Re: Just wanted to let you know...Lea

[Guest guest]

Lea,

Thanks, I'm glad you understand how I feel. If you had asked me 2

years ago if I would feel this way I would have said no way! I

didn't want an inside animal, I felt that my house would be dirty and

smelly and I could never love another animal the way I did when I was

a kid. Then came Peanut. She came here with my son after spending a

long weekend at his friend's house. The two became inseparable and

the owner's asked if we wanted to keep her. I said no!!! Then came

the begging from the kids and somehow my husband said yes. I told my

son (then 13) that he had to take her with him when he went to his

aunt's farm for summer break which was about a week or so away. Then

came time for him to leave and I told him he couldn't take her with

him! She became mine very quickly and she's my best friend now.

When she had her puppies it was like I was having more grandkids! I

was with her just like I was with my daughter when she had my

grandson. I couldn't believe how attached I was to her puppies right

from the start. I'm so glad I have her and I would pay thousands of

dollars to make her well if she was sick.

I hope your son finds a new kitty soon. I feel for him. And no, I'm

not Pam Dowd, my last name is Pearson. The name sounds familiar

though...

Pam, you don’t have to explain it to me! I also have love for animals, I have 4 kitties and a dog! Bless their little hearts, and I do- every day with tons of kisses!
