07:002010-09-03T19:31:58.878-07:00I prefer cats, even if I don't have one.I prefer cats, even if I don't have one.lmnop123https://www.blogger.com/profile/13304937851324793987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-42044914238053319462010-09-03T19:24:33.730-07:002010-09-03T19:24:33.730-07:00Dogs are my preference.

He can sit, shake, roll over, river dance and lay down. We haven't even had him a year and he learned all of that! He's got the best personality and is incredibly patient.

The cats are very independent most of the time, except when the little black one meows in my ear in the morning until I get my ass out of bed.<br /><br />Cats do not like being held, for the most part. If they want it, they come to you. They don't like leashes or being paraded around. Cats aren't ego accessories for celebrities, in other words. ;)Lioness70https://www.blogger.com/profile/02292540256218891372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-51336105708421830922010-09-03T16:08:07.366-07:002010-09-03T16:08:07.366-07:00I'd love to have a dog.
