I've had pets my whole life, and I grew up with pigs and cows.
Turtles have always been my sigil, I suppose. When I was a kid, growing up in Bayonne, NJ, I lived in a federal housing project, and we were not allowed to have a dog or cats. The only pets I could have were turtles. So, I had an entire toy castle filled with dime-store turtles. I gave them all names, and since they were living in a toy castle, I decided they were all knights and kingsand I made up stories about how they killed each other and betrayed each other and fought for the kingdom. So, Game of Thrones, actually began with turtles. I decided later to recast it with actual human beings.
I didn't have any pets growing up.
Some of the wildest men make the best pets.
Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.
Ever consider what pets must think of us? I mean, here we come back from a grocery store with the most amazing haul - chicken, pork, half a cow. They must think we're the greatest hunters on earth!
Our pets are our family.
We may be losing the ability to understand animals who are not pets or horses. We have less contact with them. We don't (most of us) tend to know even cows and pigs, let alone bears or wolverines or red tailed hawks.
I love pets, especially dogs.
I do have a couple of pets, but I am determined to keep them out of the media spotlight.
It is a law of nature that everything run by the government will get more expensive and worse over time. Everything run by the private sector will get better and cheaper over time. The fact that [Obamacare] starts this badly does not bode well. . . . We want healthcare run on the same system that gave us cell phones, flat screens, Jerry Garcia chia pets. Everything you submit to the free market. . . keeps getting better and better.
In a houseful of toddlers and pets, you can start out having a bad day, but you keep getting detoured.
I am a huge animal lover. I prefer to rescue any of the pets that I have had.
Because we can't escape our ancient hunger to live close to nature, we encircle the house with lawns and gardens, install picture windows, adopt pets and Boston ferns, and scent everything that touches our lives.
I've never been around pets. I didn't have pets as a child.
It has become my mission to stop the insanity of wild cats as pets.
Parrots make great pets. They have more personality than goldfish
I am from Brooklyn, NY, so we could not have many pets, but I always had at least two dogs.
. . . blueprints are like pets and children -- difficult to appreciate or understand unless they're yours.
Attention is love, what we must give children, mothers, fathers, pets, our friends, the news, the woes of others. What we want to change we curse and then pick up a tool. Bless whatever you can with eyes and hands and tongue. If you can't bless it, get ready to make it new.
