So glad to know there are other animal fanatics out there! I'm a nurse who has witnessed the most tragic of human illness' and suffering. But it is the suffering and plight of lost, abandoned or sick animals that really gets to me. Glad to hear someone else out there can see a sad story about a child and feel badly, but burst into tears over the plight of a furkid. Babies are cute, but nothing beats the sweet smell, softness and breath of a puppy! Can't pass up a chance to stop anyone with a "pup" to say hi and hopefully get a big lick on the face. Although a new "member" to your site, it is my mission to go back and see all of the previous dogs, cats and pets of the day. EVERYONE is soooo precious it's almost painful!
