I was just wondering if there was a relationship between pet type, gender and nursing specialty....Post your responses...

Used to have a German Shepard which was my husband's "buddy" & felt that the article you provided described him and his relationship with his 'buddy' to a tee.

ER . . . male chocolate lab mix (dd picked him out when she was 7 and she is 18 now and ignores him). Tabby cat that ds picked out.

I like animals outside though . . . .no cat and dog "tush" on my furniture or bed. This only happened as I grew up - as a kid, I slept with all my animals.

My oldest son's cat had kitties in his bed . . . that was memorable.

We've had cats, dogs, a ferret, hamsters, birds, fish, horses, etc.

I am particularly interested in the linkage between nurturance and dogs.......I think there are far more dog owners than cat owners on the boards but we shall see...
