I should have known there would be numerous animal lovers on this message board...it is a group of loving caring people.
I agree completely that I don't want to experience life without knowing the love of my animals. They are the most accepting of all, they still love and support us even with all our faults. And no one will ever convince me that they don't know when we need them the most. It is a wonderful connection that I hope is never broken.
I heard a great quote the other day and I apologize if it's off topic.
"Women and cats will do as they please. Men and dogs might as well relax and accept it!!!"
