<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>You are a very intelligent and caring human being.I
absolutely understand where you are coming from.Often I have thought about those
who do not see our animals the way we do and I feel bad for them.They will never
have the understanding of a creature that gives love so freely(except for a few
milk bones) that we have. They will never know" that look "we get of pure
adoration from these beastly fellows and what that does for our hearts and
souls. They will never know how a snuggle from one of our beloved
creatures heals us when we are hurting in some manner. They lack
understanding in all these things, so I have no choice but to feel compassion
for them in some way and know they are sorrier in life than we will
ever be.They do not know what they are missing and because they do not care to
know their lives will always have an incompleteness about them . Vickie
