My children are all adults and moved out years ago. Therefore, all my time and dedication belongs to my furry friends; my babies, is what I call them. They get all of my attention and love. Let me put it like this, "I prefer spending my time with dogs than with people." They are the best companions! And their loyalty is immeasurable. I enjoy getting to know their personality/ individuality which is a very important factor for understanding and discerning your pets needs. The most amazing experiencing and joy is connecting with my furry friend to the point where we're in sync. I believe pets are intelligent beings and the more we love them and are attentive to them the more human like they become; or maybe it's the other way around lol. We can never love them enough because they truly are part of the family.
