I am interested what pets every one has. I have two old Standard Schnauzers (one of which knew I had breast cancer but I fobbed his sniffing off as being a sticky beak at the time), a rosella called A...
The problem I have found with my 13yr old Staffie is that he has no sentience whatsoever. He abhors disturbances of any kind and when he sees me crying he goes running, lol. I have had him since he was 6 weeks old. Too soon to leave your mother but he had alienated himself from the pack and was in danger from the other pups! The rest of them stayed with their litter until they were 12 weeks. He was born insecure and loves to receive anything including food, attention, kids, babies, beaches and swimming. But the horse, Blacky, who is also 13 and who I have had since he was 3 has sentience. He is immovable in his support no matter how much I cry and moan. He feels my pain even though he's never suffered. Cancer is not the only dilemma he has seen me thru or should I say felt thru me. He is my yardstick for life, my raison d'etre.
