a few months ago we had a family bereavement... our dearly beloved guinea pig! o he was such a very special lil bloke! he would chat to you about everything that had happened to him during the day, he would happily be dressed up and 'pose' for photo shoots! but he was always there.... my point? when my younger daughter was really very ill and house bound he was her very best friend. he knew all her secrets wishes and fears. he never let on, but was always there...... he knew what we were saying to him, and he came back to us with his opinion too! but as a friend he was the best you could ever ask for! a few years ago when i had my first child, my dog and my cat were the two best babysitters i ever had! if that baby stirred even slightly, one or other came to get me to tell me1 do you have pets that have gone above and beyond? x

Hi Wendie, Oh yes all mypets know secrets about me and like your dog and cat my cats also used to alert me when the baby was stirring. It is fantastic that your daughter had such a close attachment to her guinea pig but yes they do in fact talk back to you. The dearest animal we had that we too have recently lost was a hamster called Angel and my son was so attached to him as was I, he would sit on my shoulder whilst I was on computer and chat away bless. Heartbreaking when you lose them isn't it. Huggles. Ellie :D

Hello wendy I have a cat as a pet and I have her since she was a baby. I don't have a baby though, I'm not married yet. My cat always wants to play with me all day and if I ignore her once, all my stuff would be all over my room, including newspaper, comb, make-up, slipper, and everything else.If I stay on bed in a day time, she will gets herself underneath my bed sheet and start scratching me all over. Worst if she ever gets my hair. If I woke late in the morning to feed her as I work in a night time, first she makes a noise, meowing so loud, and messed all my stuff. If I was still lazy to get up, then she will come and sit properly on my chest and scream "meooooooow!!!! so loud and angry at my face until I get up and feed her. She is annoying me too much that now I can't leave her anymore though she makes me angry all day. I feel kind of weird not having her by my side even for one day. I got used to having those days with her already.....:)

o bless him! i don't know if its because they are conscious of how small the baby is and is therefore protective, or is it because they love us and know the little person is special to us? x

Our pets have always given much to the family, they are a constant comfor when we are ill, they protect us from any possible dangers, by waking us from sleep when things are not going as usual and they keep all our secrets and our ranting totally private. Our presant hound dog is a perfect lady, if she is worried about something she comes into my bedroom and just places her nose on me. BOY THERE IS NOTHING QUIT LIKE WAKING TO THE FEEL OF A COLD WET NOSE FROM A DEEP SLEEP

Hi wendie,Yes I do have pets and they also know all my secrets that no one knows.I do have 3 hamsters and 4 doggies. They are really adorable and for me they are one of my best buddies all the time. They let me feel better when I am down and I have no one to hug. My three hamsters sleeps in my room and every happiness and sadness I experience,they are present. I love them a lot and my dogs too. They sleep in the first floor of the house to guard me around. Without them,I don't know how to survive problems I experience every moment of my life.

Nope but my momm has!!! She does alot of outside work and she was gardeding one day when she had a heat stroke! She was out for about 10 min. and would have been longer had not her dog twittles came and found he on the ground! He ran to the front and started barking constantly!!! My neighbor knew he wasnt supposed to be running around the front and my mom never came around to get him so she walked over to the back yard and found my mom!!! It was a scary experiance for her but at least she knows now that twittles has her back!

it's so true that animals may not be able to 'speak' to us, but they know what's good and bad.. and 'twittles' must have been very upset when he knew something was wrong! such a relief for your mom and all of you, but what a great little dog! x

I have little money to feed pet in daily life.But i think the pet is clever enough to know your things.If the pet can saying,the will tell you the secrets.In my childhood,i have a dog at home.Every time i return home from outside,the dog shake its' tail and welcome me.So i think the animal have their own clever to know your things.

i think you are quite right there! we have had many pets, and at the moment we only have our dog and a poorly gerbil, even he knows us and has his own ways! x
