reading about kelev and thinking of my dog.

I am a horrible person. I always read the posts about losing beloved babies, but I can never seem to respond; they make me so sad. And I just don't know what to say. Words just seem so useless and trite. Then I go find my cat babies and bug them.

That's usually me as well.

Thinking about the pets I've lost can put me into a real funk and makes me wonder, why do I have pets because losing them is so awful. But then I just watched Tucker stalking a pair of morning doves on the fence outside. He got as far as the window over the tub and they flew away. Yes, he's inside and they're outside, but he still has to "hunt." And those wonderful little silly things are the why. I love putting my ear to Cassie's belly while she sleeps because she purrs and at night she snoozes between my legs, but won't stay in a lap during the day.

So enjoy and cherish all those moments with your "babies."
