It looks like two people who happen to have on an animal "coat" looking out at me. Not two animals. Do you know what I mean?
Really intense. The're just like, "Well hello. We're here. Now what do you think?".
Love it.

3. I think it was Seth who I read as saying that sometimes people become pets
for a time to be with someone especially dear to them. I can believe it because I have met so many animals who have such personality. Like lildreamer said it is like people put on fur coats instead of human coats for this trip to earth. The last time I was given kittens it was so fascinating to watch them grow and develop a personality, to go from sheer tiny cuteness to tiny cuteness with a person inside. The kitty in my personal pic is Fredric who I believe was my little brother in a past life. In any case he is a very sweet and loving little being and I am so glad to have him with me.

7. I always liked what Seth said about pets...
Didn't he say he spent some time as a sheep dog? I have yet to meet a furred person who didn't have a distinct personality. I try to make a point to say hello to them when they are with their humans.

Sometimes humans seem to forget that we share this planet with other species who are just as individual as we think we are.

Great pic - I love their presence and their comfortableness with each other.

9. don't know about the sheepdog but I only read a couple books & that years ago
The last cats my family got were almost a year old and already had distinct personalitys. I would tell them I released that each of them were powerful spirit beings who decided to come to earth in beautiful little furry kitty bodies and I was honored to be their human. A couple didn't react but one did react. He looked me right in the eye and looked surprised and as if he was thinking 'how did you know THAT???'. anyhow it was a cute look and he became more buddybuddy with me faster than his sibs who arrived at the same time.

12. I have been very blessed to have had some
wonderful life changing relationships with animals throughout my life. My first cat friend at 8 years old, Kitty, was sent to help me learn how to love unconditionally - I am sure of that.

Would absolutely love to attend this seminar http://www.ameliakinkade.com/ - can't this year but have hopes there is a budget for this in my future. :) I have forgotten for the moment the very nice woman (broad something?) on this forum who first told me about Amelia Kincaid. Very grateful to whoever you are!

4. So adorable. It gives me hope for the world when I see that this
dog is clearly enamored with this cat. I love it too.

5. lildreamer
I absolutely love your threads. Just wanted you to know this.

That picture is absolutely beautiful. What I see is that these two "critters" are setting an example for their "humans", and, they are saying, "See, it isn't so hard".

I tend to give our critters a lot more credit than most. I think their intelligence transcends what we humans think of as intelligence.

Thank you so much for posting this, lildreamer.

:hug:

8. Is that a third ear?
Sticking up out of the dog? The area around the cat's neck looks strange, too. Photoshop?

10. I think the "third ear" is actually the end of the dog collar ;=D
However, it does look like an ear. I had to look closer and determined it was the dog collar.

11. When we had a dog she got along with all my cats, she was raised with cats
We adopted her from our best friend when he passed away. We took Katonga Girlie an American Eskimo and Tasha multi-colored tabby.
