| Your PETS. My PETS, Everybody's PETS |
| For most of my life, whether it was sales or service, I have been in and out of peoples homes. After the first thousand homes or so, I have reached a few conclusions. The most trustworthy people are the ones trusted by animals and the most loving people are the ones who love and are loved by animals. True pet lovers will display their pets pictures right along side their children's pictures and the happiest homes are the ones ruled by the pets. I have also found it to be true that if someone doesn't like animals, it's because animals don't like them and animals seem to be great judges of character. Therefore, on this page, I have compiled a list of some of the best pet sites on the web. As a pet lover myself, I have found some wonderful information on all of these sites. I even found out my cats, once they got over the initial shock of the noise the vacuum cleaner makes, love to be vacuumed. It's actually even fun to watch the faces they make at "vacuum time" and believe me, they know what those words mean. papasmurf |
