@vickimurray Oh yes, animals play a big part in a persons life. My Lily at 14, but very healthy was a papillon. I had to give her up because I had a big 9 hour surgery and could not take care of her. She did not like my husband and got anxiety knowing I was in pain. She stayed my me constantly and was not happy. I e-mailed where we would board her and the owner e-mailed me back, "Can we have Lily, we Love Lily." So she's in a loving place, but I miss her tremendously. I hope to get another dog after I have healed fully.
Bless all of you animal lovers.
