Well Erika you answered one question without ever me asking it. So how much you have improved. You anticipated my question!!!! I wanted to make sure your dog and cat are still with you. Yes, they are the best companions, they can anticipate needs, problems and give you the care and love you need. they sense your mood and give you what you need. So sorry you have had to go through this though. You are such a strong, giving, unselfish woman. Know that you are thought of often and we welcome any quick hi we can get.
