I think we all need to be loved and to love. What better than a pet who loves unconditionally?

I adore my animals, even my chickens I consider as pets. All with their varied and interesting personalities who entertain me daily and there's the baby chicks. What a joy to watch them grow up.

I am blessed to have a home and some land where I can enjoy my dogs and cats and different other pets.

Hello Rosetaz, I am new, just joined the group I mean. I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and 2 cats. Titch and Lizzy. They are wonderful company. My dog Basil has changed my life for the better, he encourages me to take him for walks most days, some days I just can't do it.

Those are wonderful dogs. Specifically bred to be a companion that can lay on a lap and keep a person company wherever they go. I have a small dog named Kimmi who weighs about 11 pounds. She has a pretty feisty attitude though being a mix who may have inherited it. Her hair is fine, somewhat curly but long and silky. I like her trimmed up, otherwise you can't tell one end from the other LOL. I have cats and 8 more dogs so there's a lot I can say about each one. Some are close to me all the time, others check in on me but all of them miss me when I'm not home, which is not too often. It feels nice to be missed.

HI, I am new here.

I have clinical depression and find it hard to maintain any sort of relationships with people so I don't have many friends and live alone but I have always had pets. Over the years I have hand dogs and now a cat.
My pets have shown me such love and brought great comfort in some very hard times, I talk to my cat all the time and swear he knows what I am saying. He is a very relaxed cat and is quite happy to curl up with me in the evening when he come home, he is free to come and go as he pleases but always comes home for dinner and fuss. He had a bad start to life as he was abandoned with his brother next to a busy road when they were kittens, I took them both in but sadly his brother did get onto the road and so sadly is no longer with us but Revan is doing very well now. I do have a couple of close friends that come to visit and he is always the star of the show and laps up all the fuss he can.

I feel truly blessed to have had all my pets over the years and Revan is a truly wonderful companion and friend.

That is wonderful, pedro seems to be feeling at ease now and that has to make you feel good. I hope you both enjoy a long companionship.
