Having spent 26 years on Dairy farms, I have seen many things that convince me beyond any doubt, that Animals have Memory, feeling , emotion , jealousy , all the same attributes of Humanity, it doesn’t matter if it’s not of the same sophistication , the point is, it’s much the same,

**I love these studies that help us understand the complexities of the creatures around us. To discover higher emotions in animals is to marvel at how much further our own awareness is than other creatures. The fact that God bestowed intelligence on other animals yet chose us for His highest gifts. He must have a special place for animals, even if such a place is unknown to us. They must be dear to Him as well. **

We know they cannot reason as we can, nor can they be made aware of God. Did He make us to love Him and animals to be loved by us for Him? All I know is that teaching a child compassion is easy when you have pets for them to love and care for. This must be innate in us since we are made in His image.

We love our little Suzy rat. She is limited in her understanding of the world, but dear to us just the same. She plays with our cats through her cage and has a little ‘playground’ we put together for her. The average lifespan of rats is 2 1/2 years but we will make sure she enjoys her short life with us.
