If I could come back as anything it would be my friend Jennie's dog.
In his old age he gets not one but 2 heated beds, the latest doggie
meds for old dog bones, often home cooked food. Jennie makes a pot of dog food
from scratch often. No meat by products. too much !When I am depressed, I can't deal with people, too much everything, it hurts. However
animals don't bring all the excess stuff to their relationships with us. Being together can
mean sitting in my lap while I am on the net, purring while I absent mindedly stroke
Minerva's fur. It's a great comfort to have my animals, they keep me connected at times
when it is easy to forget what hormal feels like.james
