The Furry Ones

Whether in our domestic lives or on earthly adventures, the Furry Ones seem to capture the human heart. Though we may have descended from the Winged Ones, those of furry nature seem closer to our human spirit.

As fellow mammals we birth and nurture our young as they grow into independence. The sharing of milk from the breast is one of the most loving, nurturing acts in the kingdom of life. The furry ones in general share this loving trait.

.... and remember humans share mammal status with our sea faring relatives the Dolphins & Whales, who also nurture their young.
