We are a whacky bunch! All the animals have names & at least two nicknames that they all respond too. My hubby started calling me mama hen yesterday because the chicks were following me around and jockeying for position for attention. The horses nicker when I come out of the house, my dog can't even let me go to the bathroom alone, well neither can the damn cat.
I'm sorry to hear about your dog! It is so hard when we lose them. My Jessie Mae is 10 & Nova is 12. I wish they were still pups!
We seem to collect animals. Most of them are rescues.
