I have had dogs most of my life, small dogs, poodles when I was young, and bichons once I became an adult. I'm a baby boomer, so that covers a lot of years. My pets have always shown me unconditional love, loyalty and compassion. They have been there through some of the best and worst times of my life.

I honestly believe the love of a pet is a true blessing. I am glad your cat was with you to be of comfort at such a sad time in your life.
