You know, some people treat their animals as just that animals! They dont seem to actually love them. I love my little doggie "Phineas". He is a yorkie and suppose to have poodle in him too (but that is debateable!). I really think that people should be willing to do everything possible to protect and provide for their animals. If you get a pet then make sure you want a pet. My lil Phineas loves me to death and he shows that when i have been gone during the day and i get home he shakes his lil nub of a tail so hard that it will almost knock him over!!! He is also very protective over me and my children. He may only weigh 10lbs but he will make himself known to any1 that he sees as a threat to us. And i know he would fight with all he has to protect us and I feel that it is the least i can do to return the favor for him. I love his lil guts (and the rest of him too!!). All i am sayin is people need to treat their pets as family and not just some random animal.
