Many can relate to this…

  • We always had dogs when I was a kid. I remember getting my face washed by a Spaniel-Mutt mix and an Irish Setter. We also had a cat who would sleep in my crib with me…probably because it was someplace the dogs couldn't reach. I don't know why so many people have such biases against having babies and animals together. Wasn't their own Saviour born amidst animals? Seems He turned out okay.

  • @Quercus:

    OMG!!! that story makes me break out in hives….twin humans, two puppies under a year old...shudder....

    I don't know, sounds like a great reality show to me.

    LOL, good point!

    When my older kids were babies the cat I had then used to always jump in the crib and sleep with them –- never once tried to suck out their breath, LOL.

    My kids have never lived w/out both cats and dogs in the house at the same time.

  • Neither have mine, and we have yet to have any allergy issues in our home..I would not have it any other way..having pets and children together nurtures compassionate humans..in my opinion..

    My friend belongs to the Society, not her Singer! Just reread my post and realized it sounded like the dog did, lol. He's a smart boy, but not up for signing anything legal - yet…

    This was on the news tonight and Senator Dianne Feinstein is pushing a bill through to ban the use of BPA.

    They certainly are DIVINE! There a couple other things that go along with this…He mentioned how they like to lick the water off his feet when he gets out of the shower, and Lulu does this to me all the time...Another is whenever I walk them, they go crazy lunging towards the fire hydrants, not to pee, but to smell...I always assumed they are doing it to smell other dogs' markings, but maybe the water as well. They don't go crazy like that with other places dogs mark, at least not as fervously...It would be interesting to take them out to the dester and let them look for water, and start digging wherever they start hovering... anyone want to try?

    I wish It had an English version, i sent them an email to do that in future time. i think that through Google translator, you could succeed in understanding the general idea. It has many historical facts and results of some archaeological researches… I use the google translator for many sites in other lgs: http://translate.google.com/translate_t?langpair=en|ja#en|el|i%20love%20my%20dog

    Oh! What a nice story! I hope that works out- I could see a bunny being a perfect pet for children with disabilities.
