Chasmo and GregD, your animals sound cute! What would we do without them.
I have 2 dogs, Sadie is border collie and Bruce is a mutt but looks like a Vizla. Sadie is extremely intelligent and Bruce is extremely the opposite, but so cute you can't help but love him. Bruce especially follows me everywhere I go even to the bathroom. I am his source of food, chewies, cheese slices, dog food, treats, the list goes on.
I also had a cat named Moochie who was the best cat ever. He actually gave me massages that would last about 20 minutes in my lower back. When I had a cold or flu, Moochie was always in bed with me. Unfortunately, Moochie got old and lost his bladder control and had to be put to sleep. I will never forget him.
I like your attitude GregD. That's the way we have to be, isn't it. Take care.
