Re: Emotions People n Animals

[Guest guest]

As mother of 4 sons & stepmother to 3 sons, they were always bringing home

something. We had raccoons,possums, wild geese, rabbits, turtles & the usual

stray cats & dogs. We had a Redbone coon hound that would sleep with the

raccoons. Shoulda been a zoo keeper instead of a mom. LOL ne

" Speaking of cats. My husband and i had a rather interesting

conversation/debate about weather or not animals have emotions. I would love

to know what ya'll think about it. "

ABSOLUTELY!!!! Our animals all have unique personalities, and are sensitive

emotionally to different needs and issues. Even all the different fish we

have had all had their own personalitiy (especially Larry the Game Show Host

Fish... lol... well he looked like a game show host!!) Earl would get

depressed if no one poked him or talked to him (he was a black bug eyed gold

fish) so even the fish had personas. Its my opinion that they breathe and

think therefore feel (as in emotional feel.)

I am sure many here agree. I'd be lost without my animals.

Love A.

Several years ago, we had to put our black lab to

sleep, our other dog (the one that died recently)

became very withdrawn. He slepted all day and would

leave if someone tried to pet him. We got another

black lab and he became like a puppy. He was not

withdrawn, he was frisky. When that dog died

recently, our other black lab reacted. My brother

wrapped a towel around our dog and laid him on the

couch as he waited until our mother came home. Our

black lab laid next to him, sniffed him, then went

off. He hid. He hid under the kitchen table and did

not come out until a few hours later. Since then, our

black lab's face expressions look rather sad

sometimes. Animals have emotions and personalities.

Every living form does.

That is my opinion.
