I am an animal lover. Cats dogs horses or cows. I love most animals.

shouse
You make room on your bed for horses and cattle?

No. But I make room in my heart for them.

My animals run my life, what can I say? The longest period of time that I can be away is 12 hours or so.

I know how that is. But I do much better around animals than I do most people. I think it is because the animals treat me better than most people do.

I have a problem with the fleas, though. But that's another story...

Fleas can be a problem. Last year I had one dog that I could not keep the fleas off. And never found a flea on the other. And they were always together.

Probably the dog with fleas was outside more then the dog without fleas. Also the dog with fleas may have been an older dog and had eggs hatch that may have been on him when given a bath.

They were together 24 hr. a day. And the old dog never had any fleas. They were let out at the same time and in the same place. Even the vet did not know why.

Animals will never rule me !!!!!!!!!!
Well Blaze is hallerin' for me to take her out to play ball...........
Human in training ...

For all you practicing animal types out there I/R Animals

I know. I used to make fun of people like me.

That is very cool gweeptish. Thanks a bunch.

Animals are good people. And I Don't Have Fleas

Yes they are. And I better check before I say if I do or not.

I don't want fleas, but I guess ya could catch worse from some people.

A lot worse.
