what do you love most about your pet?

 Because it's no politics Monday...

I have a miniature dachshund, Molly, who I adopted 2 summers ago from dachshund rescue.  For the most part, she is an absolute sweetheart.  She thinks she is a pit-bull, but she's terrified of all other dogs (and cats) whenever she meets them.  Molly loves playing with her tennis ball, playing fetch and chasing squirrels.  She goes crazy each evening when I return home from work and no matter how bad the day has been, it is all over when I see her.  The only place she likes to be when I am at home is on my lap.   Molly also takes after me, she likes to travel and is well behaved when we fly.  She doesn't mind being in her carrier under the seat in front of me as long as she knows I'm still there. 

 What do you love most about your pets?

I love all my animals, indoors and out. Life would be so incomplete without them. The cats all have different needs, personalities; the dogs (that own me) are my protection, comfort, and joy. People that don't love animals do not have a heart- I would not call one of them a "friend". Look how many animals save lives- special needs dogs, canine rescuers, etc, etc. I consider my animals better than a lot of people out there in this world and definitely more loyal.

I love that no matter what kind of day you have had they love you unconditionally. They are emotional support I have two doxies that I have adopted. Both were older when I adopted them. I adopted my first one from daschaund rescue and the other came from the Wayne Co animal shelter. I also have my youngest one who I have had since she was a baby. They all are over 10 years old now. I would like to make one more comment-to the people who just toss animals out on the sides of the roads, how would you like it if someone did that to you??? I have been helping to feed a puppy that was dumped out. He was skin and bones when I found him on a busy two lane road in Lenoir county. For over three weeks he dodged cars and we kept him alive with food and water. You see, we could not get him to come to us as he was scared of people. Gee...I wonder why To all the animal lovers-thanks for being there for the animals of the world with your love and commitment.

Oakley is 1 1/2 now - part Akita part Golden. He is such a clown & a tease! He is also very smart which he proved when I took him to a Tricks & Shaping class. I'm glad we rescued Oakley. I love when we have "mommy time" just playing together with his toys. Now if I can only get him to come when called!

I have 3 cat's Scuppers, Maddie & Ana I love the fact they are all different Personality wise . They are all very loving and love attention on thier terms . Thus the saying Dogs have masters, Cats have staff!

I love the fact that he, Dakota, is always near me. He loves my attention and company. I got him shortly after my youngest child went off to school and I call him my baby or my puppy, even after 8 yrs. I even love his "labrasnores".

Aw, I had two mini dachshunds for 17 wonderful years. My baby died just a few years ago. He would have been 20 this year :/

I love dachshund loyalty. But I have two other dogs that need my attention these days.

Ive miss my baby!!

R.I.P Daissy!!!

My four (originally had 7 - but the years have taken 3 from me)cats are the most fun anyone should have. You do not need a TV when you have animals.....they will keep you in stitches. Have Sugar & Spice from one litter and Rocky & Champagne from another...they are all "throw-aways" kitties that others would not take care of....so I am now Momma to four. Can't imagine my life without fur babies to take care of and love!

I have a dachshund, too! I absolutely love him for much of the same reasons you described. He brings me so much joy, love and companionship.

Molly is adorable!

I like the fact that Buddy, my Beagle, sleeps with me every night. He always has to be right up against me. I love all our dogs. We have 3. Bessie Mae (another Beagle) and Cricket, (our Yorkie).
