“Occasionally someone will tell me that they won't have pets because they're messy, and I suppose there's some truth to that, between the fur and the slobber and the occasional puddle on the floor. I have to choke down the temptation to respond that life is messy, and its vagaries go down hardest with those who fool themselves into thinking they can keep it neat.”
― Anna Quindlen

“Lying awake in the dark that night,unable to sleep, he thought he would have given anything to feel the heavy thud on the bed that used to announce the old dog's arrival. How extremely unloving and intolerant he had felt so often , waking in the middle of the night to the relentless shoving and pushing of his undesirable and selfish bedfellow.”
― Sheila Burnford, The Incredible Journey

“Humans always want something from you and he and I would just rather be together than apart, and I pulled him toward me, and he chitterred in the way that always meant he was wind coming in after the rain. His head fell forward, and there was so much less light in the room.”
― Neil Hilborn, Our Numbered Days

“Dr. W. B. Clarke's research into the problems of childhood vaccines, came across the evidence that all vaccines given over a short period of time to an immature immune system deplete the thymus gland, (the primary gland of the immune reactions) of irreplaceable immature immune cells. Each of these cells could have multiplied and developed into an army of valuable cells to combat infection and growth of abnormal cells. When these cells are used up permanent immunity may not appear. Work at the Arthur Research Foundation in Tucson, Arizona estimates that up to 60% of our immune system may be exhausted by multiple mass vaccinations. With naturally acquired immunity, only 10% of immune cells are lost. This constitutes a grave concern for vaccinations ruining the immune system”

“Newt stood beside me, a tiny sentinel of fur and teeth. I didn’t have much hope for his capabilities in a fight, but the gesture was heart-warming, if only I didn’t believe he was just waiting for one of us to fall down dead so he could feast on our eyeballs.”
― Rhys Ford, Black Dog Blues

“Something unites us, willingly or otherwise, with animals; studying us closely, they 'get us'. Perceiving what words fail to convey, gradually, our words also begin to take on value--they listen, learn, try to understand, and respond. But our real intentions are assuredly revealed by tone of voice, behavior, and history together.”
― Daisy A. Hickman, A Happy Truth: Last Dogs Aren't Always Last

“Fast as the wind, we skidded right by,
so fast that it seemed like
we had wings to fly!
The houses, the people, the park and the trees
flashed by in seconds
in the snowy breeze!
From the winter poem, Buddy and Me.”
― Suzy Davies, Celebrate The Seasons

“In 1998 McNeil demonstrated that the adjuvant Rabies vaccines induced mutations on cell cultures at the 18th ACVIM. In 2001 McNeil demonstrated that adjuvant vaccines induced mutations of cell cultures but that non adjuvant vaccines did not. In 1999 the WHO (World Heath Organization) in Lyons, France declared that the veterinary vaccine adjuvant was a grade three out of four for being carcinogenic (cancer causing).”

“Through my research on this topic, I have found that the vaccinated immature (children, puppies, kittens) end up with increased gamma interferon levels. Gamma interferon levels will do two significant things: one, it will increase the gastrointestinal
tract permeability allowing more bacteria and viruses to pass across into the bloodstream and two, there will be a decrease in the number of the cell mediated T-cells that are in charge of attacking parasites.”
― Patricia Jordan, Mark of the Beast: Hidden in Plain Sight

“We know now that vaccine administration with adjuvant ruins the host’s viral defense program and at the same time mutate the genes, specifically the P53 oncogene that is responsible for tumor suppression, the adjuvant and the viral proteins together result in the annihilation of the very defense system the host was given to fight off both infection and cancer. Vaccines cause infection and vaccines cause cancer. Read all about it in the p53 tumor suppressor gene by Author David Ollie Published on Nov 4, 2004.”

“Vaccination causes a lot of behavioral problems not the least of which is increased rage and aggression also anxiety. These behavioral changes are scientifically proven in both human and animals.”
― Patricia Jordan, Mark of the Beast: Hidden in Plain Sight

“The WHO (World Health Organization) listed the adjuvant in vaccines as carcinogenic; McNeil showed that in cell culture, adjuvant is causing mutations of the genome and cancer. Why it is so hard to see that there is the culpable responsibility of the vaccine in causing cancer in humans as well? All human cancers to date are virus and P53 mutation associated; what a coincidence!”
― Patricia Jordan, Mark of the Beast: Hidden in Plain Sight

“Vaccinated animals are not only getting cancer at the injection site, they are getting cancer at every level of the immune system including lymphoma and leukemia. Canine retrovirus associated with lymphomas is identified. Thanks to the work of
Dr. Larry Glickman at Perdue and the Haywood Study we see that only vaccinated animals are developing auto antibodies, from Dr. Jean Dodd's work we see the connection to thyroid disease from vaccines, from aggression and seizures and lowered fertility and immunosuppression, we now see the T cell suppression that results after vaccination generating a rise in the cases of fungal, Demodex, coccidia, parasites and other diseases that rely on the cell mediated immunity to fend off the problems like Lyme's disease and other diseases with intracellular pathogens.”

“The thing about Glen is that, despite her offhand manner, she loves me. I know she's only a cat. But it's still love; animals, people. It's unconditional, and it's both the easiest and the hardest thing in the world.
Sometimes, after counseling sessions, I desperately want to buy vodka, lots of it, take it home and drink it down, but in the end I never did. I couldn't, for lots of reasons, one of which was that if I wasn't fit to, then who would feed Glen? She isn't able to take care of herself. She needs me.
It isn't annoying, her need -- it isn't a burden. It's a privilege. I'm responsible. I chose to put myself in a situation where I'm responsible. Wanting to look after her, a small, dependent, vulnerable creature, is innate, and I don't even have to think about it. It's like breathing.”
― Gail Honeyman, Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine

“Dogs love us unconditionally, as God intended. If we look carefully, we can learn from them how to make the world a brighter and better place.”

“A cat needs a place as much as it needs a person to make its own.”
― Doris Lessing, On Cats

“Here tail moved, in another dimension, as if its tip was catching messages her other organs could not. She sat poised, air-light, looking, hearing, feeling, smelling, breathing, with all of her, fur, whiskers, ears---everything, in delicate vibration.”
― Doris Lessing, On Cats

“God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he'll be there.”
― Billy Graham

“There are many stories about seagoing cats. My research indicates that cats were domesticated about 9,500 years ago. I really don’t know anyone who was around at that time to verify this, but I also don’t have any reason to doubt this little bit of trivia. It is documented that the Egyptians who kept cats around to bring the good luck, also used them to catch thicket birds that lived in the tall grass along the riverbanks. I guess that these small birds were a treat and a welcome substitute for the usual river fish that the sailors would catch with hooks fashioned from bones. In time it was the Phoenicians who inadvertently brought cats from the middle east to Europe.
It seems that sailors had cats with them on their ships from the beginning of recorded history. They successfully used the excuse that the cats would keep the rat population under control. I don’t believe that this was really true since there are stories of where the cat befriended the rats, but in most cases the cats did keep the rats from invading their living spaces. Six-toed cats were thought to be better hunters and to this day many islands in remote areas are overrun by these cats and rats that managed to get ashore from ships that foundered along the island’s shore.
Sailors are notoriously superstitious and have always believed that cats can predict the weather and bring luck. There are many accounts concerning this and there may be some truth to this but you’ll have to be the judge. Because of their sensitive inner ears cats can sense barometric pressure drops, indicating foul weather and being warned frequently crawl into their safe hidey-hole prior to a storm.
A cat named Oscar, or Oskar in German, was the mascot on the German Battle Cruiser Bismarck when she was sunk by the British. Found floating on a wooden plank, Oskar was rescued by the crew of the British ship the HMS Cossack. No sooner recued and with Oskar renamed Oscar, the HMS Cossack was sunk by the Germans. This time Oscar was rescued by the crew of the HMS Arc Royal, which was then also sunk by the German navy. Not believing their bad luck the Brit’s blamed poor Oscar and renamed the cat to the German Oskar. Thinking Oskar to be the harbinger of bad luck they contacted the German Navy and offered to return their cat. The Germans refused the offer, so the British retired Oskar to a home in Plymouth, England. This time they banned poor Oskar from ever sailing on a British Naval Vessel again and changed his name to Sam.
The British Navy banned cats from sailing on British war ships in 1975. Even though the British Navy has banned cats from their ships, other countries and merchant ships still have cats aboard.”

“The shivering that had started six weeks before has turned into violent paroxysms. Let go, child, I whisper to her, as she drools bile and saliva, as her body rattles so hard I hear the emptiness inside. I want her to die; I want the decision not to be mine.”
― Shoba Narayan, The Milk Lady of Bangalore: An Unexpected Adventure

“I think of Java today, not as a dog that simply existed in my family, died and was buried, but as a friend that brought me immense pleasure and unconditional love over the years.”
