Having had many pets of my own and minded a number of them for family and friends, I know pets enjoy my company because they show happiness when I arrive, they want to be close to me and they get excited when I spend time with them by going for a walk or playing a game. Sometimes when they stare at me, I think they are looking for visual clues on how to please. What I know for sure is that if we all demonstrably love our animals, it is very likely they love us right back in return. The photo, whilst not the latest, shows how up close and personal I love to get with animals....
