My dad used to say we lived on a farm because we always had animals at our house. Constantly rescuing and caring for strays. Growing up, I had a family of 6 and we all have our own pet plus some family pets. I personally have a cat and my mom has a dog that are both well trained (including the cat). My cat even lets me give him baths! We always try our best to let them explore the world and play by going to the park or hiking with us or camping. It’s a fun experience for all of us. Our companions are worthy of our love and compassion because all that’s all they wish for which is exactly what I’m willing to give! All animals should be treated with kindness and respect.
