I'm sitting in my home/office, just finished proofreading The Mediterranean Way, a diet book for HarperCollins. Lucy (half German shepherd, half black Lab; 8 years old) stretched out to my right; Missy (half terrier, part Dachshund? who knows what else, beige; 16 years old) at about five o'clock behind me; and Max (chocolate standard poodle; ten months old) at seven o'clock behind me. Often one of them is at my feet and I use him or her as a footrest; not at the moment. They love me unconditionally, no matter how bad I look or how grouchy I get. I can feel the good healthy current running through my body (and mind) whenever I look at them. So I can't imagine being without a pet.
