Pet Critters

Most everyone really enjoys some kind of pet, either their own or someone else's. Some are "cat" people, some are "dog" people, some are "bird" people, and yes, some are "no" people.... Pets are used to cheer folks up and some even go to hospitals to visit folks! The most common pets are, of course, dogs and cats. They are not only for our enjoyment and something to care for, but many times they assist in daily activities. Dogs are trained to do such things as lead the blind, assist with household chores like turning on lights (really!), find lost children and adults. There are dogs which are bred to pull large sleds and to assist cattlemen in herding their cattle. Of course, most of you reading this are probably familiar with dogs who assist hunters both in finding birds, for example, and bringing them back when a hunter shoots them.

Most people just really enjoy animals! They can help to cheer you up when you feel bad. Even if you are sick, a warm cuddly critter can certainly cheer up the sickest boy, girl, Mom or Dad! Of course, you probably would not want to curl up next to some of THESE critters! Check them out!

Did you enjoy viewing folks' "pet critters"? Let us know and you can send in your favorite "pet critter" pictures for us to add. If a youngster has a story to go along with the picture, send that in and we will see about getting your story, with pictures, put on the website for all to read! Now, remember, always, always be kind to all of Yahweh's critters, no matter what or where they are!

	Can you imagine having a "pet" cow?
Now, this is Freddy and I don't think I would want Freddy to curl up too close to me? Think we should just watch him play with his brothers and sisters?
	"Little Bit" as a kitten on the left and 12 years old on the right! (Looks like she grew up to hunt!)
The "pecking order" for meals. Rheba eating, Cassie waiting and poor Oakley has to wait until last!
		Mama looks hungry but it appears she is VERY well fed!
Meet Coal and Chance from the sunny south (Mississippi)!
	And then there's puppies from   the east on the left. Momma Cassie and Baby Oakley on the right who really enjoy the Midwest!
	And then there are "bird" people who just plumb enjoy feeding and watching Yahweh's critters in His world! This is a hummingbird feeding on a special mix just for them!
How cute? Do you think this is a Mom and her youngun'?
