I have found that T & P have been a great comfort over the years too. Tubby has been with me through more men than I care to count, and he has helped me get over each and every one of them quite nicely thank you very much. Peanut, being a little more stand offish, has not been quite as comforting, but even she seems to know when I'm feeling down and then she's extra sweet, if that's possible.

CCL, Tubby used to be just like Leroy. When I was having a bad day and he was "acting up" at first I'd be mad and tell him to knock it off, but like you, the next thing you know I'd be smiling, then laughing, then down on the floor playing with him - completely forgetting why I was grumpy in the first place.
