Lon had posted about missing having a dog. I get my dog "fix" by pet sitting for family members. I also don't know if I could go through the death of another pet,worse yet, the dog might out live us and I know there would be know one to take the dog in. I have these photos on the wall in my living room. They include all the pets I have ever owned and in the case of the cats, they owned me. Of course there were several birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, parakeets and the cockatiel that I still have. Most have come from shelters or friends. The Yorkshire Terrier unfortunately came from a puppy mill when I didn't know any better, and yes he was sick. He did recover and we had him for 16 years. The first one in the black and white photo,my Dad found almost frozen laying in a ditch.It took awhile for my Dad to gain his trust but he eventually did. He must have been badly abused. Each one had its own unique personality. I loved them all so much.
