Re: Pets chit chat thread
Lol, thanks!
I don't take any credit for Phee's profundity...if I believed in that business, I'd say she was one of those Rainbow/Crystal/Indigo kiddies. We've just made a concerted effort to teach our kids to have empathy (a lot of discussions that go "would you like it if I came in your room, and knocked everything over? well, how do you think that spider would feel if you wrecked her web?" and "hey, would you like it if I scratched all your skin off and pulled your hair out? Then why are you peeling the bark off the tree and pulling its leaves off? Don't you know that the bark is like the skin of a tree?"), and recognize that they are just one little part of life on this planet. Phee's got that lesson down, Sharkbait is still working on it.
