Good Morning Family,

I was just listening to the Today Show and Shirley MacLaine was on there promoting her latest (10th) book, "Out On A Leash." She said, and i quote ... "Sleeping with a dog puts you in a spiritual metaphysical place." It was also mentioned that dog spelled backwards, is God. ... :look:

i've never slept with a dog ... but uuuhhhhh ... those of you who have ... am i missing some great spiritual experience?

:heart:

Destee

I'd better leave this one alone. Personally, if I'm missing something, I'd like to keep it that way.

I'm with you Nia Maishani! LOL

There may be some deep metaphysical teachings about white folks and dogs. Elijah Muhammad, use to teach on some of these relationships.

DON’T DISMISS THESE TYPES OF REVELATIONS, COMING FROM THE MOUTHS OF CAUCASIANS.

Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung didn’t and Black author/intellectuals, such as, Marimba Ani (author of, “Yurugu”) and Francis Cress Welsing (author of, “Isis Papers”) didn’t.

Sometimes the key to a people’s subconscious programming, that’s inducing their actions, is in some unrelated corner of their mind, juxtapose to their revealing or obvious actions.

For, the conquering of the world is a ridiculous goal to some people, but have seemed to been a worthy and sensible goal to others. Go figure?


Peace,

Sun Ship

in Spanish dog is "perro"

backwards it would be "orrep"

That doesn't mean anything!



O yeah

don't forget "three dog night"

remember them? When it's cold in Australia the natives call it a three dog night cause it takes three dogs to keep you warm all night.

trog·lo·dyte n. [From Latin Trglodytae, a people said to be cave dwellers, from Greek Trglodutai, alteration (influenced by trgl, hole, and -dutai, those who enter), of Trgodutai.]

1.) A member of a fabulous or prehistoric race of people that lived in caves, dens, or holes.

Mainland asians, SE asians and Europeans are believed [this was found using mitochondrial DNA] to be a mixture of Homo Erectus and Homo Sapien.

Anyway...you think sleeping with dogs is bad,what about when whites [I've never seen a black do this] go as far allowing the flee ridden mutts to lick their face....now that goes beyond nasty.

In fact, I've seen them do that with horses and they were having the time of their lives; alomst as if they derived a sort of sexual pleasure from it.

Strange people.

:o IS IT A COINCIDENCE HOW EUROPEANS TREAT DOGS LIKE GODS IN COMPARISON TO TREATING PEOPLE OF COLOR LIKE PEOPLE? I THINK [[[NOT !]]]] BY THE WAY,HOW ARE YOU GONNA KISS A DOG IN THE MOUTH? YUCKIE! LOL! TO US THAT'S ABNORMAL BEHAVIOR,HOWEVER TO CAUCASIANS, IT'S NOT EVEN LOOKED UPON AS STRANGE. :jawdrop:

& WHY IS IT THAT THEY EVEN SMELL LIKE WET DOGS WHENEVER IT RAINS?:laugh: :rolling: :laugh:

For some reason I cant really take Shirley too serious on a metaphysical level. Seems like I;ve read everything she says before. I read somewhere that a sick person in bed, who strokes their pet cat will recover quicker from that illness. Its supposed to have something to do with the static electricity from the cats fur, giving the sick person some kind of charge.

Personally I Love dogs. You have a friend for life with the four leggeds! They love you unconditionally. My dog is Beautiful, but I dont let him lick my face...ever. I dont sleep with him...ever. But he makes me have to go out in all weathers and keep fit. He cant answer back when I moan. He;s better than any burglar alarm, and he is a very good judge of character. He dont smell cos I spray him with teatree oil and bathe him regularly...and he dont hog the remote control!

Dogs are Great!!!

We really must give what we want to receive.

Thank You Brother. Thanks everyone for responding to this thread!

. Possibly the oldest skeletal evidence of a special relationship between humans and canines comes from the Natufian site of Ein Mallaha in northern Israel, where the 12,000-year-old articulated bones of a young dog or wolf puppy were found resting beneath the left hand of a human skeleton. http://www.archaeology.org/magazine.php?page=9801/abstracts/books


Desert Dogs offers a non-white perspective on another basic humane issue: the human relationship with dogs, illustrated by the work and struggles of Sharon Morgan and friends with Desert Dawg Rescue of Shiprock, New Mexico, capitol of the Navajo Nation. Most Native Americans kept dogs in pre-Columbian times, but dogs held especially high status among the Navajo, as evidenced by the ceremonial burial of the Yellow Dog of Crypt Cave, Nevada, 6,360 years ago.The Yellow Dog was obviously a pet, because a bad leg left him unfit for hunting and most other work. He may have suffered the leg injury, however, in defense of his people some years before he died.

i love dogs too...
i've had 5 different dogs in my lifetime
and not once did i even entertain the notion
of sleep'n with them....
shirley is wacky anyway, i'd listen to a
mental patient before i'd listen to her...
that's not metaphysics to me...
on a side note...the ancient greeks and romans
practiced sleeping with animals...
they would bring them in to the orgies
to add some xtra flavor...
this is not new...and it still goes on today
with many people...and i hate to say it but it's tru
most of those people are caucasians...
even the thought of this makes me want to take a shower
let me take an excursion from these sexual perversions
peace

:heart:

Destee

destee...
i was not try'n to offend...
but in my hotmail account i get spam'd
all day everyday...
sometimes i look at the e-mails sometimes i don't
this one instance i looked at an e-mail that was
cleverly disguised as a reply
lo and behold i saw an advertisement
for an animal sex site that had nothing but
caucasians doing crazy ish...
sleep'n with horses...straight nasty ish
also...so many stories have been told
about cowboys in the past and country boys
in the present sleep'n with sheep...
this is just my opinion destee and i did not mean to genralize
but it is evident from the past and the present that
caucasians respect for animals are far less than other races...
look at all the extinct animals that where hunted off the earth...
i'll bet my last dollar that caucasians were responcible for 99% of that...and also the endangered ones now...
this is just my opinion... i am sure that some black folks have done dat nasty ish...but not nearly as much or as many times as caucasians...just last week one of my co-workers was tell'n me that she gets a kick out of ride'n horses because it stimulates her sexually...and she's white...i'm not try'n to call a specific race out but you gotta call a spade a spade...

k Brother Khasm ... you're certainly entitled to your opinion, i wasn't trying to deny you that, thank you for sharing it.

:heart:

Destee

shirley is wacky anyway, i'd listen to a
mental patient before i'd listen to her...

I think the two are one and the same.

I think my dislike of dogs stems from the fact that I was chased by them alot as a child, luckily I could move like the wind so I was never actually attacked and that was in the days when these fighting dogs, that are bred specially for the purpose of causing one much pain, were not in circulation.

What I hate is when you see people walking around with those types of dogs without a muzzle and then when they see you're getting a little nervous because their dog has decided it might be fun to unblinkingly stare you down, they tell you, "It's okay, he won't bite".

Uh huh....then why is it growling at me and dribbling?

No...dogs aren't my thing....I prefer something easy....like fish.

Peace.....

Destee, I apologize for trying to be HUMOROUS about the aforementioned statement I made,but SERIOUSLY,WHY DO THEY HAVE THAT STENCH OF A WET GERMAN SHEPHERD WHEN IT RAINS?
As Khasm said,they have it ADVERTISED ON THE INTERNET BIG TIME; UNAPOLOGETICALLY & OBVIOUSLY UNASHAMED - BESTIALITY WEBSITES....& YES,SADLY,THERE ARE BLACKS {IN BRAZIL & EUROPE} THAT PARTAKE IN THIS FILTHINESS,{WHICH I WOULD BET A WEEKS SALARY HAD AN OUTSIDE INFLUENCE BY YOU-KNOW-WHO}BUT IF YOU WERE TO DO SOME RESEARCH ON IT, THE MAJORITY OF PRACTITIONERS OF BESTIALITY ARE EUROPEANS....THEY HAVE A NATURAL IMBALANCE IN THEIR BRAINS,& I THINK IT COMES FROM THEIR LACK OF NEURO-MELANIN .

Brother SOULDEEP ... i've heard that about them, but c'mon, wouldn't we have to smell 'em all while they're wet, to confirm this? Just like there are negative generalizations about us, they are most often not true, such as all Black Folk love chicken. It's ridiculous. It really peeves me when folk put all Black Folk in the same category, or all Black Sisters, or all Black Brothers, because we are individuals. Even if a thing applies to the majority of a group, there is always an exception. Which can make generalizations in general, more inciteful than informative, in my opinion. This is how i think, but again, we are individuals and gonna do, be, and think differently. It's all good.

:heart:

Destee

I wouldn't go as far as saying white people smell like wet dogs.
In my experience, its more akin to old frying pan fat, but that doesn't necessarily mean they all smell like that, just the ones I've come into contact with in one capacity or another....that and beer.

Probably a reflection of their diet more than anything else.
I'll leave it there before I become offensive.
Then again, I guess I already have, but where whites are concerned, I find it extremely hard to care; especially living in Australia, whose quite obvious and dominant white supremacist mentality compounds one's dislike of them.

Sorry but I don't, I can't...I won't.

Peace.......

DESTEE, BACK IN THE EARLY 90'S , AN ITALIAN KID I USED TO WORK WITH LET THE MAJORITY OF OUR STAFF HOLD THIS TAPE WITH BEASTILITY ON IT,& I WAS BUGGIN OUT OFF OF WHAT I SAW WITH MY OWN TWO EYES: WHITE WOMEN ENGAGING IN ORAL & VAGINAL SEX WITH HORSES,& DOGS....ONE COUPLE EVEN HAD SEX WITH A HUGE PIG.....WHAT IS WRONG WITH THEM??? WHAT DO THEY DO? WAKE UP IN THE MORNING,FEELING BORED AS HELL & THEN DECIDE THEY WANNA HAVE ACTUAL SEX WITH THEIR FARM ANIMALS, AS WELL AS THEIR DOMESTICS? I KNOW ALL EUROPEANS DON'T DO THAT BUT A LAAARGE PORTION OF THEM DO, JUST LIKE THEY ENGAGE IN INCEST....& ADVERTISE THE FACT, ON FILM!!!! YOU WOULD THINK WELL, MAYBE THEY'RE JUST PLAYING INTO SOMEBODY'S WEIRD FANTASY OR SOMETHING,SO THEY JUST HAVE THE "ROLES" OF INCESTUOUS FAMILIES, RIGHT? WROOOONG!!! YOU LOOK AT THE MOTHER & THE SON & YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE FAMILY RESEMBLANCE!!!! & IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOTHING WRONG WITH IT TO THEM, BECAUSE THEY DON'T JUST MAKE THESE MOVIES FOR THEIR OWN SICK FETISHES,THEY SELL THEM TO THE WORLD!!! NOW,EXPLAIN THAT!!!

here is a link to a site about ancient African attitudes toward dogs.

http://www.webhotep.com/generic.html?pid=130

I know some people smell worse than dogs...even wet dogs. If you;re a Thoughtful dog owner like me, you dry your dog when he comes in from the rain. I burn a lot of incense in my house, so everyone in it smells of it, including the dog.

Whats all this bestiality stuff being talked about? I thought the subject was "Sleeping with dogs" not "Having sex with animals". Surely we gone off the trail here. Of course we all know some people have sex with Anything that moves, or not as in cases of necrophilia(dead people). Man only got syphilis in first place because camels carry the disease.

I;m sure lots of people who do sleep with their dogs are not sexually abusing them. I bet some dogs are actually cleaner than some humans!

So I'm visiting my redneck neighbor this afternoon and watching him coddle his little dog and she kisses his face...

Their children are grown and they let their little dogs sleep with them.

Flashback to the board!

I said I was not going to touch this topic, and it is precisely because of the facts stated and alluded to by Uzoka (mildly) & Khasm (blatantly). I've only read the 1st two pages, but will read page 3 when time permits.

Piggybacking on Khasm's comments, I too have been spammed on just about every e-mail account I've ever opened, ever since I've been online, with bestiality e-mails, and invites to bestiality websites. I've also been assaulted by little video files through listserves that I trusted, where folk were getting a laugh out of sick, perverse, deranged, ungodly acts being shown commited by certain folk (we know who they are). I've read personal accounts from folk who know caucasians who have been intimate (and I do mean intimate) with beasts, including dogs & horses. During my first few months online many years ago, I was on a newsgroup doing research on abortion, for a class, and was made aware of a site called zoophiles.com or zoophilia.com or something, and I seriously was too naiive to even know what the site was about (it wasn't self-explanatory to me), but when I surfed there, I was put in shock pretty much. Folk were on there claiming to have consensual relations with animals, and the site was their so-called "safe-haven". That's all I have to say about it. There is definitely a population out there of sickos, who believe that they are well! The ain't well at all!!!

My mother used to work with a lady (we know her demographics) who got caught, yes CAUGHT by co-workers who were hiding in the woman's basement to throw her a surprise party (hubby gave 'em the key), and the woman came to the top of the basement door calling the dog's name, looking for him, and was definitely in her birthday suit, and had peanut butter....


....no...

...I cannot continue this story.

But it's true.

Regardless, of how dogs have been cared for and reared throughout history and other cultures,

EVERY BLACK PERSON KNOWS THAT CAUCASIANS HAVE AN, UNUSUAL AND UNCANNY, RELATIONSHIP WITH ANIMALS, ESPECIALLY DOGS!!

THEY HAVE HISTORICALLY TREATED ANIMALS (I.E., DOGS AND HORSES) BETTER THAN OTHER HUMAN BEINGS (AND YOU KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT).

It’s a shame that even when we have our own forum; when it’s time to be honest about what we have observed, over the centuries, WE GO INTO DENIAL. But, when the white man talks about, what he has supposedly observed about us, it’s discussed all over the news, at intellectual think tanks and sometimes becomes, a best seller even i.e., THE BELL CURVE.

IT’S INTERESTING HOW SOME PEOPLE COMMEND THE VIRTUES OF DOGS AND CONDEMN HUMANS.

:teach: SPECIAL ANNOUCEMENT!!! :teach: :

HE-L-L-O, BLACK PEOPLE!!

HUMAN-BEINGS SUPPOSE TO SLEEP WITH EACH OTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!
:jawdrop:



If you left dogs, to their own nature, even they would sleep with their own kind.

Locsgirl, sleeping with a dog every night does not necessarily imply, a sexual relationship with a canine, but I think if you had a sexually active woman, who slept with a sexually active man every night, and after a year or so, they told you there was no sexual activity or sexual tension, you would probably have your doubts.

If a grown man was sleeping with his mother, or a grown woman was sleeping with her father, we would be quick to cry, INCEST!!!
But, we believe sleeping with a dog, to be natural?

And if you don’t think dogs can express any kind of sexual nature to a human, than you never seen a dog, near the leg of a human, or his head under a woman’s skirt or some of the other things dogs can do with women (I don’t think I need to explain).

If we could ask dogs, about our habitual need to cuddle and sleep with them, I wonder what they would say?

They would probably think humans were, some kind of, zoological deviants! :lol:

Peace,

Sun Ship

THANK U, SUNSHIP & THANK U NIA....DESTEE,TRUTH IS TRUTH,LET'S KEEP THIS WEBSITE AS TRUTHFUL AS POSSIBLE....AS I SAID BEFORE, CAUCASIANS ARE NATURALLY IMBALANCED IN THE BRAIN DUE TO THEIR LACK OF MELANIN. THUS EXPLAINING WHY THEY DO FILTHY MCNASTEE THINGS THAT PEOPLE OF COLOR WOULD NEVER CONJURE UP. ANY OF OUR NUBIAN SCHOLARS WILL TELL U THE SAME THING WITHOUT JEST. THESE THINGS ESPECIALLY HAPPEN IN THE SOUTHERN STATES,WHERE THE NUMBER OF BLACK PEOPLE ARE NEXT TO ZERO RESIDENCY,& OF COURSE,EUROPE.

CAUCASIANS ARE NATURALLY IMBALANCED IN THE BRAIN

Now there's the understatement of the week!

Well they keep saying that they come from animals so I guess they're getting back to their roots..LOL!!....

EVERY BLACK PERSON KNOWS THAT CAUCASIANS HAVE AN, UNUSUAL AND UNCANNY, RELATIONSHIP WITH ANIMALS, ESPECIALLY DOGS!!

where are your facts? where is your data? where are your definitions? "Caucasion" includes Hispanics and Arabs as well as Europeans and white Americans.

Plessy v Ferguson decision decreed a Black person to be someone of 1/16 African descent. Do we go around measuring people's lineage to determine their race?

Black and White are cultural terms. Do you think Ward Connerly sleeps with dogs? how about justice Thomas? Dr. Rice?

Do you remember "chicken George" from Haley's account? Did he have a special relationship with animals? Of course he was supposedly only 1/2 white.

We all know that this white supremacist(racist) culture is sick and perverted..I think it was probably founded by satan himself...it's so sick that we have to make sure that we don't allow ourselves to absorb any of this cultures sick,feakish, perverse,imbalanced, violent,anti-spiritual, anti-life, anti-nature,fragmented,linear and detached anti-social behaviors......this is the reason why we should cleanse ourselves of european ideas because they equal spiritual and cultural damnation/death........Come to think of it this topic is disturbing.....we shouldn't even allow the disgusting low vibrational thought of sub-humans(or whateva u wish to classify them)raping creatures to enter our consciousness...these are probably the kind of "people?" that are running this country.....there are way more important subjects that affect us that need our observation....

Stick with your African culture..look where the european/aryan model has led us....its not meant for us...

I was about to make another reply to this thread, after ashadeofgray try to impose his misguided white liberalism, but after the statements of warrior-sister Mahogany_Brown. I believe I will rest my case.

Ashe, sister!

Brother Sun Ship

P.S. – Ashadeofgray, you should read Mahogany_Brown’s post to your white red-neck neighbor’s dog, and watch him howl. Ask the dog what he think’s about white folks or maybe you should just let sleeping dogs lie. :lol:

It is no mystery to anyone that has been around Caucasians that they love their dogs more than they love some of their fellow humans. They sleep with them, allow them to share their residence, allow them to lick them on their faces and in and on their mouths, and (as disgusting as it may sound) engage in "conjugal" relationships with them.

The popular and peculiarly Caucasoid axiom, "Dog is man's best friend" comes from the symbiotic relationship established during this period. Pre-domesticated canines used to congregate outside of the caves inhabited by Caucasoid cave-dwellers in anticipation of them "discarding" the bones of the animals which the family had previously consumed raw. At night and during other times when the animals that had previously occupied the caves came to reclaim their dwelling the dogs would instinctively yelp and bark. This would awaken the cave-dwellers at what point they would utilize the fire on a branch or limb to fend of the returning animals.

This eventually led to the domestication of the dogs because of their utility in providing protection (like a biological alarm clock) in exchange for food. The modern axiom, "giving a dog a bone" alludes to the reward-for-service practice which has survived until this day between people and dogs...

We all know that this white supremacist(racist) culture is sick and perverted

I agree with you there, but it IS possible to move beyond the dominant culture. There are plenty of things we can ask ourselves about this racist culture and how it came to be and how to defeat it. The question of bestiality just diverts discussion from the real issues. It really is beneath the dignity of the good folks who make up this community, IMO.


That White racist cultures valued their animals above the health of Africans I won't deny as history has shown that to be the truth. I believe that some people even feel that way today! We don't need to sink to their level to deal with them.


Ask the dog what he think’s about white folks

I have noticed that dogs can't tell WHAT the ethnicity or culture of a human is. To a dog, we're all the same!:)

First of all, I have to compliment brother Aqil on his master teachings, (in this thread) as I referenced his short, but concise theoretical dissertation about the European troglodyte and his canine companion. As I said in my first post, on this subject, this issue of cohabitation and sometimes emotional conjugation (which can easily seem rather trivial) can have hidden clues and indirect insight on the European’s rationality and abstractive thinking as it applies to his motives and actions, especially as related to the rest of the world. I don’t think when Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung invented analytical psychology they were trying to psychoanalyze or understand psychosexual conflicts in Africans. And in respect to our own scholars (i.e., Ani, Cress Welsing, Akbar and others)
We must sometimes review some of the most strange and unusual habits of our oppressors, to get a functional perspective about the adversary.

Let’s read the interesting response of Ashadeofgray, again (I guess he’s responding to Mahogany_Brown’s and my post).

Ashadeofgray, you have tried to interact with Africans in this discussion group, by joking about how they “sweat”, with do-rag comments and by using Flip Wilson as a positive reference to black comedy; and now with these references:

If you think you can relate to progressive Black, or White people for that matter, by using references to Flip Wilson, Clarence Thomas, Condaleeza Rice and “Chicken George” :lol: . Then you are in the wrong place, buddy. :lol:

You probably think, we are making “reactionary” comments about whites, because of the way, your so-called race, have treated Africans and other people of color, over the centuries. Ashadeofgray, not only do you lack in your understandings of African people, but you are probably incensed by our concise knowledge, investigation and theories about your people; because YOU DON’T EVEN UNDERSTAND YOURSELF.

You came to this forum to study and understand Blacks, but you don’t realize, you’re the one, who will be analytically scrutinized and your misguided white liberalism and racist diatribes are being processed and dissected.


In command,

Sun Ship

P.S. - Also your comment about the neutrality of dogs as it applies to race; dogs, through out time, have been genetically bred and expertly trained for specific, likes and dislikes, just refer to the historical use of dogs to hunt down and kill not only animals, but Africans and many other so-called non-anglo people. That’s why some breeds are so hard to rear in normal households and neighborhoods, where the conditions are civil.

[I am so impressed with this thread, I was afraid to look at it because i
thought some a yall would agree but no! My trusty beautiful black folk
finally agree. :huh: Not so with one of my black associates.

It was said:

Anyway...you think sleeping with dogs is bad,what about when whites [I've never seen a black do this] go as far allowing the flee ridden mutts to lick their face....now that goes beyond nasty.

In fact, I've seen them do that with horses and they were having the time of their lives; alomst as if they derived a sort of sexual pleasure from it.

Strange people.

But sadly (even though i told him ) this guy lets the dog lick his face continuously, though he did grow up around white people and he will
continue until white people withdraw that myth of the dogs tongue
having antiseptic qualities. While on the subject we must overstand that
these people will keep making up stuff to hide thier filth. A few days ago
I witnessed a dog devour faeces,:puke: when I asked if that is normal
behavior (cos I dont know) I was told dogs often do this. Which set me
out to ask almost everyone I knew, and it was common knowledge.
That image was stuck in my heaD for three days but

NEVER WILL I LET A DOG LICK EVEN MY HAND.


yep dem people nayestteee!

white people withdraw that myth of the dogs tongue
having antiseptic qualities

Think I'll stick with Dettol, thanks :)


I witnessed a dog devour faeces.

:lol: Exactly, that :laugh::lol:...that is the armageddon of nasty :laugh:

yes, that 1/16th ruling was pretty retarded

*feigning use of a megaphone* Sun Ship in command!


I agree with Mahogany Brown that this topic really should be too filthy, base, evil & vile to even find a place in this sacred home of ours.

HeSaid, you got me :rolling:!

I've never slept with a dog...but when i was young(and I had one) the dog would sleep on my bed sometimes...i don't think it took me to any enlightened state tho. Oh yes...I didn't get fleas either my dog was domesticated and bathed alot..
I have cats now...i wonder what that means....no i don't ...i don't wonder okay..

With all that Michael Vick is going through right now, i'm reminded of this thread.

White people and dogs ... amazing.

Good Morning Family,

I was just listening to the Today Show and Shirley MacLaine was on there promoting her latest (10th) book, "Out On A Leash." She said, and i quote ... "Sleeping with a dog puts you in a spiritual metaphysical place." It was also mentioned that dog spelled backwards, is God. ... :look:

i've never slept with a dog ... but uuuhhhhh ... those of you who have ... am i missing some great spiritual experience?

:heart:

Desteeas a kid i slept with the family mutt,and the only thing i picked up was a couple of fleas.

I love dogs. Have had them my entire life.. until I moved to Holland.

Top of my list of things to do when I got here, was to get a dog - couldnt imagine a "home" without one - little did I know what I was in for. Just to give you an idea - neighbours used to knock on my door and ask me if I knew my dog was outside unattended. note: dog is snoozing in my fenced-in back yard in the middle of the day.. yes, unattended. the shock! oh, the horror!!

I have found that many people treat their dogs better than their own children.

Otherwise, I'm of two minds about this thread. I think dogs are remarkable animals - with a fantastic "sense" about them. but hey - still a dog, and me, not a dog ;)

I have a theory (of sorts) which is - that these folk who pamper their pets have lost/destroyed their natural, spiritual selves - in that they no longer seek to gain emotional connections with their fellow men - they are so busy.. competing.. saying/doing... being socially.. correct - that they need something (a dog) which they can unleash all their.. emotional needs. without fear. So they attach all these human emotions to their pet..

Dogs are perfect. thats unconditional love right there. They speak to their dogs - I mean.. real conversations.. hug their dogs, sleep with them, kiss them.. convinced this dog understands them like no other. Best pal.

So yes.. when Skippy understands the depth of your soul.. and STILL wags his tail.. going to sleep and being most vunerable in their presence.. is a spiritual experience. to some :)

eta: i don't sleep with with dogs.. in fact - prefer them outside doing what they are supposed to do.. smell grass, sleep, and bark when people come over.. for that I'll feed, clean and play with them on occasion. Dont lick me, dont eat my food - bring the ball back when I throw it.. and we're cool.

Literally? No. Figuretively? Yes! On a serious note- any person that puts more time, effort,energy, money, resources, emotional attachment into an animal other than a human-has mixed up priorities.

Wouldn't sleeping with a dog ( Beastiality ) Torah ( 5 Books Of Moses ) Leviticus 11 ; 27 ( Revealed 1473 B.C.E.)

And Yes Dog Spell Backwards Is God
