Biggest Bunch Of @!^&^%$@$%^%

Hmm, sounds to me as though your friend has a whole lot of issues going on and she is taking it out on the pets. What is her home life like? How do her parents treat the dogs.

I agree, that it would be a good idea to introduce her gently to the way animals should be treated.........and try to have her realize that she will get 1,000 fold back when she even tries 1%.

But why is she so angry?

I have no idea why she is so angry. I also don't know why she is taking it out on her dogs. You guys are right, she definately has some issues that need to be sorted out. Her parents aren't that nice to the dogs either. Not an animal loving family obviously. I called her today and asked her why she didn't like animals. Here is how the conversation went.

Jan: How come you don't like animals?
Miranda: I do... sometimes.
Jan: You can't just like animals sometimes.
Miranda: Well, I like them when they are not drooling, tearing something up, or putting their cold nose on your body.
Jan: Ok, bye.

I was REAL upset. I have tried to show her that the love of a pet is like no other. She just will never understand, or give it a chance I guess. Boy, what a sad life she will have.

Oh well, it's her fault. Whatever happened that made her so angry she needs to put behind her, and feel the love of a 4 legged creature.

After reading this I've been thinking about the first time I ever lived with a dog. I was 19, in college, sharing a house with other students. And a big dog.

I grew up with cats, was a "cat" person.

I think a lot of people not only don't understand dogs, but fear them. And a lot of people not only don't love them, they dislike them.

So you can be in tune with some pets but not others. Both species and individuals.

You can help your friend learn a lot if you keep trying to communicate with her.
