Maybe this shouldn't be on the list, but I would really like to know if
others have a hard time handling or balancing your animals and any
semblance of a 'normal, happy' life?? I guess it sounds like a 'martyr
complex'. I don't know. It just seems like so very few people care
about anyone or anything other than themselves.

My animals that I have are my happy normal life. I've got four rescues,
three equine and one kitty. I've got a happy, healthy group of ferals
that moved in the barn where I board. Even though it's depressing to
realize the "grand scheme of things" I'm doing the best I can by the
animals I'm in contact with.
One of the reasons I'm still single is I'd quite honestly rather be with
my animals as another person. If I ever find someone he'd best be an
animal person, because I've seen that it won't work without that! :P
No, other people don't care about others or their animals. Even though
it hurts to care, and people thing I'm rather odd, I can't imagine being
one of those selfish SOBs that don't care about other people or animals.
I talk nicer to my car than they do to their families!
