chillywillyI have always had dogs and my best one, a miniature Schnauzer had to be put down because of a cancer in his stomach I still grieve for him, but I got a replacement for him in my lil mutt Chico. They were good friends, and My sister gave me Chico after Max was put down. It was a consolation, and I lover the lil critter now, too but I sure miss my Max. I also enjoy cats and nothing is more entertaining than kittens at play; when I lived on an 8 acre apricot orchard I had a dozen cats (in addition to 2 ferrets, a rabbit and my Schnauzer, Max.)
