@TheHorse .. Especially when they do their droppings on our heads out of nowhere and squeal..we did it, we did it...they can't touch us....pretty much the allied army's euphoria after winning World War II.

Birds always seem to have a sense of humor to me.

@vandana7 Um, a bird pooped on my calculus book when I was studying under a tree. I saw it as a sign from God that I should NOT be a math/physics major. But other than that, they've been good to me.

My parakeet said only his name and "hello." My cockatiel guitar friend sings the Andy Griffith tune, but his human mom and dad taught him that, not me.

In a previous life I went to people's homes to do small seminars on business. Their animals always found me and settled in nearby. Surprised the owners, but it's been this way since I was a child.

I think animals have good intuition. They also tend to go where the "energy" is, if it's good energy.

pretty sure they have proven animals can lower blood pressure and such. I know if I am sobbing my puppy is the one that comes and tries to calm me down. he lays on me and demands scratches until I calm down and we both often take a nap

I don't go to enough other houses to interact much with their fur persons. When I walk into the Vets to buy cat food and there is a dog there with its human the dog races up to me like he or she had just lost me. We have a little conversation before I head into the reason why I went there.

Since I'm a huge critter fan, the animals find 'me' @TheHorse . I must exude something from my skin that tells them, "Hi there, come talk to me."

@TheHorse Probably. I know here at my place I have: 16 cats (indoors), 18 raccoon's, 3 squirrels, 2 opossums, 3 donkeys, every bird known to man; and when I go outside, none of them take off running (flying). I can even talk to some of the raccoon's. Trippy!

I used to be terribly scared of dogs. Like phobia level scared. My best friend got 2 dogs. I went over to her house a lot so I couldn't avoid them obviously. The first day I screamed a lot and asked her to keep the dogs away from me. Over time, I stopped getting paranoid and even started playing with the dogs. I am still scared of dogs but it's better than it used to be.

I'm glad you were able to overcome your fear of your friends' dogs. Maybe over time you'll be more comfortable with other dogs as well. Most just want to slobber on you and be loved.

I'm not a dog person, but I absolutely ADORE cats. And one of my good friends has a cat that is just awesome, to be honest he's even cooler than my cats. He just hangs out, will jump up on your lap and relax with you. In my experience though, cats really enjoy being petted on their heads, like right behind their ears. My cats don't chill like he does haha

I don't have many friends having pets, and if they do, mostly are dogs. It depends what kind of dogs, but usually I like playing with them if they are friendly. Yes, I agree that interacting with animals helps us to de-stress. Interacting with human helps too.

I have to admit that sometimes I like being around them, but I can't spend long time periods with them. My friend has 5 dogs inside, a hedgehog, and a sugar glider and they all get annoying after being there for to long.
