Look at animals who help people, like dogs and dolphins. What do they get in return?......... not a ******* thing

I can't speak for dolphins but what exactly do dogs want or need that we don't give them? I don't really see dogs as subservient to humans either. We provide them with what they want and need to be happy, and do the same in return.

yeah, it's a two way street.

sure if you've got a broken leg after barely surviving an avalanche in the French alps, no siamese is coming with a little barrel of port to keep you warm.

that's what's so cool about cats.. they'll leave you do die.. bless em'

I love the image of a Siamese with a little barrel of port. heh

I say that for dogs too because they blindly help humans, even when their owners are abusive. This applies to situations where a cat or abuse child would have run away at some point. I kind of see them as servants to us because domestic dogs were selectively bred to retain infant (or puppy) characteristics in order to be able to train them (adult wolves don't bark or play, only the pups do).

So it does benefit them if they have a good home. But really, they're at the mercy of humans whether the owners are responsible or neglectful. Such an arrangement would not be possible with other creatures that retain their more natural instincts, not even our closest animal relatives. It's just my perspective anyway.

It was actually sunny today. I'd forgotten how much sunshine can dispel the ordinary blues. For the first time in months, it appears that there is no chance of snow on the horizon for the next few days. That's a friggin' miracle.

 

[PoWer2tHePeOpLE]

enjoy

where i live there is nothing BUT sunshine pretty much all the time.. kinda makes me feel like i should be out there doing something. spending days indoors when the weather is screaming, 'PICNIC! NOW!you pale cave dweller!' can almost make me feel guilty blowing all these perfect days off.

 

[zero]

children and animals...)... I guess that puts people first.

 

[The Wonderful Sin]

Depends on the being. I like a couple people more then any animal, but there are some animals I can't stand. lol, but mainly just Snakes and Spiders... But I like animals more than most people.
Cats are great. Cats are drawn to the lonely.

... and anyone who is sitting there with an open book. My cat can ignore me all day long but the minute I sit down to read, he's right there, on top of my book.

I get a kick out of that.

Like right now, he's sitting on my mouse pad trying to be all nonchalant.

 

[The Wonderful Sin]

lol, Yeah. But you seem lonely when you have an open book. lol.

 

[Broken_Doll]

Most of the time I prefer my pet chickens and my pet cat to people.

lol

they are the masters of nonchalant

no matter what they are up to that may be seem irritating they can just look at you like it's all all in YOUR head.. "what's your problem? get over it monkey-boy"..

love em'
