Pets

They mean so much to me. I've deeply loved so, so many animals...there have been only 2 in my 70+ long yrs that I could not attach to in that way.

Love is love, despite the species. Where there's sensitivity, mutual respect, & great attachment, there's love.

I see animals as beings; they've never been "things" to me, even as a child. (I grew up on a farm, btw, so there was great conflict in my life. Still is.)
