Kim, what have you been watching on TV? Where did these thoughts come from? Nothing bad is going to ever happen to your babies and you would handle any situation in the right way.
I know when our house was broken into I froze right outside the door. The door was standing open and glass was all over the floor. I just knew that my cats had been tortured and killed by some maniac. I started to cry before I ever went in but then I thought that one of them could be hurt and I suddenly went charging in. I didn't care about the house and went on a mission to find all of the cats. Thank God no one was hurt but I will never ever forget that sick and terrifiying feeling that hit my stomach that day.
Anyway, my point is that we hear only the most horrible these days and we know bad things happen. I would just like to believe that it's not as prevelant as we are led to believe. As far as burglars go, mine was animal friendly! I thank God every day for that. I don't care that he took material things that can never be replaced.
