Thanks all. I liked reading about the kids and dogs. Cute.
From true pet lovers whether a cat or dog many do treat them like children. My mom has a whole conversation with her animals. I always say how they are treated better then kids. I think it helps her to chat with them and the animals like it to.
Mrs D your cats have nice patches of color. I agree with you on the difference/similarities of dogs/cats.
Kitt I agree about the resarch of breed and you know this is for anyone. My family dog was a Cavalier King Charles. This was a long time ago but my mom saw a picture showed me and I said I wanted one. I was young so anyhow we went and got one at a breeder with no research. He was an amazing dog.So sweet and loving and lived to 14 but we found out towards the end of his life that so many have major heart problems etc that are extreme and cause early passing. So even from health aspect of the dog and also of course personality etc.
Well thank you again
