  greetings, pet owners and lovers:.

  while i have no pets of my own, i do care for dogs and cats and have cared for bunnies and guinea pigs in the past.

  i'm working on an essay with an 11-year-old student, and the subject is symbiotic relationships and how humans learn from their close interaction with animals.. here is a portion of the reference material under study:.

  Despite his own discomfort, his main focus was on greeting me and letting me know he loves me. I knew that in his heart he was on his hind legs leaping and spinning with excitement like the puppy he once was. If that's not loyalty and unconditional love, I don't know what is. -- Pete Zahut

  I cup my hand round her tiny calico face and compress her from ears to end down the length of her slender body. Repeat. And repeat. If l stop she will nip my thumb again. A sweet little tyrant. But l am hers now. -- humbled

  I vowed I would never put myself through this emotional trauma ever again my body wouldnt be able to take it. -- smiddy

  Yes it sad when they die but we look at the life they would not have had and the joy they have given us. -- Still Totally ADD

  I want to be everything my cat believes himself to be. -- slimboyfat

  I take being human as it is, with its good traits and bad traits. -- scratchme1010

  A thread calling out for a cute hedgehog picture. -- Amelia Ashton
  

  Thanks for your fine comments. Words to remember.

  I'll be caring for a "comfort" dog for an entire week, and, true to the name, he does provide comfort. He helps to destress me because I allow him to by concentrating on him and his needs.

  Cults sure know how to indoctrinate it out many. -- jp1692

  But no healthy affection is really completely unconditional, because there are things even those we care about the most could say and do that would weaken or break our affection. -- slimboyfat

  I feel lucky that I know or have known two dogs with wonderfully warm personalities. -- LoveUniHateExams

  Thanks for your observations and experiences. I tried to reply yesterday but my post got hung up and I quit.

  i have made repeated attempts to move on with my life despite your decision to plague my every thought and move.

  i cannot move forward.

  a change of venue, that of diet, even new clothes have afforded me a frivolous and temporary elevation of spirits.

  Thanks, Tara!

  Some people need a poke!

  Edited to add:

  Now I get it! I asked a question, viz., "WHO ARE YOU?", and you both replied. Takes so little to throw me off track!

  Thanks, punk and Tara.

  I appreciate your pithy posts; would you kindly explain. Your meaning is probably obvious, but I just awoke and the cobwebs have yet to clear.

  IT'S A STRANGE TWIST, somewhat for the better, but not a totally satisfying state of affairs.

  More and more of my family's younger members, raised as Witnesses, have left the organization (some very recently). On the one hand, I am grateful once again to be in contact with them. On the other hand, however, I feel bad for their still-in family who must grieve for their "lost" children.

  We all lose, somehow or another . . .

  Greetings, Pet Owners and Lovers:

  While I have no pets of my own, I do care for dogs and cats and have cared for bunnies and guinea pigs in the past. I'm working on an essay with an 11-year-old student, and the subject is symbiotic relationships and how humans learn from their close interaction with animals.

  Here is a portion of the reference material under study:

  "Pets teach us more about love than any person or thing. We understand
  

  the true nature of unconditional love without expectations. The true
  

  nature of forgiveness is forgetting and letting go of grudges. We
  

  learn uninhibited, unreserved affection by giving our full attention.
  

  Understanding love is a feeling and doesn’t require words. Love is
  

  felt in the heart by making eye connection, being in someone’s
  

  presence and through physical touch."

  Knorr on 1914: "I don't know." - Mouthy Alert!

  dear mouthy and other denounced ones,.

  you may find this double standard $%^@#@*&!

  "in 1975, knorr made a remarkable and candid statement to the governing body, which confirmed his growing disillusionment until his death two years later: ["]'"there are some things i know --- i know that jehovah is god, that christ jesus is his son, that he gave his life as a ransom for us, that there is a resurrection.

  Hey, CoCo, l hear Errol Flynn aged suddenly with all that wild high life. Watch out! -- humbled

  You're right, humbled. I saw an image of him at 50 years old, just before he died, dissipated and worn out. I wondered how "I" got into that photo!

  greetings, fellow lexophiles:.

  last night, i watched a cool road movie, the trip, with steve coogan and rob brydon.

  they were counseled by steve's dad to take an "anticlockwise" route home, rather than the clockwise one steve had proposed.

  Here's a word I like: butterfly. It sounds quite nice as it is but if you switch the initial sounds you get 'flutter-by'. -- LUHE

  How about the French equivalent for butterfly: papillon
