It is dangerous for me to answer this prompt. The cats or the dog are likely to take offense if they suspect even a shred of favoritism. So to be safe, I’ll quit while I’m ahead. So I decided to put the question to Max, Sabrina, and Marcus.

Max: Favorite animal? Those beef critters, chickens, turkey, fish, and others that go into my food. Whattaya want? I’m a dog! My stomach comes first! But the thing is I love you canopeners too! You and Mom can openers! Oh yeah, I love my brother, Marcus, and my sister, Sabrina. They are very generous with their leftover food.

Sabrina: I love Mommy for cuddles, Daddy for snuggles, and Max for cleaning my bowl so thoroughly every day. He says that cleanliness is very important, and that he is an ” Apostle of Cleanliness” and it starts with food bowls.

Marcus: Birds! Those big birds, the little birds, the fuzzy birds, and the noisy ones. I also like mice, but Sabrina and I did too good a job of getting rid of them when we moved in. So birds!
So there you have it.

They are so lovely, I wished to have a dog too, but I never got peace with my Little BIG Cats in the home. All our experiences were ended in negative way. Thank you, Love, nia
We’ve been lucky with the relationships between them.
Whatโs the difference between a cuddle and a snuggle? Genuine question?
I’ll have to ask Sabrina.
A much appreciated spin on the prompt, Lou. Tactful, too….Loved it.
Great responses by all…well, except maybe for Marcus…๐น My girls do get a kick out of him, though. ๐ฝ
Marcus is very serious and direct to the point.
Well Bear? “Oh, that’s easy. My human is my favorite animal. Teddy is OK, but my human, definitely. I love her very very much. We go to the Refuge together. She gives me breakfast and dinner and cookies when I ask. Sometimes I like to pet her by putting my paw on her leg or her forepaw. I knew she was my human the moment I saw her. I must protect her from all the dangers out there, such as other canines.”
What about you, Teddy? “Same as Bear but I love Bear very much, too. She’s my best friend and we play a LOT. But my human is my favorite animal. She takes me out to smell things at the Refuge and when I bark she puts my bowl on the floor so I can eat my breakfast and supper. She snuggles with me sometimes, too.”
I am soooooo jealous! You guys have a whole refuge to walk in!
“Martha took me today. Your friend forever, PBYT.Dog”
I wouldn’t let them know you have a favorite either. It could get ugly. ๐
