One thing my friends and family know about me is that I have been a major animal lover all my life.
I just have to smile when I see my daughter Rachael interacting with my cats. The first thing she does in the morning when she comes down is talk to Buddy or whichever cat is closest. She sits down on the floor with him, pets him and pets him, talks to him and tells him she loves him. If I do nothing else in my lifetime I think I have given her a huge gift.
I think the best thing we can do for our children is raise them with pets. It teaches them many things.
