[@nikotakai8796]

@@baconvibze2009 I mean, you don't need to see cuteness in animals to think about what they feel and if they should feel that or not. I don't think every dog breed looks cute, yet I don't want any of them to get abused because I know that they feel like us. So do most animals like pigs, cows, chickens, etc. And based on your comment it seems like you do care about chickens. In the end, most people don't like animal abuse because they have empathy, but nobody (the majority) doesn't do what would be needed to stop that abuse: to stop eating meat and other products from animals like milk. I'm not there yet either, but that's definitely the direction we should go (if we like animals). Not only because it's better for our environment, but especially to stop the abuse of billions of animals every year that is only happening because we think they are tasty, even though we don't need to eat them to survive.

You could keep the front door open all you want, but he'd just yawn, curl up in a comfy chair and say, "Nope, not leaving." He also brought us a Christmas present of a dead mouse. Dropped it on our door mat on Christmas morning. Miss you, Lambie!

My parents had a dog like that. She would go out of the house, go all the way around the block to another house which was actually on the same street as them.

Sometimes the people in the other house would call my mom and ask if Shannon could come over, so my mom would let her out and off she'd go to spend time with her 'other' family. Only thing bad about it was the other family got the benefits of a nice dog, but none of the expenses.

@@jeedjervan5252 Yeah, totally understandable. I wish dogs lived longer! However, there are so many dogs that need homes so I will likely adopt in the future. Also, it's better than not having those experiences at all! My doggo Toby was with my parents and I for 14 years, basically half my life (2003-2017), and the experience of having him was incredible. He lived a great life and was a bundle of joy. When we put him down due to cancer, it was the first time I saw my dad cry. I wouldn't change any of it though! God gave us that experience and it taught us many amazing lessons. "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all." -Alfred Lord Tennyson. God bless you!

Growing up, we had a neighbor who owned a small Border collie who was the smartest dog we had ever met! Tasha was trained & well behaved, and would come over to our house every weekday while her owner was at work. She would arrive at 8:30am, and always seemed to know when it was 5pm! She was such an intelligent animal! She first started coming over to see our dogs and kids when they were younger, and continued doing so for about 15 years. She was such a fixture in our house, that most people thought she was our dog! In fact, Tasha once got accidentally locked in my parents house when they took me out to the west coast for a college tour (fortunately my grandmother had a key to the house to let the dog out!) Tasha died at age 17, and is still fondly remembered by my siblings after almost 45 years. I’ve always loved Border Collie’s because of that dog! 😊

Miss Maya would come over daily. My mom’s partner was on oxygen lines so the back door wasn’t fully shut. Sometimes mom would come home and Maya was on the sofa waiting for her. When my mom was done with a visits she would give Maya a treat and she would head home next door. My mom was older so it was like grandma time - all the joy and mom of the work. She died right before my mom did. ❤️
