Remember that they can't do a lot of things for themselves and that they depend on you to make their life a quality life!
A PET'S TEN COMMANDMENTS.........
1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you is likely to be painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me
3. Place your trust in me. It is crucial for my well-being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment, but I have only you.
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I do understand your voice when speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget it.
7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or uncooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I have been in the sun too long, or my heart might be getting old or weak.
9. Please take care of me when I grow old You too, will grow old.
10. On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
~Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them.
Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters.

That was beautiful Penny. I love my dog just like that.

"7. Before you hit me, before you strike me, remember that I could hurt you, and yet, I choose not to bite you"
Damn right you choose not to bite me!!! Keeps me from choosing to have you put to sleep! :::D

Kind of sad and heartwarming.

Very true. If the animals could only understand us!

I wish I were like Dr. Doolittle or Shlomo Hamelech.

I love animals and have taken care of cats (up to eight at one time) for over 16 years...
I am sure that my favorite cat misses me when I am at work... as soon as I get home she wants to sit on me and rub her face in my beard.

If you try imagining putting your mind or your head in your heart, it is more likely that you will come more on one level with an animal's way of communicating.
Even only barely 'touching' this awareness in an attempt to understand your animal can be very rewarding.
-
When an animal bites you, there's usually a reason for it, and you shoudln't automatically jump to conclusions. I've been bitten by my animals before and you know what? It was my fault.
-
It is an excellent and a very heartwarming topic, thank you pennyjangle. :)

In my opinion, animals are quite a bit smarter than humans.
They actually use the brain they have.

I wish I owned a Great Dane.

Animals are smart, but I would not say they are smarter, or more intelligent than humans.
The Jewish belief is that only humans have an eternal soul and we are capable of free will. Because we have such an advanced mind, we are often tempted to do things which are against our better interest. Animals for the most part will do what they need to survive, it is called animal instinct. Human souls are much more advanced than animal souls, and the human mind is infinitely more advanced than animal minds.
Humans have developed the most advanced communication systems in this world. Our written, oral, and electronic communication systems will never be understood by the animal kingdom.
My own personal beliefs involve the Jewish concept of Gilgul, or re-incarnation. I believe that human souls can often be placed in an animal for some particular rectification the soul must receive. This is why I will often feel like my cats have human soul characteristics.

I wish I owned a Great Dane.
Hi Mo, I have had 3 Great Danes in my life.
I had a Fawn Great Dane ( Mac ), a Brindle ( Mama )and a Boston named Brutus. Great Danes live about 9 years and they eat a ton of food. Most Great Danes are wonderful with children and families.
The bad thing about the breed is they do not have a long life span.

I can't afford a Great Dane, but it would sure be nice. I want a dog that is friendly, won't poo everywhere, will sleep in my bed, can also attack on my command, and understands everything I say. I want a super genius dog who is also super strong. Let him cook, clean, and do the taxes while he's at it.

Intellectual intelligence is only one of more functions of the brain.

I don't think Great Danes are that aggressive.

Robert,
I think you are right because, I, too, had a Great Dane and she was one of the sweetest most loveable large dogs that I have ever had the pleasure of being the proud owner of.

I'm jealous! Can you guys post pictures of your great danes? They are so cute! and the drool is adorable!

I never had a Great Dane; I have only met 3 in the forest some years ago. The first time I was standing and staring a bit in the distance and he came from behind standing next to me trying to see what I was looking at. I never saw one before so it was quite a revelation. I petted him and then he walked further again.
The second time I saw 2 Danes. I wanted to pet them, but they sensed I was angry so they started barking at me. It was this time I saw how sensitive their spirits are.
They are not aggressive at all.

Penny all you need to do is http://register.photobucket.com/
Then upload a picture from your computer onto photobucket. Then rightclick the picture and hit properties. Then it will have a address on it. Highlight the address and hit ctrl and c on the keyboard together. Then go post and press this button (http://jtf.org/forum_english/Themes/default/images/bbc/img.gif) and press in the middle of it with your mouse. Then hit ctrl and p and it should show the address you copied earlier. Then hit post reply and it should come up. I'm sure there is an easier way to explain this. Feel free to message me if you stuck.

Stuck.....it sounds confusing but I'll try and Thank You!

I hope this works.......

Fenni is in the back, front is his timid brother. He's the one I wanted, he has four white paws, it would be easy to clip his nails. Fenni picked me- I was on the floor trying to love his brother when Fenni jumped over into my lap licking me to death! He knew I needed him.

Now I have Fenni, a male I'll never go back to pms females ..........he loves to play & all he wants is praise and food ( just like male guys) :::D
I love small dogs!

Oh, I went by what was on top of your you-tube videos. Pepper because of "her" coat? I like the name Blinky, it's different.

Penny I probably wouldn't have a ferret if my sister hadn't gotten one then not known how to take care of her properly. I adopted her from my sister. They're expensive for basic supplies and vet visits, and of course they need toys too and time out of the cage to play every day in a safe, ferret-proofed room.
My Eva never bit me but I've heard of other ferrets doing it sometimes.
Their teeth are like a cat's teeth, just a lot smaller. Sometimes it's cute to look at her little fangs when I'm rubbing cat toothpaste on her teeth.
Thanks for posting that link Muman.
Also I had forgotten about those videos of Pepper and was surprised to see I'd commented on them a year ago! I was happy to be able to view them again. Your cat is so cute. I'm glad she recovered from the anemia!

I hate cats. I'm severely allergic. My eyes go nuts, my nose and throat go mad, and I can't breathe. Cats are [censored]. Especially when they hiss and look like they are going to kill you.

>:( >:( They are filthy animals my neighbor has three and they love to visit the spot along the front of my house and leave a deposit or two under the ground floor windows. :'( :'( They also spray everything in sight which stinks to be damed. Anyone that has creatures like this in there home really should have a cleaning service just for the filthy cat.

Well what can I say it's the truth :::D

I once had a kitten for 2wks and gave it to a friend's mom.........they don't listen like a dog.
"filthy animals" ..........Cats lick themselves all day long :hair:

My cats are very clean... They keep themselves clean by licking themselves. I think they smell better than dogs...
But now we are descending into the area of grey called taste... Some people prefer dogs, while others, like myself prefer cats... Cats are so much more independent. I dont have to walk my cats... I only have to feed them every day... Some of my cats are very needy when it comes to attention, while others are aloof... I think cats display much more range of emotions than dogs... {again subject to taste}.

Very funny.... I said 'I don't have to walk my cat'.... Did you assume the 'have to' implied that I am not compelled yet I walk them anyway?
-
I like cats and dogs. I always used to prefer dogs. I still think dogs are absolutely wonderful animals. One of mine lived to be 17. I still miss my dogs a lot. I never ever thought I'd be a cat person until Blackie showed up and was hungry then it went from there.

Only dogs that are loved live to be 17.

LOL. No, I actually misread that. wow. I'm an idiot. And I even told a friend I know a guy who walks his cat. I was laughing thinking of u walking it. I apologize for that. I dunno what's wrong with me lately. I'm losing it....
