THAT'S OK , I WAS RAISED WITH LOTS OF ANIMALS GROWING UP. WHEN I WAS LITTLE IT WAS CHICKENS, A TURKEY, RABBITS, PIGS BIRDS A CAT AND A DOG.  THE FOSTER FAMILY I LIVED WITH RAISED THEM FOR FOOD AND EGGS AND WHEN IT CAME TIME FOR THE PIGS AND CHICKENS TO BE  SLAUGHTERED I CRIED MY EYES OUT. I COULD NEVER RAISE ANYTHING THEN TURN AROUND AND KILL IT. MY HUSBAND SAID WE COULD NEVER GET A COW TO RAISE CAUSE I WOULD NAME IT THEN HE COULDN'T KILL IT, I SAID YOU ARE RIGHT THERE!  EVERYTIME ONE OF MY PARAKETTES DIED WE WOULD GET ANOTHER ONE SO I WOULDN'T BE SO SAD. HENCE MY LOVE FOR ANIMALS. I WAS SO LITTLE THAT I COULD CRAWL INTO THE RABBITS CAGE WITH THEM. MY CAT WOULD CATCH FEILD MICE AND BRING THEM TO ME MOST OF THEM WERE DEAD BUT ONE WAS ALIVE WHICH I RASIED TILL IT WOULDN'T EAT ANY MORE AND I HAD TO LET IT GO AND WHEN I DID  MICKY LOOKED BACK AT ME BEFORE HE WENT INTO THE BUSHES AND I CRIED FOR DAYS.  I WAS WITH THIS FOSTER FAMILY FROM AGE 4 TO AGE 10 THEN TO ANOTHER ONE FOR 3 YEARS THEN TO ANOTHER ONE TILL I WAS ABOUT 14 THEN MY FATHER GOT ME OUT AND I SPENT THE REMAINING 3 YEARS TILL I TURNED 18 WITH HIM. MY STEP MOTHER WAS SO MEAN THAT I COULDN'T WAIT TO LEAVE.  I TURNED 15 THE SUMMER MY DAD GOT ME OUT OF FOSTER CARE, HE HAD SEVERAL ANIMALS ALSO. A COUPLE HORSES , ONE WAS A BIG WHITE HORSE WITH SILVER SPOTS ON HIS RUMP AND ONE BLUE EYE AND ONE BROWN EYE WHICH HE WAS NAMED CLOUD. I LOVED RIDING HIM EXCEPT WHEN HE WOULD GO OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF A SMALL POND AND KICK WATER  UP ALL OVER ME. IF I SAT DOWN IN FRONT OF HIM HE WOULD NUDGE ME. I MISS HIM.

Thats so beautiful and sad too i think the ache in our hearts for lost pets never leaves us just eases a little over time , i myself like you never had children it was a decision i made that i didnt want kids when i was in my teens ,i always wanted to help animals somehow and i wanted to give my full attention to my pets , i do help out at a rehoming centre for lost abandoned dogs close to my home, when ever im needed, i also help out when they hold their annual fetes to raisemoney and awareness of the welfare of animals, it just makes me feel as if im doing my little bit to help those poor unfortunate animals and pets, Right now having kanga i feel like the luckiest person in the world , he makes me smile too everyday  just like your wonderful pets do for you, what more could we want or ask for when these wonderful animals give us so much, I hope i havent caused you to be sad by mentioning your pet cemetary, i do apologise dearly if i have its just that i think that is such a wonderful tribute you have done for your lost pets , please accept my apologyShirley if ive caused upset    hugs from sharon xxxxx

YES, EVERYTIME I GO UP BACK AND TALK TO THEM I CRY. IT STILL BREAKS MY HEART.  I CAN'T GO UP THERE TOO OFTEN BUT WHEN I DO I TELL THEM HOW MUCH I LOVE AND MISS THEM STILL.JUST TALKING ABOUT THEM MAKES ME CRY.   SINCE I NEVER HAD CHILDREN THEY WERE MINE.  NOW SHADOW AND CASPER ARE BROTHERS AND BOTH ARE VERY PROTECTIVE OF ME. ONE DAY SHADOW KNOCKED ME DOWN WITH HIS CABLE AND CASPER RUN BACK AND FORTH BARKING AT HIM. IF THEY ARE LOOSE AND SHADOW GETS CLOSE TO ME CASPER GETS BETWEEN ME AND HIM AND GROWLS AT HIM SO I HAVE TO SCOLD THEM SO THEY STOP. BEEN THAT WAY SINCE DAY ONE. WE GOT THEM BOTH WHEN THEY WERE ABOUT 6 MONTHS OLD, THEY ARE ABOUT 10 NOW. GHETTO IS ABOUT 6 AND PRINCESS IS ABOUT 10. I CALL CASPER BUBBA AND SHADOW BUDDY AND GHETTO I CALL BUBBIE. HE IS MY BIG BABY.BUT HE DON'T MESS WITH CASPER SINCE CASPER KICKED HIS BUTT, THOUGHT HE WAS A TOUGHIE AND SOON FOUND OUT HE ISN'T.

does she not like being handled by people? i suppose she has her own little free spirit  she knows you are there to love and care for her and for her thats enough, she is just such a little sweetie  ,  how sad about you losing pets its always so painful when  they pass away but like you say having little jackie eases your pain  and yes she is a little Angel  who found her way to you to bring you comfort and happiness, i must say what a beautiful memorial to all your beloved pets to have a pet cemetary on your property ,they,ll alaways be close and closer still in your heart

SHE LIKES TO SIT ON THE COUNTER AND WATCH ME COOK OR DO DISHES, SHE IS SO CURIOUS. SHE WON'T LET ME PICK HER UP I HAVE TO SNEAK ATTACK HER IN ORDER TO PICK HER UP THEN IT IS ONLY FOR A FEW SECONDS! THEN SHE RUNS AND HIDES.  SHE IS A DANDY! SHE LIKES TO CHASE FLIES TOO AND CHATTERS AT THEM , SHE IS SO FUNNY SHE MAKES ME LAUGH A LOT. I HAVE LOST SO MANY PETS IN A LITTLE MORE THAN A YEAR AND SHE GIVES ME SUCH HAPPINESS, IT HELPS EASE THE PAIN.  WE HAVE A PET CEMETARY IN THE BACK OF OUR PROPERTY. SINCE MARCH OF LAST YEAR WE HAVE LOST 7 1 BEING A FRIENDS CAT WHO WAS 18 YRS. AND 2 ANOTHER FRIENDS  DOGS, JUST TOO MANY TOO CLOSE TOGETHER. FINDING JACKIE WAS LIKE MY LITTLE ANGEL WHO BRINGS SO MANY SMILES TO MY LIFE.

what a lovely story  and how luck the little one is that you found her especially being so young too.I love th thought of poor Ghetto walking passed and she swats him i see shes found courage i can imagine she brings you lots of joy as your other pets too theyre all very beautiful  id love to own more than omne pet  i just have kanga who i adore  but he can be a handful at times and he just laps up attention from me  which dosent leave me much time to anything else  but truth be told  i dont mind one single bit  i love him too much  he brings me so much happiness just by being him

THANKS. SHE IS ONE OF THE HIGHLIGHTS OF MY DAY!  MY DOG GHETTO IN THE PICTURE HERE FOUND HER UNDER MY TRAILER  THEN SHE CAME OUT THE BACK AND HIM AND MY PRINCESS HAD HER CORNERED SO I GOT THEM AWAY FROM HER AND BROUGHT HER INSIDE, SHE WAS SCARED TO DEATH! SHE JUST FIT IN MY HAND AND HER EYES WERE STILL BLUE SO SHE HAD TO BE ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS OLD. GHETTO WOULD FOLLOW HER ALL OVER THE PLACE. . I WOULD ASK HIM WHERE'S THE BABY AND HE WOULD LOOK RIGHT WHERE SHE WAS. ONCE I PUT A COLLAR ON HER HE DON'T FOLLOW HER BUT HE STILL KNOWS WHERE SHE IS IF I ASK HIM. I WOULD TELL HIM  IF YOU HURT THE BABY I WILL HURT YOU THEN HE WOULD WALK LIKE HE WAS IN SLOW MOTION! IT WAS SO FUNNY !! AS HE PASSED HER SHE WOULD STAND ON HER HIND FEET AND SWAT HIM ! I GUESS HE THOUGHT HE WAS PROTECTING HER. WHAT A JOY SHE IS TO HAVE AROUND. MY OTHER 3 ARE A LOT OLDER AND HAVE PASSED THE CRAZY KITTY STAGE BUT JACKIE IS INTO EVERYTHING!
