Yeah. Animals can be more than just animals can't they. We had a Staffy that we got when we were in Queensland for a couple of years. Id be fishing on the rocks, or on the beach and see others with a Staffy. I said to the misses, thats it, we are getting one of those, they are awesome. Guys fish, the dog just sits and watches. See them when we walk on the beach, how good are they. I got a pup. For crying out loud, our turned out to be the polar opposite of every Staffy I saw 😆
He was nuts on steroids! Walk on the beach! He would run out of sight chasing seagulls and crashing into the waves after them. We'd be walking and holding an empty lead, a person would say "did you lose your dog, I saw him way up there chasing seagulls!?" We'd be "🤔 black with a white star on his chest?" Them "yeah think so" Us "😒 yeah he'll come back!" 😆
We called him Taz after the cartoon character Taz the Tasmanian Devil from the Bugs Bunny cartoons. Crazy little rocket he was. But loved people.
He got old and sick 2 yrs ago, was 15 so a good age, had to say goodbye.
Always knew when my misses wasn't well and would stick to her like glue.
Hey, when I was a kid, about 9 yrs old I drove my mum mad to get me a little chick, chicken from a market. Id feed it every day and talk to it.
You know, my mother used to say "that chicken knows when your coming home from school, it comes and waits at the back door every week day for you to come home at 3.30. Funny huh! But it only did it on school days, Monday to Friday. Not weekends, non school days. Clever chicken or what!?
Pets, they get to know you don't they.
I saw the most stupid news story ever last year. Scientists did a study here, given a huge grant to do so and came to the conclusion that dogs form a bond with their owners and know their emotions! 🤔
That must have taken a lot to figure that out huh! Money well spent OZ Govt 😆
Cheers👍
