Guest guest Posted September 5, 2002 Report Share Posted September 5, 2002 Nancie, I wholeheartedly agree with you on 'animals keep us going'. There are days that I wouldnt' get out of bed if my dogs weren't whining and barking and my parrots weren't screaming to be fed. Some days I feel like I can't possibly keep going and care for them. But I force myself to on those days. My birds only get cleaned once a week and I know that is terrible but it's the best I can do. Sometimes I think maybe I should sell them to somebody who could care for them better, but they have been with me for years and years. We have such a history together, I couldn't part with them and I think they would hate to leave me too. I have two dogs, one 1/2 cocker spaniel & 1/2 lab, and one Shih-Tzu. I have two Macaws, one Cockatoo, one Amazon, 5 Cockatiels and two Doves. Our Golden died a year ago and we recently lost a shepherd mix to an accident. I love my animals! I don't know what I 'd do without them. My kids are all gone now except for my son who is 19 and handicapped. They keep me sane.
