Yes I'm sorry to say that if my house burnt down I'd save my dogs first! I know that sounds really bad but its true, and this is probably the only place I'd get away with saying it!
I'm also a nurse and love my patients but still if the worst happened I'd save my dogs, does this make me a terrible person?
Well, that sounds "normal" to me .... I was watching something on TV the other day where one of the characters was handling their kids toys and looking miserable because the kid was missing, and it made me think that I suppose that's what it's like for people who feel the same way about their children as I do about my dog and 2 cats. I would definitely run into a burning building to save them, no question.
The Dogs Trust posted this picture on Twitter - it made me smile because it's so true of me! Apart from a few special people my dogs have always been my best friends.
I find animals a lot easier to relate to than most humans (I do have my better half and also a human best friend who are happily exceptions to the rule!). I was actually quite worried about getting a dog - he's my first - but my OH said don't be daft, seeing you with the cats is like seeing a big human cat, and you'll be as easy with the dog too. Turns out he was right!
Aw :) I have a cat that was out in the cold looking very sad who I brought home in 2008, she never shuts up !
Most cats are very chatty if you get them from a kitten and talk to them a lot. Out little moggy would meow 'hello' to us and would be very cross at the birds in the back garden - you could almost have a full converstaion with so much expression in her noises.
Oh I like cats that miaow lots, I like to talk to them!
