My mother did not like pets in the house while growing up - I did have a few horses, though ...........
Maybe that's why now I have all the adorables I can care for - to make up for everything I've missed !!! :haha:
Agree with you, Venus - they can still even teach grown-up's a thing or two - it's amazing how compassionate they are - getting home after work (or even only getting the mail), they're always excited to see you !!!
