knowing that I care too much for my pets, this question was asked of me by a colleague. I couldn't answer because I don't want to admit that I am playing favorites. When we had our pigeon named Twinkle, she was my least favorite because she doesn't seem to like me. Our pekingese Epoy was admittedly my favorite. And when I would be cuddling Epoy, our pigeon would approach me as if showing herself to me. With Epoy, he is bullied by Twinkle but he would just run away as if toavoid hurting the pigeon. Maybe Epoy knows that he is my favorite.
Now it is Barbie, another pekingese that is my favorite over the 2 male dogs. And this time, it looks like the 2 male dogs know that Barbie is my favorite because they seem to be afraid of Barbie - a reverse of Epoy's character before.
