Re: Animals Keeping Us Going

[Guest guest]

I also agree that animals keep us going! I have 5 cats (4 male and 1

female), 2 dogs (female golden retriever and a male siberian husky),

a mulucan(sp?) cockatoo and quite a few cats outside also (I live on

a farm). We did have a blue and gold macaw but unfortunately he

passed on last winter. If it wasn't for my pets I don't think I

could've made it through some days! Having 5 cats can be pretty

amusing at times with their antics, they make me smile despite how I

feel.

Hoping for a pain free day,
