I feel like I've been talking about animals too much

[Mistress of Rain]

I feel like that sometimes as well... exspcailly right now with looking at cats down state to adopt and talking to my friends around me who all kind of hate cats (at least my best friend and my roomate's bf dis likes them...my bf is just allergic to them a bit, and doesn't like long haired ones)

But yeah it is kind of natural when you have a strong passion for something. People still just look at me funny when I start talking about a bird that I see or when we are driving I'm like "OMG it was that a __________" "Hey look it is a _________"

I like cats. smile I wouldn't mind if someone likes to talk about them.
My mom changed her mind about opening a shelter or something because she said if I was going to be like this then she rather not open one. Of course, you'll be talking about the animals everyday if you're planning on opening a shelter. I feel glad that she changed her mind. :/

She thinks I'm sick in the head for talking about animals too much. I feel bad. ;-;

Sometimes you just have to find the right people to talk to. I know when my cousin and I get itno our animal talks back home and even mention a pet... my aunt starts freaking and butting in on our conversations saying how I can't get a pet and blah blah blah. to her talking about animals = getting animals. But she is not an animal person... I think though it hurt a bit when our old animals died... I think she was happy, because her hosue could be Spotless again -_-

though she has actually talked about maybe getting a seeing eye dog for her Uncle Norman since he is 94 and refuses to believe that he can't see... and thought a doctor was rude to him when the doc suggested that he got a cane and started to practice with it.

but yeah ifyou ever want to talk about cats or other animals fee free to send me a pm. I am kind of the odd one out up at school since I'm only getting a degree right now it seems to please my aunt... cause grooming, or working in a petstore (dog trainer and stuff like that), or starting some sort of rescue seems like something I really want to do....plus it makes me really flexible if i want to go live near my friends or even move to where ever my bf decides to go..if we stay together that long.

I suspect this is the reason most of my friends don't like me. It's just that I really have nothing else to talk about xD

Lol, I know how it goes all too well.
The parentals find it highly irritating...especially when they start talking about future grandchildren and I cut in and say something like "You don't need grandchildren. You already have grandferrets! cool "
Just keep rolling the way you want. You'll never make everybody happy so don't even bother trying. My friends have come to accept that the animals and I are a package deal and that sometimes I won't be able to do this or that because of an animal related activity/animal related responsibilities/etc. And that sometimes they'll get to hear about them. If they can't stand that then we just ain't meant to be pals.

I have lost friends over it, but have also made friends because of it. Sometimes enthusiasm can be contagious. 3nodding

My parents get sick of me talking about dogs, but I can't help it.
"One day you'll have kids and-" Me: "Already have kids" *Looks to Deedee and Sparky*
It's everything to not ramble to them about the walk I just took my dogs on.
The other night my mum just went to bed because she was sick of me talking about dogs and their calming signals. My friends are used to the fact that everytime I see a dog I have to actually say "DOG! Aww cutie. I want it".
The internet is a great invention, really allows me to feed my dog addiction Though it's so hard to avoid online pet stores to buy things for my dogs

I almost have a whole 10 year plan for ahead of me, that accomodates to my pets needs of course!

EDIT: Thinking about it, I think my parents might be a little happy with my obsession. I could just as easily be like all my friends. But no, on a friday night, I'm being a dog nerd, instead of going out with my friends getting drunk and high and hanging out with older guys who'll take advantage of me when I'm out of it.

my friends and family get sick of hearing about my animals aswell. im always telling people the cute things my pets do.

i can either b***h to my friends about how i hate them or i can talk about how cute my lizards are, their choice

Since my home-life mostly involves caring for my own animals and my job involves teaching kids about animals and now I am back in school studying animals and their care my family and friends have just come to accept pretty much anything out of my mouth is likely going to have to do with animals! Those that have issues with it (my dad) just don't really talk that much to me. To give them a much needed break from all the animal talk, though, I make it a point to come here on Gaia and blab about animals to like-minded people!
