I agree. I have 2 dogs. Big mama is a 135lb and Doodle Doo is 6lbs. I love them to death. They give unconditional love. If I am crying Big Mama is there licking me and moaning. It's incredible what they understand. Last year my son asked for a cat for his birthday. I never owned or had friends with cats so i was kinda hesitant (but they know I never say no to animals). It was the best thing at the best time. Bugga Boo is so cool. He has such personality. My RSD was bad and he would make me laugh so much. I was becoming depressed prior to getting him(Bugga Boo) and he truly saved me. momof4
