Congratulations on the new additions. Only you know when you are ready to open your heart to a new addition and I'm glad you listened to your heart! There is nothing like a cat or dog to share your life and home with, they love you no matter what. I share my home with six cats, three dogs, a guinea pig, a chinchilla and a rabbit and I simply can't image not having them in my life. May you have many, many years of pure joy with your new additions!
