People thinking I'm
a) cruel for keeping my horse barefoot and (usually) rugless
b) too nice/ 'a horse hippy' for training him at liberty and occasionally giving him treats, not smacking him for being scared of stuff, etc.
c) a 'hoarder' because, if one of my pets needs something, I'll try to have it on hand. I don't like to borrow other people's things, therefore I own a lot of stuff.
d) cruel for keeping my guinea pig alone and indoors (unfortunately, he attacks almost anything fluffy that moves. Literally bit a cat through the bars of his outdoor run. Also it's currently too cold outside for him, so he has his own little radiator )
e) 'over-thinking it' when I won't let people feed the guinea pig random stuff, or for taking him to the vet when his arthritis is getting bad
Essentially, I don't like being told what to do with my own pets.
