a animals love is pure towards us...their loyalty despite how they may be treated, neglected, ignored, etc., remains within them to love and be loved. Sounds so human and maybe that's why we are able to connect so closely with our pets. The price of loving an animals is that we will probably outlive them and our loss when they go. It's never easy...with my own Molly I look at her sometimes and wonder why God brought her to us...she's been my protector, my companion, a clown, my best friend at times, and I know I need her more than she needs me. Okay...I'm starting to tear up so I'll close...I understand what you're saying, Chatty...completely!
