it is absolutely satisfactory that an animal brings their child to meet me. it shows trust and that is akin to love in my primitive mind.
When I was a kid we used to feed raccoons in our yard and sometimes a mother raccoon would come with all her babies. It was so cute.
it is more than cute. it is an imperative that i learn how to to serve them. it is very important that you use your whole mind to work out how it is best to steward them through their lives if they place their lives in your hands. goodness what a gift.
an innocent animal who loves you must be protected with all one's might. i truly love innocent animals and i wish i could love humans in the same way, but humans are not as innocent as other animals are.
When I was young we kept guinea pigs in a wooden hutch at the bottom of our garden. I had 5 of them at different times during my childhood, 2 then 1 then another 2 - all saved from medical experiments. I fed them porridge in the winter months and used to leave the day before's dish on the ground until I had closed them up for the night.
One night I had forgotten to pick up the dirty dish and went back out to find a whole family of hedgehogs, I think 6 in total all eating the old porridge.
I then made a dish for them every night too.
I drive a car and I CONSTANTLY worry about injuring an animal on the road, not that I drive fast or in an erratic manner but sometimes a cat will dart across the road infront of me and it worries me.
