There are many reasons I love my pets. Growing up, I had none. It was not even an option. I have a chance to do it all over. At the moment, I have a menagerie–seven cats and four dogs. I know I won’t always have that many. I love each cat and dog. Sure they are a responsibility. I welcome that gladly. Each cat and each dog is different. Each one I have to love differently. Not every pet responds to me. So what. It is a privilege to raise them. They don’t belong to me. Each one is on loan. I treat each animal differently. Like others, there are those I love more. Cats are very different than dogs–much more independent. I am just glad I have the opportunity to raise and love each animal. It is a privilege and an honor.

I have to thank both of my wives for one thing. Both love cats and dogs. When I was growing up I never had any pets. My Mom simply was too fastidious. She could not tolerate any messes they might make. When I married Robin we usually had at least one dog and one cat. And now I have a menagerie with Lynelle: seven cats and four dogs. I would not want to live my life any other way. I love all my pets. They daily enrich my life.
