We have had four dogs. Still currently have two. Three of those times, we said, “we should get [another] dog!” and then went to the pet store and got the stuff we needed and to the animal shelter and got a dog. We did look at rescuer websites one of those four times before we got a dog. So it wasn’t exactly finding one in the trash, but we didn’t prepare for months either.
I have 4; one would love this, two others would hate it and hide, and the last one would swallow my soul in my sleep for the betrayal visited upon him by lowly undesirables.
I’ve been adopted by a stray in my apartment complex. Every time he sees me he sprints over and climbs up my pants to get pets. My dogs get jealous as they watch us from my bedroom window.
Also, can we take a moment to appreciate how cats domesticated us, not the other way round? A cat is basically the only animal that can barge into your home and say ‘I live here now’ and instead of freaking out and shooing it out the door, many of us will say ‘welp, I guess we have a cat now’ and go out to buy food and toys.
They’re pretty exceptional when it comes to taking full advantage of our parenting instincts.
Found my cat when she jumped on the hood of my car after I parked! Saw this friendly thing several times, and neighbors said she was just a stray. When the nights got colder, I would let her come inside when I came home, but let her out again the next morning, when it was warmer. Eventually, I got a litter box and stopped letting her outside… She knew what she was doing!
