If you have ever owned a pet it doesn't take long to understand that pet has a personality all of its own. As the pet inhabits our life, we grow to understand what they want to tell us. My Bichon Frisse always stared at me when he wanted to go out. If I in turn asked hm if he wanted to go "outside" he would grunt, halfway nod and run to the front door, tail wagging behind him. We humans learn pretty fast. Teddy didn't have to talk, he just stared. My family learned what that stare meant.

My mother had a Poodle who knew the word "go". She and my Dad eventually had to spell the word or otherwise disguise their intent to leave the house or Gigi would jump up and down and run to the garage door in hopes of going for a ride.

I am very sensitive to my pets. It isn't difficult to tell when the cat is happy or upset about something. She, too, has learned the words, "Do you want to go outside?" And she will run to the front door and wait patiently until I get there. She also knows my work schedule and gets "clingy" just like a small child on the days I go to work. Last weekend when my baby granddaughter was visiting, the cat became aggitated because her place which is my lap was being occupied by this little human intruder.

Animals are living creatures who possess a soul. They feel pain and discomfort just as we do, they feel happiness and joy, just as we do and when God charged man with dominance over all other animals, it was about caring for them, taking care of them and not about manhandling them. Dominance is a privilege, not a right.
