I work with 10 other people in a law office. One of the partners loves dogs, one just lost his cat and told me about it and I could tell he was upset, and the other? Hmm...he isn't into animals, and will tease me about cats.

The women I work with I would say half have animals of some sort. One woman has WAY more cats than me, so, I am not officially the cat crazy woman, he he he. Only one person is not an 'animal lover'...but, she is very nice about it.

Most people know I am crazy about animals as I send around rescue stuff to most of my email contacts.

I edited this to add: it doesn't really matter to me if someone is or isn't an animal lover (or child lover) as long as they are respectful. I have seen just as much 'disrespect' directed towards animal lovers in the 'real' world as I have seen towards child lovers here on PT.
