pets,do you consider them as your friends or tools to please you???

Of course it is my friend. My parents and I treat it as an important member of our family. When it was ill, all of us feel worry and sad. We called for the vet urgent. And cure it very carefully. When it was healthy again, we had made a celebration for it. We never abused it or treat it as a toy or tool. All my family love it.

I have always had a pet or two in my home.LOL Right now I have two very spoiled cats. I believe they should be part of family. My cats bring me alot of happieness. And they are so loving. Thats how I brought them up with alot of love.

Yes, I have always treated our pets as members of the family. My cats are my babies...and at Christmas I always bought the animals gifts too. Everyone would laugh at me, but I figured, why leave them out? It didn't seem right. I also believe when we adopt animals, they adopt us as well, in a sense, by welcoming us into their animal family. We become a part of their world and they become a part of ours. We really do become like a family, or a pack or pride. I think humans and animals are definitely capable of bonding this way.

Our pets are our babies in the house. we treat them as part of the family.I pity animals that are abandoned and are not well taken cared of. When we shop for our babies food and toys, we try to donate some for other pets.

Hello,friend I have pets when I am in my middle school,however,the day when my family moved from my old house and we settlele down in a big block ,and don't have our own gardens ,so my we must gave my little dog to my grandma who has garden in front of their house. Then day when my little day was took from my family ,all my family members feel somewhat lose ,b/c we regard him as one of my family members not only a dog. We will go to see him wehen I am in my vactaion of course my brother my father and mother.what makes all of us reallly pleased is that the dog grows much bigger and stronger in my grandma's house.my grandma love him very much more than us and treat him as her son.. what I can't bear is that nowadays there is still someone to treat pet only as a tools of pleasure.they all have feelings .How can they do this!

yes i have a really cool cat and he is part of the family.he is our new best friend.they should be treated just like us with all the love and affection too.

My cats are my friends, but they have minds of their own, and they have the tendency of being very entertaining. My cats will do things that are just too funny not to laugh at.

Pets bring a lot of joy to one's life with their unconditional love and their cute and lovable actions. They make a special place in our life and become more like family than just pets or friends... when my pet is ill i sit by his side as i would if anyone in the family would be ill... whenever i eat anything it share with him, i play with him and we even sleep in the same room. and this love and care is not unidirectional.. he also treats us as family. he is very proud of his parents and sisters.. one of which is me.. :)

We have 2 cats, 3 dogs, and 5 birds. We consider them as part of our family. We even talk to them as if they are humans. I feel glad to see my pets especially when I see their happy and cute faces. I really feed sad to those abandoned pets. If I could only take care all of them but I'm not that rich to do that. And I also feel sad to those pets who are abused by their owners. They are only animals and they should be loved. LIke my pets, they are all kind to me. I feel like my problems are relieved whenever I see them. I always carry and hug my cats and dogs. I always stare at my birds because they are so cute to look at.

I have a few pet cats and they are more than my friends, they are my family (in some cases better than family but that is another story and I am not entirely serious when I say this before anyone gets their knickers in a twist...) I detest and abhor anyone who abandons animals. I hate people who are wantonly cruel to them. Animals are just like people in a lot of ways, they want to raise their young, show and be shown love and affection and just be left alone to behave the way God created them.

Neither. My pets are part of my family.

I have had numerous pets during my lifetime, and they always seem to be acquired to serve a purpose, then make their way into your heart as a family member. For example, my friend got a dog for security issues, something that would alert her as to when someone was outside her home. Her "watchdog" not only let her know when there was someone in the yard, he would literally beat his head up against the door as if to knock and introduce them. She found this behavior cute and began allowing him entry into the home when the weather was bad. It surely progressed into Duke becoming an indoor pet as opposed to a watchdog. I acquired a cat once, for the sole purpose of taking care of mice at the barn. I took care of it, but tried to keep myself "distant" so I wouldn't get attached and break down and allow the cat into the house. Well she took upon herself to sneak into the home to have her kittens! Needless to say, the mouse problem was remedied and after giving away the majority of her litter, she "moved in" with us. Now I have a black cat who adopted my family. He was considered a stray, but seemed to like my teenaged daughter for some reason. She never really would show him the time of day, but he so dotes on her! His whole day is about waking her up for school and eagerly awaiting her return home from school. Occasionally, he will allow me the honor to scratch him!

I love all my pets, very much, and I hate it, that people get and abandon their pets. If you get a pet, you should have it for life. I think they need to put these people in jail. I am worried about what's going to happen to mine, when I die. I'm going to have to address it in my will.

Once upon a time ,when i was young,we have a black dog .She is leyal and friendly and have gave me great pleasure,I consider she as my good friend just because she trust and depend on us and she dose really know what we want she to be.

I believe a pet should be part of the family, I have always had a cat and my cat is like my baby, I love them and treat them like I would if they were my baby, they deserve that all animals should be loved...

I have 6 pets....2 dogs and 4 cats but I can honestly say that none of them are neither friends nor tools for me...they are part of the family..

I definitely consider a pet as a friend.

Hi, I have dogs as my pets where I live now but over my life I have had many types of pets, some of them I had as enjoyment only but as far as I am concerned if you take on a pet for what ever purpose you are cmmitted to look after that pet for the rest of its life. I have been told many a time that I would noy be me without my animals. My dogs are my best mates, I sometimes prefer their company to humans. Ifind they are good listeners and never give you any backchat and their love is unconditional. SO PLEASE LOOK AFTER YOUR PETS AS THEY HAVE FEELINGS TOO.

well, we have 2 old dogs but i don't consider them as my friend nor just a tool to please me. For me they're just an ordinary house dog. Well they don't have breed or so but i really do like them because i feel secure when they're around.

yeah i have a pet dog called kokey...his a chihuahua breed..and he is cute like the owner.hehe
