They understand when you talk about your animals as if they are family, where others look at you like you should be a patient in an insane asylum somewhere, lol. I could just scoop Wendy up a give her a giant hug. She reminds me of our Sparky, not looks wise, but her actions as you describe them.<br /><br />Our Sonny (choc lab) went missing Tuesday night. I have rode the fields, dirt roads and woods looking for him, with no success. Not knowing is pure torture! So please, say a prayer for him.
