3. Pets

I could not live without my dogs. My husband prefers his cats but my dogs rule my heart.

4. This is exactly what I said earlier today.

I had a conversation about my cats (the one I still have and the one I just lost) and all the health problems and vet trips with a coworker. She said "you must have spent a lot of money on cats". And I told her that they were MY family and I will do whatever I can for them, as long as I can. Family!!!! Furry fuzzy family!!!! Can't beat it.

5. They most certainly are

Our pets have never known they were animals. We refer to them as our kids.

8. We found a great coop last summer, but they allowed NO pets.

My doctor gave me an actual prescription for two cats, but the board was not moved. I could never live without animals and I couldn't begin to live in a place where no one had animals. That seems completely unnatural to me. Animals are family.

9. the other night my wife was at yoga - Charlie Brown X mas was on - I realized my two dogs and two

kitties were right around me (not exactly watching it...well, maybe one of the cats took a look now and then!). But I was surrounded by my 4 legged family members and watching a favorite show. Couldn't be beat!

10. Of course they are

I firmly believe that anyone that thinks otherwise either has no pets or doesn't deserve the ones they have.
