I had ferrets, they are crazy little critters. They do like hiding things. The one male I had would climb the curtain, jump from the top to the pillows below. A real dare devil. He did it often. They both had their place at end of the table. They would wait till dinner was done by laying next to their plate.

My little dog greets me at the door with her leash. If that doesn't work she brings me my house keys and her leash. Like lets lock it up and go for a walk.

Dogs are very smart.

Adopted me.

Roberta that indeed would be fun.

Awe, thanks Jeff.

By you, would definitely be fun!!

Cheers dear lady.

Cheers kind gentlemen.

My cat likes to get up in the bedroom widow and look out at the Squirrels.

After I divorced my husband 9 mths ago, I kept our 5 yr old male dog, Hammer... Tim kept the other two... Well, Hammer and I have spent so much time together alone, that he has taken over being the man of the house. So, every time he comes back in from outside via his doggy door, he comes over to me while I'm sitting at my desk, and puts his big wet nose on my cheek and gives me a sniff and a lick to let me know he's back inside, then he goes back to his spot on the couch to sleep. Every so often during the day, he'll come back around and do the same thing just to let me know he's still thinking about me... He's so cool... and he never breaks his routine... he's more dependable than some guys I know.. lol...

Dogs do sense things and they adjust to them. Wonder what he senses from you ? I do feel animals do truly love. Or I just truly love the feeling I get from them.

I fear I spoil all mine terribly, Jeff... and Hammer is very affectionate becuz that's how I raised him to be I guess. Every evening when we get into bed, he crawls up beside me and puts his right cheek against my face. I've seen my female dogs show their pups attention by nibbling on their cheeks, like grooming, etc... so I started that with him after the divorce becuz he knew his brother and sister and daddy was gone and had become anxious over their loss. Now, not one night goes by that I can get away with not giving him some cheek sugar... and if I get tired and try to stop he just pushes his cheek harder against my face until I give in. He' 80 pds, so he's got a big and strong head.. lol.. but I can't deny him what he loves... So, I guess he picked up the cheek sugar from what we do in the evenings, and he returns the affection during the day... animals are so smart and full of unconditional love... that its hard to be sad when they are around, as they sense that too, and do their best to love you into a better mood..

There are two dogs here, where I'm staying at. I love them both. One is a miniature poodle named Coco, the other is a Jack Russell. They entertain me all day. Coco loves to sit in my lap, watching the computer screen. Jack has to be close to my feet or legs. Coco likes to give me kisses then she settles down back in my lap. I put my clothes out of the drier Coco gets in the basket while I cover her with the warm clothes. I throw a towel from the drier in the basket, she will lay there till the warmth goes away then back into my lap. I feel really needed and loved all day.

unconditional love, nothing else like it... and the happy dance for kisses from the smaller dogs is so cute... my sister has a jack russell and she's so feisty.. a little speed demons... who thinks she can leap over tall buildings in a single bound... Coco's little warm treats sound so delicious... I too enjoy snuggling in a blankey fresh from the dryer... she's a girl with excellent taste... and you, Jeff, are her comfy...

My dogs get so excited before I take them for a walk I started spelling "walk" but Boe, the male has learned to spell.

I can just start to spell it saying W, A, L, ... and he knows what I am talking about and starts jumping all over the place.

Yea.. I like that one.. Jeanniebean... Boe is definitely a competent speller... hehehehe... when Hammer was 3 his daddy, my ex, used to take him for a walk down to the creek in the evenings... walked him on his leash.. Hammer got to liking his walk so much that on the evenings that Tim was tired and just wanted to kick back with the remote, Hammer would get the leash from off the hook by the door and bring it Tim with it dangling from his mouth... it was cute as the dickens... what kind of dogs do you have... how many total.. I've got 3... but Tim took 2 with him...

My prissy little girl, Miss Emmie Linn, does not do anything crazy...She spins for treats, speaks on command for treats, shakes hands for treats, and sits pretty for treats....She is up my azz 24/7, cries when I leave the house, will only heel if I bribe her with treats, will only come if I bribe her with treats, and insists on sitting on my lap when I drive (which is against the law in Tennessee)...In my eyes she is the smartest, most well behaved, prettiest dog in the hood and if you are ever in need of a good people trainer, Miss Em's your man...

Boe is a mixed breed who was my father's lap dog and companion. My dad had Alzheimer's and that dog was in his lap constantly and slept with him. He is now taking care of my mom. (and me because he makes me walk him every day.) I also have a schnauzer, that is Boe's mate.
Her name is DeeDee.
