Friends For Life
Unconditional love I provide
When you return I'll be by your side
I'll take care of you and you of me
For the rest of my life, friends we'll be
When you feel sick, I'll be your nurse
You'll always feel better, never worse
Some of us will learn tricks
Others will smell mint for kicks
Some of us will play for fun
While your eyes become bright as sun
I'll always care through thick and thin
And I'll always consider you kin
Now you've heard what I would say
If I could speak to you this way
What am I?

I thought it was a dog at first, but as i read on, I wasn't so sure...
Anyways, nice one.

Beautifully wrote, Great Teaser. Good Job, I enjoyed this one. Keep 'em coming!!
thanks guys
Well I'm not so sure about the cats feelings mine always have this somewhat condescending air. But I liked the poem and teaser.
All I could think of was an animal. Read it again and got closer to possible domestic pet. Good one, keep those coming.
from one pet lover( actually 3 dogs and 3 cats) to another, it was easy but fun--well done
thanks
Cute one.
I loved the teaser, but didn't get the hint. Maybe I'm just up too late trying to figure things out.
That was cute
How true....I absolutly love this one....good job
Nice poetry. And fun too.
That was a fun teaser. I wasn't too sure about the answer. YOU GOT ME!!! WELL DONE!
good one
it was cute it was fun it was easy and i liked it a lot.thank you and have a blessed day.
I got it with the first line. Cute, but much too easy. Keep trying; you'll come up with a stumper for us!
awwww......
Since we have a dog, and I know how loving and loyal they are, my guess was.... well, a dog! However, a PET is a lot more of a reasonable answer, because since we also have a cockatiel and she stays by my daughter's side almost constantly, yes... it very well SHOULD be "pet." A sweet riddle that makes me go, 'Awwww!'
What a cute and sweet riddle. I loved it. You did a wonderful job!
First line gave it away.
The poetry was great. I could alomost e-mail it to my guy. I liked it !!
awww! i love this riddle! it is o true!
It was really easy, but it was so cute. My dogs were sitting next to me as I read it. I think they liked it, too.
That was great! I got it! Riddles are my fav.
Hehe, I thought it was a cat at first, when it said the mint line I was so sure of that... but a pet is pretty much the same.
I thought of a dog too, That was a really good one, I liked it.
I thought it was cat also because of the mint. Then I looked it over once more and came up with pet. Good job!
AWWWW that really was cute .
thought of my dog right away. brings pleasent thoughts
YEAH ME I got it without looking at the hint or anwser first. Either I got it going on right now or it was just that easy. Whatever it me be it was cute and I am the bomb!!!!
So true
I thought it was a pet at firsat, but when I looked at the hint, I wasn't so sure....... A great lesson on using your extincts.....I know someone said something kinda similar to this ,and I have something to say to that person......I'm sorry. Anyway, I thought the teaser was really sweet
This made me think of my dog Neo and my 3 year old together as soon as I started to read it. Very nice.
That was too cute.
that made me 'awwww!'
that was a great teaser.
keep em' up
that was a great teaser.
keep em' up
Good teaser!!! I love my pets! I have one cat, 2 dogs (half beagle, half dachsund), and all the dust bunnies...hehe
cute!!!
That was CUTE ,GOOD and alot of fun AND I got it Pure luck as I just guessed and really wasSURPRISED!!!!!!!! when I saw the answer Nice going my friend PS ,a FAVORITE.
Great riddle, but i 've heard it b4, so you didn't make it up. Some ppl were acting like you did by saying things like "Great rhyming". But it was a good one!! LOL.
PS- oh, by the way realm2346, i think you meant 'instincts' rather than 'extincts'. Extinct is decribing an animal that no longer exists...DUH!!!

pops i did make it up
Very sweet !
I got that one! lol Pretty cool
Very well put together. I like when people make poems in their teasers. I think its easier.
Good one!!!!!
Good one!!!!!
I thought it was either a pet or good friend!
i liked the teaser. it was nice after a long day of hauling fuel. it is very true. sometimes the only thing you can count on is your pet. thanks. keep it coming.
Icouldn't agree more!!! I've had my dog for 14yrs. & he's been there thru thick & thin.... good teaser! Nice to read...
I guessed this one right off. I thought it to be cute and true. Good job Deep.
For some reason I read "the rest of your life" the first time. When I read it again I got it.
Correct answer should be more restrictive, such as dogs and cats or "some pets". I once had a pet snake and goldfish-really don't think they loved me.
good one but i thought it was a dog but the defintion was pet in genral. I like it
i meant general*
This was great- TY
I loved it deepsea! Terrific!
Very nice. I too thought dog since that is the only pet I have ever had. Enjoyed this teaser. Thanks for posting.
I guess the nurse in me thought it was our immune system, or something to that effect.
Good riddle, I thought it was a CAT.
Good teaser..thought it was a doggie!!! I guess that counts as a correct answer.
What else except our faithful friends and companions. Where would many of us be without the devotion of our animal friends. We love them with all our hearts, and they reciprocate. Beautiful sentiment, thanks for the reminder.
i guessed dog! so that counts!
My first thought was DOG but I couldn't really see how they could be my nurse, nor did I understand the reference about my eyes being bright as the sun.
Thanks for posting.

If you go back and look at the names that commented in 2005 you will notice that none of them are familiar. People get tired of the same riddles getting repeated and quit the site. Isn't it sad the publishers can't give us new material. I know that I will get another red mark for this,but at least I feel it has to be said.
What the heck does "smell mint for kicks" mean?
"smell mint for kicks" refers to cats. catnip is a species of mint. Great riddle. My 1st thought was dog to, then went to pet in general as I read on.
I thought it was a pet, but I didn't know the meaning of some of the lines. But, I got the riddle!
Beautifully written teaser - thanks!
Our pets do make such good, lifelong friends. Happy day to my special friends - furry or not!

doehead, if you're still around, did you know there are plenty of riddles on this site? Go to the top of this page and look to the left for links to all kinds of teasers.
This one was well written, kinda easy.

AROB-AWOR Go back to my 2008 answer,and I still feel the same. By the way;

Congrats to my favorite Steelers' fan. From a happy Lions' fan!
PS What's this about "if Doehead is still around" ? He is immortal.
And, in fact, so are some of the teasers!
And life goes on...

I have to agree with Doehead about repeats, I have not been around nearly as long as he has (not even sure i have hit a year yet) and I have seen repeats. OF COURSE we all know that there are 1000s of teasers and quizzes on here, but I check the daily ones first every morning. And as I said, in the short time I've been around they have resurfaced.
I honestly think that if the author of a teaser/quiz has not been around in a set timeframe (to be determined by the owner of the site) that all their material should be removed. That would not only cut down on repeats on teasers but open up the quizzes a bit since you are not allowed to ask a question that has been asked in another quiz ever. Makes it difficult to come up with fun and interesting ORIGINAL materiel.

Again, I'm seeing this riddle for the first time, so, not a repeat for all of us!
I thought 'dog'; close enough for me!!

Cute. A pet. Always wanted one.
Kinda boring, and very obvious from the start.
Fun and entertaining teaser. I also thought it was dog.
