I have no problem saying the same thing, concerning quite a few species of critters.Man's best friend.
I think more of my dogs than I do a lot of people.
My Grandmother would straight up tell you she cared more about her dogs more than she did people.
My dog would eat the food and bring the plastic box to me.
If a cat big enough to fit that container in its mouth came running toward me, I would probably soil myself!Would like to see a cat do that!
