I really can't imagine how I could feel better... I can't imagine me with another company ... I'm in Brazil, you are in EUA and your words connected us, so this feeling... the most pure love.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04639713094637890825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774688605369751367.post-68648148159168873912014-03-29T08:59:42.476-07:002014-03-29T08:59:42.476-07:00so beautiful and touching.

I guess out of instinct I squished it and then immediately felt bad. Over the last yr or so I've been really thinking hard on this subject of if I have any right to be taking these creatures life away, just because I'm bigger and can and they can be annoying? Of course no is the answer I always come to. So I feel bad :( <br />I've also been thinking about just eating meat in general and how I feel about that. A part of me wants to be a vegetarian and another part doesn't (mainly my taste buds). Oh bacon, why do you have to taste so good? Lol seriously... <br />I definitely think animals(other than humans) have a wider range of emotions than the average person realizes. You can especially see it in cats and dogs. You can see it in a dogs eyes when they feel guilty, sad, or excited. Too bad we can't have a proper conversation with them, would be very interesting.Alia Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10815985202304137831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774688605369751367.post-75347102899557436022014-03-24T12:02:02.764-07:002014-03-24T12:02:02.764-07:00There's something of what T.

Williams appreciated (probably loved) about e.e. cummings in this one - "...someone somewhere could call this weight."<br /><br />It also reminds me of a story I read about R. Frost. A friend of his recollected a story when both men were seated next to a fire, reading. The friend spotted a spider crawling across the pages of Robert's book and assumed that if Bob was aware of the threat he'd kill it. The friend warned him and Robert did nothing. After a pause the friend asked why he hadn't squashed the trespasser. Frost responded, "I refuse to end a thought no matter how small." My memory of this other (forgotten) man's memory might be inaccurate but... I'm sure you're picking up what it is I'm laying down.<br />Mike T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01612045255989343776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6774688605369751367.post-54973895627060353062014-03-24T10:20:09.657-07:002014-03-24T10:20:09.657-07:00Oh, boy.

And anyone...Like you I would never hurt any animal. And anyone who does is nothing but a coward who is too scared to confront someone their own size for fear of being beat. I wish I could say the same thing about insects or rodents. Living with someone who is allergic to bees makes you less sympathetic to something that can kill that person if not helped right away. Rodents just creep me out! Growing up we had a dog that was part beagle and part poodle. Back then she was given to us but now people would probably pay a lot of money for that kind of dog. She was the queen as my mom would tell her and she really was the queen of the house. Being the youngest like you I too thought she was just my dog. We were very lucky to have her for 18 years and losing her was like losing a friend. My parents got her when my mom was 6 months pregnant with me so I grew up with that dog. She looked like a beagle but had curly hair. So we would clip her hair somewhat short but left her ears curly. In our eyes she was the cutest dog and I still feel that way. Haven't had a dog since then but have had many cats which fit my lifestyle but would love to get a dog. Maybe one day.
