Animals With Blogs

Through a Blogger Buddy [Blue] I became aware of a new way to submit your story/ideas. People who talk through their pets?

When I first read them I though WTF?

Are they nutso?

Then I looked at them from a different perspective and found them to be quite inventive. Most were too way out there for me and now I only visit a select few.

One day I decided to try it for myself and blogged through my cat Suki. I must say I [she] had more followers through that blog than I do on this site? Her following became even larger when the word went out that she was ill.

Do people with pets care more for other pets than they do for the humans who own them?

Because your blogging as an animal, you care more?

The animal blogs that I follow come from Suki's blog "Doodie". These were the ones who showed the most interest:

Jackson [dog] - He was the first follower. He's an energetic Terrier [not a favorite of mine] and loves to destroy toys. He makes me smile! It was touch and go for him for awhile as he has health problems and I visit his every so often. I'm trying not to become attached?


Oscar [dog] - I had just started on his site when he suddenly passed away! It sucked me in long enough to feel heart broken? I enjoyed the way his owners took pride in his up bringing and their joy of being with him, he was their child. So when he died it bothered me that they were able to replace him so quickly? I know that I shouldn't judge others by the way that I feel but it bugs me when people say "it's ONLY an animal". Some of these animals are their children..."I wouldn't want to replace one of mine so quickly"! I don't visit there anymore.


Marvin [dog] - I like labrador dogs [not my neighbor's dog] and find their faces to be quite kind looking [except my neighbor's dog]. Generally a gentle dog [not my neighbor's dog]! I like his writer's style. She can be quite comical and even leaves a comment on my blog...what's not to like about that! My other blog friend BJ has a black lab also [Willie] and she adds pics/tales about him which I find adds to her blog line. I love both of theirs. I would still read their blogs after their animals pass [hopefully not soon].


Daisy & Harley [cats]- Guaranteed to make me smile! She's a clothing model! He's a new addition...a undercover dectective? Very, very inventive and entertaining. I've never seen a cat who doesn't mind being dressed-up like she does. I normaly don't like seeing animals being dressed up except for Daisy. Her "mom" doesn't make her go out into public...it's more of a modeling gig, meant for show. She should be paid for wearing those outfits...:) Some of it is the other additions like, "Mr Shrill", Lizard, Snail...etc that carries the interest for me. I dread the day that Daisy passes!


Miss Peach [16 yr old cat]...she reminds me of Suki [not the same breed] and who is just about as fragile looking as she was. Her story teller is quite artistic and very inventive. I love the "fru-fruness" of her site. Sadly Miss Peach is not well! It's like going through losing Suki all over again! She makes me cry lately [not all of the time] and I like to leave hers til the end of the day. I dread the day that she passes!


I'm real sappy when it comes to emotional issues and it tends to bring me down a lot! So reading about their lives/antics daily, one finds themselves [me] becoming attached and when they pass I find that their pain is mine also. I can't help that!



So why do I follow them if it bothers me so much?


Will I ever talk through animal again?


Right now.....NO!


But...
Maybe we should all take a look at life through our pets eyes and put ourselves in their place!


I got to know my cats better by doing that but in turn fell deeply attached to something that is guaranteed not to be around for very long! I feel too much sometimes!!


But later...who knows?


To ALL you AWB...keep up the entertaining blogging!

Count me as a fan!




Runny eyes and all...;)
