When I had breast cancer, my animals were the reason I got out of bed and moving in the morning.
During the toughest times in my life, my animals have been what kept me going. My first thoughts were who will care for my animals? What will happen to them?
During deepest depressions when some people might have thought of ending it all, my animals were my reason for going on living, and still are. My animals ARE my family. I don't know what I would do without them.
They heal my heart also.
They are constantly putting patches on my heart every time it gets hurt again and again. I am very grateful to them all.
I have a barn cat, ten minis, an old Rottweiler, a great dane, a yorkie, an inside cat and NOW next week, I am adopting a retired Biewer Yorkshire terrier. She is being retired from breeding.
I don't know what I would do without them!
