Paddy could be a sibling of Penny - he is a small Tri-colour with kangaroo ears when alarmed. I also trip over him, apologise, pick him up, fuss him... you know the script!<br />My dogs teach me to live in my day, treat each day if it were the only one I had and each meal as if it were my last. They are 2 bundles of energy and total unconditional love.

I think there is real money to be made in regards to this sticky situation. ..'perhaps the fortune is already at our fingertips.'

Anyway, I do realise that the excellent comments on here were about folks' perspective on how much their beloved pets aka additional family members, have impacted their lives in a positive way.<br />I know you love animals other than those of the human kind. Penny has been, for lack of a better word, 'therapy', in my attempt to live a happier life. <br />I see no controversy in your comment. Always a pleasure to get varied opinions on my postings. <br />Thanks David.

Because of dog fur's uncanny ability to adhere and clump to everything, I think it's time that someone tried marketing dog fur's sticky quality to 3M. There's a fortune to be made somewhere, I'm sure. Of course with four-legged cutie pies right at our feet, perhaps the fortune is already at our fingertips. Fun post to read.

We cried together, laughed together, were scared together, ran together in the park. It's a beautiful thing how much they really are family members, and how we take them for granted until they're no longer with us. Not so unlike our human connections.
