Great thread, Wii. I couldn't agree more. My oldest (shih-tsu) has saved my life - literally, at least 3 times. Animals ask for so little, but they return love and loyalty and affection a thousand fold. I can honestly say I wouldn't be here but for the love of my animals.

I also have been adopted by a female tabby and we have a foster cat with us now, too.

I've done volunteer work with and for animals for years. Right now I volunteer for a no-kill animal shelter. And you know what? As much love as I give them, they give me back more. It makes my heart happy to go there and clean cages and take the dogs for a walk. I recommend it for anyone who is in recovery or who just needs a boost. It makes me feel better than any drunk or drug ever did.

Here are my two boys - Bailey and Boo


My cat, Sophie-Grace


And my foster boy, Jinx
