Hi 2claws,
Thank you so much for sharing the picture and story of Pumpkin! Just being reminded of the therapeutic effect of animals and their unconditional love is a great thought to behold...
Their is some incredible 'magic' in the gift of animals and how they can sooth us and be there for us, and can even sense when we are hurting..
My best friends have been the animals that have shared their lives with me..particularly my cats, Tiger and Sylvester who have since passed away..I still think of them and the comfort, friendship, and faithfulness they gave to me..
I am so happy for you that you have the comfort of your cat at night, and the companionship of your horses..
If I could, I would have many, many animals roaming about the house!! deer, raccoons, a chicken or two, a moose, several puppies and kittens...
uh-oh, I'm getting carried away...
hugs from Hope4thebest
