I am a mother of 3! I love my children more then I do myself or any living thing. 11, 8, and 4. They also love animals just as I do. We are exposed to just about any animal there is to be legal owned. Even a skunk! There isn’t an animal I don’t think they love just as much! My children or compassionate and respectful to animals. They know to be cautious for the elder animals(humans too), or easy and calm for an excited animal. They would receive nothing but “spoiledness” Just as a child, I love animals just the same. I believe animals are just as equal to feelings as a human. I will love those babies as if they were mine! ALL breeds are love! The bigger the better!!! I don’t believe in abuse.
