One of the nicest things about this board is the number of people who have fur babies who are so much a part of the family that they "help." I have two cats who came during a freezing storm to ask for shelter. I have no idea from whence they came. And I have three dogs, a rescue Pomeranian, a rescue Yorkie and a Yorkie raised from a pup. They are all terrific helpers. froggyintexas
