I have enjoyed( strange word to use) the emotion conveyed through this weeks entries...

@ninjamike yours certainly did not disappoint in this regard. Yes it seems that being a pet owner comes with inbuilt sizable portions of joy and pain and bucketfulls of love. Our special friends be they furry, featherd, scaled or otherwise most certainly add to our lives.

I did love the name Snowball, sweet, sweet irony but Gem seems a very appropriate name for one so precious to you.

The dreams seem normal...Me too!

An enjoyable read, painful at times. Enjoy the journey my friend. (That damn empathy, right?) :D
