I love animals. I am a vegetarian because I am totally against having animals suffer for the sake of my nutritional pleasures. I am part of an animal rights group. I teach my kids to be kind to any insect that enters my house. But I would never have a pet in the house. No compromise. I wont let an animal lick all over my face and hands. Never. Maybe because I am a neat freak. I was just hoping that there are people out there who love animals as much as me but cant share bed and sofa with them.
I can't have a pet due to the living circumstances at the moment, but once I settle down with a partner I would definitely want to have pets. I used to have them and they brought a lot of joy in my life.
It would be sad for me to live all my life without a pet, because my partner doesn't like to share his living space with them.

I have 9 dogs, and 5 or 6 cats...
My oldest dog died last December.
He was 14.
My longest relationship only lasted about 6 years, on and off, mostly off...
Trading my pets in on a woman's love, is never gonna happen.
to each their own...might I suggest tho that you never own a pet and keep it outside only because that's cruel.....pets need interaction...love and socialization and they count on us to take care of them.....

I agree totally. I hate to see cats or dogs outside in the summer or winter especially and REALLY hate to see a dog chained up outside.
mollybaby: I have one squashed against me at the moment, fast asleep
I have two cats and I love the affection they give me. I feed them hard food but in the a.m. they split a can of soft food, so if I sleep in, one cat gently pokes me in the face or she gently plucks at my hair, my other cat runs around wild like a stallion and meow's loud and constant. When I get up, I ask them "who's hungry" and they both rush me and one meow's as if she is saying "I am". Then they race to where I place their food. It's so cute and funny. Also, I will ask one of my cats " are you pretty?" and everytime she answers with a meow.
Like you .. I love critters and also care for them ... just as I do humans.
With that said I do have boundaries in my living space ... like insects for example ... bed bugs ... lice ... mosquitos ... rats ... brown recluse or black widow spiders ... vermin of all sorts. Human vermin included .. I just will not have them live with me and get all kissy face .... so to speak.
Not interested in spinal meningitis ... polio ... malaria ... syph .. ghono ... having what I love and care for to be damaged or destroyed ... or even stolen.
However .. there are family members that I do live with .. and some of them are dogs, cats, ferrets, gold fish, hampsters ... that make me a wealthy soul.
I do not mind giving my child a bath with a shampoo ... so if I want to take in a dog with my step-son or daughter ... they get tossed into the shower as well.
I'[m the same way..Makes the house stink the people stink and their clothes stink.
Those who allow animals to live in their home can't smell themselves because they're immune from the smell.
I'm able to stand beside a person and smell their animal without seeing the animal.
In saying the above I'm not saying people who allow animals to live in their home are dirty at all but let's face it animals have a scent that isn't kept to themselves
