@PeppyPatti I totally know how you are feeling and I am sorry you are going through that.
Thinking of you @PeppyPatti
These were my babies, and the one at the back was my boy. He knew when I was struggling and gave me extra attention. I really miss him. He gave me so much unconditional love. He has been gone for over 7 years and I still think about him and the comfort & love he gave me. Unfortunately, I live in a caravan park and pets are not allowed, otherwise I would have another dog.
@Mustang67 i so relate to dogs giving love when we are having a hard time. My dog Zeus is like that. He snuggles up against me, and if i do not watch it he will hop on my lap and lick my face when i'm down and out.
Dogs can be so very preceptive.
@DownMoreThanUp Awww Zeus is gorgeous. I love big dogs. They are better to give hugs to. But my ex-husband had a scare as a child, so he would only allow small dogs. But I don't think it matters what size they are, they are all very perceptive and give you unconditional love. I have never been this long without a dog in my life. Our family had Samoyeds all throughout my childhood and when I left home, I got a German Shephard.
I did a trial at the Animal Welfare League to become a volunteer looking after the dogs, but unfortunately my back issues stopped me from being able to do it. When I am with animals, I am in my happy place. I still have a cat, but I can't have her where I live, so when I visit my mum, I visit my cat as well. Mum reckons, she must be able to hear my car turn into her street, as she usually lays on my mum's bed, but then she seems to jump off for no reason, and then I arrive. Or if she is outside, she greats me at the door.
She was a rescue cat. She was very skittish when we first got her, but she has come a long way in the 8 years that I have had her.
