Patrick,
In 2005/2006 within a couple of months I lost 2 dogs and 2 cats. They all came into the house at the same time as puppies/kittens and incredibly all lived to about 17 years of age. I cried like a baby over each of them and am not ashamed to admit that. I had always thought I hated cats but the two I had were brother and sister and each had their own personalities. The dogs were both mixed but basically black lab and GSP. The lab right off the bat settled who was in charge when we brought her home to meet the male GSP. Of course the lab being half Rhodesian Ridgeback was a little tougher. After that day there was never any issues of what animal ran the household pets and of course they all ran me and my ex wife. I miss them still but not having had them (I think they really had us) I would have missed out on the happiness they brought into the home. Yes they are a gift from God as are children. They are family. For me no kinder words can be said of pets. They are family...
