I have a very special relationship with my dog
He's a year and a half old and I don't know what I would do if something happened to him. He didn't do anything as dramatic as save me from suicide but he was with me when I would cry over my failing marriage and would sleep with me every single night.

Especially moving piece.  It is the simplicity that makes it so strong.  Beautiful picture.  Many times I feel closer to animals than to humans.  Mark

OB-- my heart goes out to you
I just read this and the tears are running down my face and little Rev is catching them as they fall from my face. some kitties are forever companions-- even if we only have them a little while ( 16 years is great though!!)-- they live forever in our hearts and that right there makes us better people!!!

reminds me of my charlie.
He was an orange and white tabby kitten that was so spunky!  He had a little orange spot under his nose like a charlie chaplain moustache.  He used to climb my leg up to my arms for me to hold him.  one day he got out and never came home.  WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!

Yeah, she really was.. I'm glad I was still here to look after her when she became sick.
