I'm heading off for the evening, but it's been fantastic to be here today! I've loved all the pet stories and wish we could all meet in person with our furry friends. At least we could talk about them here, though! Thanks for a lovely day!
Pam, how great for both you and your doggie, to be able to take her to work!
Patricia, you are so right that a dog is often more ready to comfort you than a cat, although sometimes my cat will sense I'm sad and come sit in my lap.
Mary Anne, your "family" sounds lovely.
That's the thing about dogs, Michelle. It's tough to have them if you're gone a lot, but cats seem to fare better under those conditions.
Margay, your kitties sound so beautiful!
Hi, Gigi, and thank you for the warm fuzzies! Your Bridgette sounds spoiled rotten, and what fun to spoil animals, huh?
Lynn, that's fascinating about the Siberian. I'm going to have to Google those! Also, I know that some dog breeds are sort of hypo-allergenic, too. Anyway, I'm hoping one day soon you'll be in a place where you can have a kitty, or two, or . . .
Brenda, fish are pretty cool, although I agree you can't cuddle them. They do have personalities, though. Maybe one day you could check out the Siberian Lynn just mentioned.
Marjorie, greetings back to Fergie and Lady Diana! Am I to assume they're both princesses?
Self-sufficient is the right word for a cat, Shantal. Chubby and tiny sounds very cute.
LOL, Robin! I was sure Storm and Shadow would turn out to be German Shepherds. Hugs to your little ones!
Alyson, I love your description of coming home to pets who need attention! I'm also convinced they have the ability to learn many words. Ah, if only they could speak!
Mary, those cats know a soft touch when they come across one, LOL.
Lisa, there is NO doubt that my cat owns me! And she's proud of it.
Deanna, volunteering at the Humane Society is a great way to still have animals to love. I know how tough it is to lose a beloved pet, but how terrific that you're donating time to homeless animals!
Cats have that ability to rule a house, Barb. They train us well, don't they? :-)
Smart words, Leni. Dogs and cats are not all created alike, that's for sure.
Lena, I'm glad you got to have a kitty after your doggie friend died. The saddest part about dogs and cats is that they don't live as long as we do. I'm hoping Eve, who is coming up on 6, will live to be at least 20.
