“The Creator has blessed us w/superlative canine and feline companions.”
Definitely. We had to have one of our kitties euthanized last week and (I’m ashamed to say) I took it harder than when my father died. Of course, the cat was the sweetest and most loving animal we’ve ever had, and Dad was a SOB. That could have something to do with it. Little Duke’s brother and sister appear to be dealing with some separation anxiety and depression now that he’s gone. And we’re having a rough time, too.
They wrap their little paws around our hearts....
