And the neighbor cats have grown in numbers...and they stop by a few times a day for the buffet. I have to watch them eat...if I don't, the banties hear the kitties and try to join them at the buffet table.
Monday, my little Carmel, the bantie with the feathers on her feet...was killed by a dog, a black dog, perhaps a rottie? So, after my total meltdown, she was buried next to my baby. I seriously had a complete meltdown...SOMEONE in the same house is still a little nervous around me, bummer.
So, the bottom line, for me anyway...I wouldn't give up the companionship or that warm fuzzy feeling I get from any of my animals! They add so much to my life. You can't buy that. Thank you again, for your caring hearts~~~big hugs to you from me~~~Elaine
