Indeed they really do have personalities of their own! I cracked up when thinking about the viewpoint of the various animal dynamics. Indeed they really do have personalities of their own!

Each animal has a unique personality which asserts itself in odd ways and you find yourself invoking the same social practices as you would with people. In time you have favoritism, you have the scape-goat, you have jealousy, pointless chastising... i guess they all boil down to one thing... the grand pecking order. It will probably always be up for debate between you and your pets (especially if you have cats), which end of that chain you are actually on. But in any case, even though they are annoying, it would be kind of lonely without them.

I smile a smug smile truth be known :) Yes we are servants to the masters of our houses :) Although I find they tip very well, with all that unconditional affection, love, and funny little tricks that always brings a smile. Of course -I- have always been the animal lover in this relationship of ours, the brood could never be big enough, kids, dogs, cats, rats, hamsters & fish over the years. My husband just stated last night, it scares me when I see you on craigslist - looking under pets -- then said I guess there are worse things you could bring home other than a stray. It has only taken him 25 years to finally get it :) OH MY - I had to read your statement over and over to be sure I had read it correctly.
