OK, What time. Swanson for dinner?

Well, some of my pets would like you right away, some would take more time to get to know you...? I don't get the point.
My point is, would they miss YOU?

None of my animals are mean. My dogs are useless as watch-dogs, unless you wanted to be alerted to every squirrel and chipmunk, and have all strangers licked to death.
I don't get your point really. I think everything you are saying could be applied to humans as well, regarding doing things that make you feel good; and at the end you seem to agree with that too.

If you are saying that animals don't feel emotions, I think you are wrong, that's all.

Emotional responses come from a primitive part of the brain.
No that is not at all what I am saying. I used "emotional attachment." I also have compared consciousness to that of us humans.
Sure they have emotions.
All I can do is reiterate or restructure my same questions. Maybe if you realize where I am going with the entire scope of my thoughts, then they may make more sense. Not from a lack of your understanding, more so my wording.
