How can we survive in this maddening world without our pets? Be it a dog, cat or some other critter, they fill a void in our lives as we bond to them and they bond to us. It must be the old need of wanting to be needed by both us humans and those domesticated critters, it must be in the DNA of both species?
In the end we pay a price, as in any relationship we get involved with. It is hard to think of the many one-way trips I have made to a vet to send a pet over the Rainbow Bridge or others that went out the door and never returned. Through the pain, tears and grief there is some relief knowing they had a good life with us and many would not have survived without us Their love for us is unconditional and when they are gone we seek another to fill that void in our life.
How can we live without them?
And fine & furry they are, all w/such a personality!
