I know of nothing to compare with the welcome a dog gives you when you come home.
Traveling is all very well if you can get home at night. I would be willing to go around the world if I came back in time to light the candles and set the table for supper.
I suppose I am a sparrow, a stay-at-home bird.
Nothing makes a house cozier than cats.
Christmas is a kindling of new fires.
I cannot imagine a cat in an Obedience ring, running around in the hot sun and doing things on command. For it would not make sense. Whereas a dog is tolerant of your not making sense and only wants to fix things so you are happy.
