OK 'fess up.....

[BastetsMum]

Well out of Bastet and my pet rock Bob ... I would have to say Bastet wins hands down!

I prefer her company to most of my human friends!

No favorites here.......I love Mimi because she is just so easy, and seems to fit into whatever situation she is faced with. She is 13 years old (young) and is as lovable as the day she came to live with me (six weeks old). But Butter came as a mean adult cat, and I mean, MEAN. But I love him dearly and since our move, three weeks ago, he has become a different cat. No meanness to him anymore. Hurray!! I've always said that if I had to choose only one of my multiple pets (3 dogs, 2 cats, 2 Cockatiels and a hamster), it would be Mimi, but only because she has been here the longest and been through every life change with me. But I love them all equally.

I love all 3 of my furkids equally. There are some qualities of each that I like the best though. Storm is the first cat that I've owned by myself, he picked me to be his owner, since I nursed him back to health shortly after I adopted him,we've formed a very strong bond, he's a very social cat, he's a great big brother to his 2 younger brothers, he likes to cuddle with me when I'm in bed. Pepper is a big sweetheart and an even bigger mama's boy, since I adopted him at 9 weeks old he thinks I'm his mother, he's a lap cat and likes me to give him hugs and he's very easy going. Sunny is very energetic and entertaining, he's a lap cat, he's orange and I have a soft spot for orangies, he's the baby and he knows it, he likes to talk to me, and he's the aerobics instructor for Storm and Pepper.

O.K I feel like I'm breaking some Pet owners code by saying this but...SSSSHHHH Hercules is my favorite We are just SSOO attached. It's like he reads my mind sometimes. It might be becasue I saw him being born and raised him since he was 1 second old!He is my shadow. If anything ever happened to him (or any of my pets) I don't know what I would do. Don't get me wrong though. I love all my pets. They all have different thing I love them for.

[shais_mom]

I'd like to say I love them equally. I do really.
But over all:
Shaianne (rainbow Bridge) is probably my favorite I still talk about her like she is alive. And she was the first dog I could say was all mine. I still cry thinking of her.
Kylie is my first Kitty that is really mine. And she helped me thru Shaianne's death, and I saved her from God knows what in the home she was in so we love each other. She is very happy here. I love her softpaws on my face while I am sleeping.
Keegan is the first dog I have had as a puppy. She will probably be the closest to me of the 3 hopefully. Since I raised her from 6 weeks. She doesn't understand me like Shaianne did. Shai and I could look at each other and she knew what I was thinking. Keegan is totally oblivious simply b/c of her age. I had really doubted the closeness her and I had for a long time. Almost up to her first birthday. I didn't doubt that I loved her, I doubted her love for me. B/c we don't have the closeness that Shaianne and I did. But the first time I took her to the dog park to meet Amy and Anna and I was afraid to let her offleash b/c I was afraid she wouldn't come back to me even in the fenced in area. When she wouldn't go out of my eyesite and wouldn't let me out of her's I knew that we had "it". And she came back when I called!!! (that's a big deal for me!!!). Then the one time I was there and had to go to the bathroom and she sat and watched out the fence until I came back, wouldn't go with the other dogs, Diana, Amy, Anna. NOONE!! I thought "awwww she really does love her mama!!!"
I am not saying that we have what Shaianne and I had. It is kinda like loving a person, you love each of your pets differently. They love us unconditionally and we love them the same, we love each and everyone of them differently!!!! Does that make sense?

[wolf_Q]

A very difficult question here......I don't have a favorite, but I will explain a little bit about my relationship with each dog.

My parents brought Smokey home when I was 2 years old. They got him as a friend for me. Smokey and I have always loved eachother, but he's always been OBSESSED with my mom. He can't be out of her sight and follows her everywhere! So I love my Smokey boy dearly, but he definitely loves my mother more...I think I am in second place.

Reggie is like my brother. My dad took just me with him (and didn't tell me where we were going) to pick him up. He was the last pup in a litter (my dad's friend had the mom) that nobody wanted. He rode with his little paws on my shoulder all the way home. After we got home, I did not see him much for a while though lol. My sister totally mauled him, and wouldn't let anyone else see him. I think that's why Reggie still doesnt' care for her....but Reggie became MY buddy. He always wants in my room every morning and wants to be with me. To him, I am the favorite.

Nebo is like my child.....very pathetic, lol. I have wanted a siberian husky all of my life. It's what I've begged for at every birthday/christmas for years. Well, my sister got McKinney and I watched him for 3 weeks...then Melissa got a dog...and well, there was one long night conversation about the topic of dogs. It didn't really go anywhere, but I had a "maybe" which was completely MORE then I had ever got out of them! And then I ended up in the hospital this summer, and I think my parents finally decided to give in then....and now I have my baby Nebo! I was quite worried that he hated me at first. We didn't "connect" at all...I know this sounds pathetic, but I even cried a few times because I was so upset that I thought my puppy hated me ..of course Nebo didn't "connect" with anyone...he was a complete snot! He's a big teddy bear now.

Shais_mom, I understand how you feel with Keegan, it really reminds me of me and Nebo. I know Nebo loves me now, but he loves everyone in the family. Some time I'd like to see if Nebo would act like Keegan did in the dog park! He *does* listen to me better than anyone else...and my mom says he looks all over the house for me when I'm not there, but I am yet to witness this for myself lol.

I think there is sometimes a little more of a connection for a dog that is really yours, vs. the family dog. I don't know, but I just love knowing that I paid for him, I feed him, I spoiled him, I trained him...etc...

wolf_Q.....just to let you know that you aren't pathetic, I cried when I thought Calvin and I were not "connecting" (and that was just earlier this year....I am 40 years old)

Now that some people confessed, it shows that we are just human. I love ALL my furries, and I TELL them that, every day, individually. It is just, some put a bigger paw print on your heart.

Well, since I only have 2 to choose from, I'd have to say Max. Although Speckles is very loving she's not very easy to maintain and I can't really clean her ears or hold her in any way. Don't get me wrong, I love her just as much as Max, but with Max, at least he lets me "fuss" with him from time to time. Besides in the middle of the night when he rests his head on my shoulder and purrs up a storm....well....let's just say it's absolute love.

But then again...when Speckles crawls underneath the blankets and cuddles up to my tummy....well that's absolute love too.

I just don't know....

[catnapper]

Isn't it obvious? Pouncer is my baby! Oh sure, Allen and I snuggle nicely every night, and Nicki was my first love, but Pouncer has stolen my heart completely and totally! It's all your fault, Jen!!!!

It looks like someone has brought an old thread back from the dead and I'm glad because I missed it before. I would have to say that without a doubt my Andy is the big lovebug around here and thrives on my attention. He loves being with me and purrs and drools with pure delight when I cuddle him. Although Trevor is a sweetie too, he is very laid back and much more independent than Andy. He visits my lap when he feels like it (believe it or not he is in it now though as I am typing) while Andy actually comes when called and would be in my lap all day if I'd let him.

As much as I love both of my boys, I do believe that Andy reciprocates my love much more. I know that Monte and Marius are also lovebugs so I do believe we have a definite pattern here with our loving white kitty boys.

I love all my animals dearly. Katie, as she is my oldest, 12 years, and is what I call my clingon, as she always seems to be clinging to me whenever I am sitting or laying down. She is behind me right now on my computer chair.
My Buddy, as he is such a faithful, loving companion who is also a magnet to me. Whatever room I am in, Buddy is in.
Mooky is more a daddy's boy, but he does have his moments with me.
Then there is my little Chipper. He is just a little bit higher on the heart monitor. Whenever he looks at me, my heart just melts. Maybe it's because he is still a baby of 7 months, but he is my special boy.

[Cincy'sMom]

I missed this thread the first time too, but it is a good one!

I think seeing this thread, at the ed of 2003, instead of a year ago, my answer is different then it would have been originally.

Sadie is my angel girl. I can never find the right word to describe the bond I have with her and tears well up in my eyes when I even try to. She is my baby.

When we first got Cincy, I wasn't too sure about her. i mean I loved her and was always worried about her (she had health problems at furst), but she was more independent then Sadie. Sadioe was always by my Sadie, Cincy would go lay in the other room. ABout the time of her first birthday, she was getting closer to us, but not quite there yet. Now at 2, she is a different dog. By doing therpy work and freestlye together we have bonded so much more. And now, she too is often right by my side.

Of course, last year Spot was not even a consideration, we didn't know yet he was out there. He is sucah sweeheart though. He always wants to snuggle.

Most evening you can find me on the couch, underneath 3 puppers And I love them all equally, but differntly
