Is it possible to actually "love" an animal- like a cat or dog? Any Freepers love their pet? How about those with non-traditional pets? Anyone love their cow, horse, snake or pig?

My dog, a Shiba Inu is now 11. I have never had a dog so loving before. A real part of the family. He's doing fine now, slowing up a bit, but knowing what is ahead someday for us is heartbreaking. One of those sad task my Dad would always be the one to do, but this time the burden will fall on me.

But like I said, God made him in the first place and brought us together on this Earth. It is not beyond his power to do it again in the Heaven. There is no doubt animals also hold a special part in the creators heart.

Oh, I didn’t take that as being dismissive at all and thank you for the condolences. When we first got Bill, he was indeed a baby. We started him off in a kiddie pool for the first few years and then I had to build him his own temperature controlled room as he grew larger. In total, I built three rooms (in two different houses) during his lifetime. The last room was a 12’x10’ room with a 500 gallon pool which I still have running. We only handled him out of necessity, for example to clean or work on his room and when we moved.
He seemed to enjoy human interaction but did not like being handled.
