Hi me again...I am just full of questions tonight!
I have quite a few animals, and people always talk to me like a I am a freak because I love animals so much. They can't understand how I can have rabbits in my house. Why would I want a ferret? I also have dogs and cats and a chinchilla. I must be crazy. I love my animals very much....and like them better than most people,but how do you tell people politely that you are not a freak?..because really it makes me mad when people tell me that or make fun of me. I usually try to educate people about my animals...and sometime I get through to them. I also know people think my house is like Doctor Dolittle with all of these animals running loose in my house. But then someone will come over and say where are all the animals...like they do have cages and no they don't just run loose...duh!
Do you guys ever have this problem. How do you deal with it?
Thanks
Shannon
PS hope this thread makes sense...I don't feel I am conveying what I mean very well!
