I love a flamingo, right @GardenGerty ? This picture was taken at the Animal Kingdom at Disney World this week when my sister and her family visited there for Christmas. They made sure to get a picture of the flamingos for me.

I have more than one favourite animal. I love dogs , cats , lions and elephants. Dogs are most loyal creatures , cats have funny feline charactersitics. Lions for their attitude and elephants for their care. In dogs , I love German Shepherds , Huskies and Labs. I hope in future I could buy or get a breed and have an animal companion. It would be best thing to have in house and around me when I go outside. For rest of my choices, I do not have any breed interests. However, I have no plans to get a lion cub or elephant. It is illegal to have one here without license and cost of feeding could be a challenge . Well, those are my thoughts!

You said it ..cost of feeding an elephant of lion would be a challenge. Apart from that the legal costs should the elephant goes amuck and lion of course can be even more lethal.
Nevertheless, animals deserve our love and affections simply because they offer love free from any ulterior motive.
I feed street dogs. They recognize me. They come to me. Surround is the more appropriate word...some of them want to come home with me, but I cannot get them in our apartment. It is not allowed. Those days are tough on me because I too want to own a dog but I cannot. I am old also so cannot take them for walk. That is why street dogs. LOL I have fed many but never touched one. I am dying to touch one. But I am scared whether they will misread me. One of them, I have named her Roxy, comes with her wagging tail..oh god...my heart jumps out when I see her. Will be meeting her tomorrow. :)
These animals cannot earn for food. They cannot express their hunger or thirst. The least we can do is, feed them occasionally. I fed a cow some bananas yesterday...that also left me with some good feeling. So basically, we need to look after them. Isn't it?

@RevivedWarrior I get much much more than that. The feel good factor is immense. That is such a selfless moment...feeding an animal. That is like feeding a child. With children we expect something later on. With these strays ..I expect nothing. I thank god for this opportunity and also the ability. God realized my problems and enabled me to find some good dogs that come towards me when I am nearby. What more can one ask for? To be missed and to be wanted...

I think I would also vote for a cat. Mainly because I just woke up from a huge cat induced nap.

@AmbiePam Probably. I have enjoyed reading about flamingos and the different varieties and how they are colored, etc. Last year we had one in Kansas that I believe they said had been blown off course by a hurricane. I never heard what happened to him, but he was frequently seen floating in various Kansas lakes.

That was so nice that your sister sent you the picture of the flamingoes. I bet it was awesome seeing them in person.
Animal Kingdom was one of my favorite parks when I went to Disney many years ago.
I love cats and dogs but I think Koala bears are adorable.

Cats of all kinds. Unicorns (I know they aren't real), wolves, rabbits, and horses.
