Mimizu,
I think it is beautiful that you can openly express you do like to save bugs, i was a little worried on what you guys would think when i told you about the saving of worms and other creatures!!!LOL, But hey they deserve to live, dont they!.WOW Lucky you, where do you live if you dont mind me asking were you can see Geckos and have Geckos living in your house???, awl that is my dream, im Gecko mad,I had my Geckos mainly Leopard Geckos,before I got my dog, but i dont know its like i have a strong bond and understanding with reptiles,especially Geckos.Sadly i cant have any wild Geckos, as i live in Britain, so can only have pet ones!,all my animals make me feel less lonely,and I know its not as much company as a human to talk to, but it does,as you said also, give me that little something*
I know what you mean about the moths,Geckos have got to eat though,I have to feed my animals mealworms, and waxworms.
Yes I do agree with you that dogs need their own species too, my dog well puppy,he is happy enough with our company, but is VERY happy when he can get to run free in the park with other doggie pals,its ike we dont exist when he has other dogs to run with,but i cant always give him pals, as they are not always there, and i dont know any others,just like you dont with your dog,have you got a small dog?, as its a case of seeing owners with a dog,your dog may be able to say hello to,you could take your dog to a doggie class?, there she will find friends,and who knows,you may too!.
Talking about sleeping all day, when i am very depressed thats all i feel like doing,but with animals,cats will have their head and ears down, dogs will have their head down,with eyes dazing into space,and your right they may sleep a lot more than usual.
Some humans are evil hun,not all, best way to find out,is to ask someone what a conscience is!,if they say they dont know,stay clear of them!!!
NO you are not evil, because if you were you would not bother with this site, you would not care about love and comfort,and you probably would not own any pets,please never think your self evil, you are a good person,your dog and family love you,and in time im sure a lot of people here will get to know and love you*
We are all scared of getting hurt, thats why on here you can vent your feelings and should not be judged,as its normal theres a lot of anger here,people feeling,why me!.
Awl me too, I save snails, used to have a pet snail,i had saved from a bird,my snail loved coffee and tea biscuits!!!LOL i know MAD!.
Its so sweet you go out of your way in the morning to protect the snails, im sure if they could talk, they would say thank you!*
Well I dont think its insane to hold a cockroach,I held a Madagasgar hissing cockroach,it was cute, i see beauty in the most misunderstood of creatures,its a good way to be*,im glad you feel the same
God Bless

Keke, I don't have to "keep" geckos, they come on their own.
We let them stay cause it's fun to watch them, and they aren't annoying... they just stay behind the closet or behind the fridge during the day, and come out at night. They also eat moths, which ARE annoying.
It's funny watching them chasing each other after a moth..
(although I feel sad for the moths... why most something die to keep something else alive ?)
I also have a doggy... she is nice. Sadly, being human means that you want other
humans to be your friends.. a relationship with an animal doesn't give you that, just makes you a little bit less lonely. You still need someone of your own species... that's how humans are... we need each other, but we are so mean to each other.
I wonder if a dog who only interacts with humans all the time, and no other dogs also feels lonely. Are humans a good substitute for its natural desire to have dog-friends ?
I think my dog is lonely... all she does is sleep all day. That's how dogs and cats can escape loneliness... humans can't. Me, my mom and my dad are the only "friends" she has... she has nobody of her own species. Nobody to talk with her in her language, nobody that can understand her.
She doesn't know how to socialize with other animals, she attacks huge dogs that could snap her spine with a single bite, and she is scared of tiny kittens. (because a kitten scratched her on the nose once)
"animals are better than humans" <-- agreed. A dog loves you unconditionally and with all its heart. Few humans can do that... and with reason, because if they did, they would be backstabbed. Humans are evil.
I'm always scared that if someone loved me like that, I would hurt them... because I am evil too, and can hurt others. I try not to, but I can...
I'm always scared to hurt anything... at early morning I go around and move away snails from the pathways, so that people don't step on them in the morning, and the sun doesn't fry them.
Also I try to not kill any insects that come to my house... even roaches and mantises. I wrap them in TP instead and throw them outside. I also save ants from sinks and leftover teacups.
I saved a roach from the toilet once. I can also hold roaches with my bare hands... most people hate them.
I am insane. :-D
