>>>… that doesn’t make me a psychopath.

Was the toy you gave dog a loud, annoying squeaky toy?

I love beef and bacon, Chicken wings.

Not big on cat or dog meat in my asian fiid though. Mooshoo pork?

Furries love animals so much, which is why they are so perfect, normal.

Question: how about loving ficticious animals like unicorns and....barney(so adorable!)

[HighSierra5]

I like other people’s animals.

[lee martell]

Correct. People do not ‘have to’ like certain animals, just b/c those animals are popular or commonplace with the majority.
I’ve never liked being told what it is I’m supposed to be liking.

Well duh

[pissant]

I hate rodents, small dogs (is that redundant?), starlings, racoons, and every biting insect under the sun. Oh, and coyotes, unless thy are eating the small dogs

[crusty old prospector]

I am waiting for the day I can dig a hole in the backyard.

[Jamestown1630]

LOL!

You love that dog, and you’re just playing.

[crusty old prospector]

In my line of thinking, only a miscreant would allow an animal to drop a deuce in his abode. Why don’t I bring in a cow, pig, or horse? Come one, come all!

[Jamestown1630]

Have you ever had a child?

[crusty old prospector]

Plenty. They didn’t drop their turds on the carpet.

[Jamestown1630]

Did you ever change a diaper?

[crusty old prospector]

Well, bye.

[Jamestown1630]

Good night. You’ve been amusing.

Ha-ha! That’s a nice story. It shows how sometimes, people can change, even before they themselves know they are ready to change. Most people, especially some men, are looking for a good excuse to express their affection and devotion. Sometimes the recipient is their Wife and Family, their Faith, Job, Sports, Politics, their Car or maybe even their Front Lawn.

This is one of many reasons gift giving at Christmas remains a popular American custom. Most people love to give their love away. We NEED TO do this from time to time in order to be spiritually fulfilled.Too many of us look around and decide, no one or no situation is ‘worth’ it at that time.
We decide to keep our inner light under a bushel basket, where it is ‘safe’.

My Dad had always had animals - he raised baby squirrels on nipples as a kid, and always had dogs and even skunks! for pets.

On the day this happened, I think he was just pissed at his sister :-)

men with a high sex drive or 'libido' are more likely to be a narcissist

Baloney. I am not a narcissist.

>>>I like animals
“There is room at the table for all of God’s creatures.

Right next to mashed potatoes.”

I agree.

I made great friends with a half dozen dumpster cats at an apartment where I lived with a can of tuna. They were desperate for petting and kind words.
