I notice that many ladies on this Forum love their pets and get a lot of satisfaction and love from them.....the pictures posted are often very sweet. However ,I could never live with a pet! Maybe I didnt grow up with them although my Mum loves dogs. My Dad would never have a dog hence no pets in my life. My OH loves dogs too but i really really couldnt imagine having a cat a dog a goldfish, hampster rabbit or anything living in my home. Am I the only one??
love all my children and grand children to bits and may be I have never needed the love of a pet.
Please dont shoot me down in flames!

We always had both when I was growing up. This is the first time I have been without cats since my my last two died. Because I go away a lot I won't have any at the moment but I miss having them so much and love visiting friends who have them. I adore cats. When I am a little old lady sitting knitting in my rocking chair perhaps then I will have a couple again. Meanwhile I am enjoying my gallivanting too much.

Definitely a Dog lover - have had a dog or dogs for over 30 years, ever since I have had my own home - and I cannot imagine a life without a beloved pet. To me, a house is not a home without one. Dogs rule !

I'm a cat lover, having had three of them over the years.
The latest we've had three months. He's a rescue cat from the Blue Cross charity and is called Noodles!

Sometimes it is luverly gadding about, for an hour or so, without my little dog in tow..... But within the shortest period of time, it feels like I am missing something...... yeah, HIM!
And sometimes it would be so nice to be able to sit down with a mug of tea, or coffee, and something to eat, without someone or several coming to check whether they can sit on my lap, and share whatever I am having at that mo.... Like now, the inevitable purring teacosy is planted firmly on my lap, with his face firmly tucked up against me.
They are like messy and oftener than not naughty kids, but I couldn't imagine a life without them!!

You're not odd Splash - Im not overkeen on the four legged type. Brother had a labrador when we were little many years ago, but nothing since. They dont bother me, just never had the urge to have a pet (2 sons, 1 ex OH and current OH were enough for me!!).

Good Morning Splash and Everyone,
I havent always had animals, when I was young, due to the fact we travelled so much we were encouraged not to have any pets at all. Since I have been married we have still been in the same position, travelling around the world a lot.
Since we stopped gallavanting, we have had two beloved cats, who both died in the same year, one got run over, and the other died of kidney decease. I miss them terribly.
I now have a six year old Cavalier, he is spoilt rotten, but couldnt imagine our life without him, he gives us so muc back in return. He rules the roost, is mischievous, gets his own way most of the time, and he makes us happy.

Just checked the Rules For Life and as far as I can see Splash, you don't have to have a pet. As you know, I have 5 dogs, 2 Chinchillas and 2 Goldfish. I'd hate to be without the dogs, in fact I don't even want to imagine it (even with the scoopy thing!!!!). They keep me fit and get me out of the house, I've met people because of them and they just give unstinting love and demand little in return. The chinchillas and the fish were all rescue cases - I just have 'Soft-touch' written on my forehead.

Afternoon Slash, think I like that new name!LOL
I have a spaniel as you may have seen on other posts, and she is our second spaniel. I love her to bits and love having a dog around, but Mr Snowy and I intend to go without for a while when she is gone, as they are such a tie, and we really want to go travelling for several months to Oz and NZ. Whether I could live without one altogether forever I'm not sure.

I inherited my cat from my neighbours when they moved. I love her to bits but at the same time I wish I didn't have her. I wouldn't be without her now but we've had our wings clipped and don't travel about nearly as much as we did before we got her.
She is such a sweety though and has us both wrapped around her little paw..
