Good posts, everyone! Some of these stories are so touching!
Ashley, I'm glad your doggies help with your depression. Believe me, it's not a fun thing to have, and animals really do help out a lot.

I love all of my animals, but Marius is my heart cat and we share a special connection. He always makes me feel better when I'm feeling down by climing into my lap, purring and nuzzling me. I can't help but feel better when he comforts me.

**hugs**
