Describe your one true passion

[petlover]

My one true passion would have to be described sort of like..

" Chills and Thrills*

I know that you may be thinking, well what is so spine chilling about barrel racing? Let me try to explain..

Let's say it's your first rodeo. There is a gigantic crowd that night. You start to get the feeling that so many people are watching, if you mess up, all of your friends saw it. I mean, with so many people watching, and not being used to it, it is spine chilling.
The real chill is thinking about your horse making a fall. When your horse is * flying* around the barrel, and it's back legs hit it's front, the horse comes crashing down. That is my one true chill with barrel racing. That is why I always slow my horse down at the barrel.
Now the thrills goes on forever. I get SO MUCH from barrel racing. When I was a little girl, I didn't care about when to kick the horse from the outside, when to pick up it's shoulder, when to sit back and stand up in the saddle. I just knew that I wanted to race, and that racing was the funnest thing I had ever done.
Racing is pretty much my life, now I love the thrils! I love the chills! I love the excitement and the dissapointment!! I just have such a large love for it. Barrel racing is and will always be my one true passion.

Thanks for listening.

Please share your one true passion.

I know this might sound like a cliche answer and many people might even have the same passion, but honestly, my one true passion is CATS.

There is nothing else in this would that makes my heart melt like a cat.

For example: Seeing "road kill" doesn't effect me too badly unless I see a dead cat.
Homeless dogs or other pets don't effect me any where nearly as much as homeless cats.
If I get bitten by a dog grooming customer I have no patience for unruely behavior, but when a cat grooming customer bites (even though the bite is likely to be worse) I just can't get as furious.
I've never met a cat I didn't want to smooch.
And I feel so bad for the ones who aren't loved.
I want to help them all, they are God's perfect creature.

If this offends any dog owners, sorry, but this is who I am. Even though I groom for a living, when I go home, it is the cats that rule and if I don't even see another dog until the next day at work, all the better. I know a few "dog" people who have the exact opposite feeling as me and I accept them.
(I just don't understand them...hee hee)

Everything that Jen said goes DOUBLE for me!!!

Another cliche answer, but mine is Dogs.

There is nothing in this world, like a dog. I've never met one I didn't like. They don't care how you look, if your breath stinks, if you're rich or poor, they accept you for who you are. Every week when I walk into the shelter, and see all the homeless dogs, I can't but wonder why such a perfect creature has to suffer like this. They forgive us for making mistakes, and still love us unconditionally. The way they wag their tails when you come home from a long day, the way they drop the tennis ball into your lap, their desire to please, the different jobs they have to help humans, (EX: Guide Dogs, Search and Rescue, Service Dogs) I could go on and on. They're perfect.

I agree with you %100 Julie. That is the way the love of a dog should be told. I don't really agree with some people about dogs having * blind* love. I think that you have to earn their trust AND love before you can really get through to them. I have never seen a dog just start loving a person straight on from meeting them. I don't think I ever will.
I cry throught the whole ride if I see a dog dead in the road, or a homeless dog in other towns or even states. Any other homeless animal or road kill I don't really cry over, just dogs mainly. I love all animals... But dogs just reach my heart like no ther animal. Same as horses. But you rarely see a dead horse in the road or a homeless one around here, so... Dogs just will melt me. The first time I look into there eyes, or see that tail inbetween their legs, my eyes just swell up with tears. I will ALWAYS bring in a homeless dog, or help it as much as I can every single time I come across one.

I love dogs, but my true passion is cooking! I love to cook and plan on opening my own place one day. I have been wanting to get out of the office and into the kitchen for quite a while. There are many opportunities here, but I can't speak German. I am planning on going back to school for a degree in Culinary Arts.

My number one passion is of course, animals.

My second passion is Muay Thai Boxing. I had shoulder surgury in May, and the soonest I will be able to go back is March. I miss it so bad! BTW, just because it's my passion, doesn't mean I'm any good. I suck! lol. But I still love it.

Also, my job is actually my passion. I actually wake up in the morning excited and wonder what I am going to do for the day at work. I love working outdoors and having constant change.

Interesting footnote:
Passion is one of the few words which, by definition, can contradict itself. Passion means both suffering or agony (in the traditional use) and extreme fondess or enthusiasm. Additionally, it can me extreme anger, rage or fury or sexual desire.

Odd word, this Passion.

Could I honestly put my one true passion into words? I'm not so sure...

A wagging tail, two soulful eyes, floppy ears going every which way, or even upright. Coats of all sorts, rough, soft, coarse and fine. A loud, deep voice, or a high pitched 'yappy' voice.

A heart made of gold, filled to the top -- whether it's filled with love for their human, or for treasures in the backyard. A heart so filled and so strong, that if only the human race could rise themselves to be as great, the world would be a much better place.

Playful, yet laid back at times. Times in which all that's on the schedual is to lay around on the couch watching TV, and eating potato chips, they don't care if all they get is a few dropped crumbs.

Again, those soulful eyes, meaning they see into your heart, your soul -- not caring what's on the outside, as well as allowing you to see thiers, with great compassion. With such charactor, coming in all different colors.

If you haven't guessed it so far...

My true passion is my dogs, other people's dogs, stray dogs, small dogs, TAN DOGS, black dogs, white dogs, brindle dogs, fat dogs, skinny dogs, tall dogs, short dogs,

DOGS.
