I don't have any animal partners. I think I'd like one though. I think she would be a dog.... I'm waiting until I accomplish my career and income goals first. I'm very fond of cats too, although not sexually.
^ Same boat. So much 'normal' life .. creates certain limitations.Yes me, its has been nearly ten years since i had an animal lover
Im a firm believer that not everything in life is about sex. Its admirable that you love your dog dearly even without sexual relations involved. Its about the dogs well being and also what the dog wants and doesnt want in a relationship. It is a 2 way street. Unfortunately too many people (Zoo and Non Zoo) get a dog with certain intentions in mind and when they find the dog wont be at their beck and call they are quick to abuse the dog into submission and if the dog doesnt submit they dispose of the dog. These people shouldnt have dogs to start with as a dog is a long term commitment. Trust is earned and everything else just falls into line after that. Ive saved many dogs throughout the years and have never expected anything in return. There has been willing and able dogs in the mix but I found that regardless of breed they all have different personalities and appreciate a good loving home. At present I dont have any dogs but am looking at rescuing a couple in the near future.It's actually been a few years since I've had a dog (dogs only for me) who has been interested in anything.
I do have a dog right now who I love with my whole heart. Shes almost nine and I've had her for eight years and she's never shown any interest in participating in anything.
I'll be getting another dog within the next couple years, and if they're uninterested as well then so be it. It's kind of frustrating because Im generally uninterested in sex with people in this phase of my life, but it is what it is lol
Very beautiful, but heartbreaking story.It’s been just about 5 years since my lover passed away. I miss him every day. It’s hard to have someone with you for over 15 years and then they are just gone. He was a beautiful black lab named Titan. He was so well mannered and adventurous. We would go on long hikes up into the mountains and play in the creek chasing the minnows. We’d lay in the grass and enjoy the warm sun drying us off. We’d kiss and cuddle in nature listening to the breeze shake the trees. We’d make love in the woods over logs and in the leaves. We’d eat together. Bathe together. Sleep and hold each other through the night. I woke up many mornings with him by my side. Towards the end he grew slow and tired. Our long walks turned to quick trips to the tree line and back. Our love making turned to quick flashes of passion. He had trouble mounting and humping, but I was still glad to service him whenever he wanted.
One day he started coughing really badly and having trouble getting up and laying down. We took him to the vet and they told us he had congestive heart failure. He had maybe 6 months or a year left. We took him home and pampered him as much as possible. Did everything we could for him. After a few months he couldn’t stand up any more without us helping him up. We took him back to the vet and we were told it was his time to go. We just wanted one more week with him. You know. Just a little more time.
He was the first pet anyone in my family ever had. He was a gift from my dad to my mom after she had the miscarriage that would have given me a little brother. He meant so much to all of us for different reasons. My dad took the week off from work. I took the whole week off as well so we could all just be around for him. We’d all lay on the floor in the living room snuggled up with him. We’d lay out in the grass with him to soak in the sun and fresh air. We all fell asleep on the floor on some blankets together as a family. As a pack. Until finally it was his time and we returned to the vet. We were there with him in the end. It was a quiet ride home. We buried him up by the creek. A large stone over him. To mark the place where my lover rests.
Thank you.Very beautiful, but heartbreaking story.
Best of luck finding the next special one. Searching for a dog of your own can get a little overwhelming because not only are you dealing with the normal I'm going to get a dog type of question, you need to think about physically what matches up to you in those special ways. Also finding an intact dog isn't easy unless you are looking to raise one from a puppy. Best of luck. Reach out if you have any questions.I’m definitely missing the dog I grew up with. I live with my boyfriend and his dog, but the dog is 100% his, completely devoted to him. I’m on the search for a companion of my own.
