the way we love them

The way that we love and live with our animals/kids is something that we should all consider.  Consider this, if you treated people the way that you treat your animals, the world would be a much nicer place to be in!  Though there are those with the idea that an animal is nothing more than that...an animal.  I consider this to be extremely rude!!!  You must always love your animals the way that you, yourself would like to be loved or treated.  We are the only voice that they have.  They depend on us 110% to protect them, nuture them and above all else, to love them UNCONDITIONALLY!!!  This is how we should be or strive to be in our everyday lives.
