We have always had two cats during our married lives (35 years).
Yesterday I had to put our 20 year old cat to sleep. She was in severe renal failure. I could hardly talk to the vet when I brought her in and sat in the exam room for several minutes with the cat before I could leave. Pets become part of the family.

He's 97.5% deaf - so we're the dog owners in our neighborhood always yelling at our pet. g I was with you up until this part: "Animals remember short term events, they learn through conditioning, they do not remember yesterday, last week, last month, last year per say." Animals maybe, but I think dogs 'know' things and remember things. After raising kids you begin to realize that a two year old is just a small four year old - without a vocabulary. Dogs fall into that category - limited language skills. They mostly say it with their eyes. :-) Montblack Coalie was named by the nieces when they were four. He was black like coal. Might have been something they saw in a book? The girls are now sophomores in college. |
