CH Bever Lea Fox Hollow Vixen JE is the light of my life and, since I have no kids, the spoiled rotten kid of my life. ^_^
We are taking a "dinner break" right now from passing out candy and "kisses" to the kiddos coming by. All the children in the neighborhood know Vixen and forget to say "Trick or Treat" after greeting Vixen and playing with her. LOL! We were dressed as witches tonight but her hat was annoying her to no end and mine was making me too hot, so now we're just candy dispensers.
We spend a great deal of time together and she now catches frisbees in her mouth, so we're training to compete in the "Doggy Disc" competition in addition to our agility, obedience, rally and earthdog competitions. I just love it! I can totally see how people with pets live longer than those who don't have them.
Have always LOVED animals, but growing up, only 'out door' animals were allowed, since Mom was allergic to fur & feathers!
Had several cats, one at a time, a raccoon- my favorite pet, a baby rabbit, mice once- yuck!!!, and one Siberian Husky, which lived in one of the neighbor's backyard kennels- he had hunting dogs.
Each of the cats ended up either getting run over, which was always traumatic, or they disappeared, probably to an 'indoor' family <_< . The Husky didn't last long, since he needed feeding & care before school, and it was such a LONG trek (cross two acres lots- WAY in the back)... He was given to a nice family with a farm~
Had one indoor cat while I was single, living alone... it would sneak out and get into fights... interesting popping those perfectly round, puss filled, deep bite wounds :( It seemed to have fleas that wouldn't go away... then I went WOW...
My parents agreed to sell my place for me... since it hadn't sold before I left. Mom said after a couple of weeks, she walked in to show it, and fleas were jumping up to her knees :unsure:
Two puppies during our way days, one was a 'glad-peer', which I didn't know how to handle, along w/ our three little children... and the next one ran under my car while I was backing out of the driveway Mom killed the dog~
Seven years later we bought a Yorkie-Poo. She has hair not fur, lives indoors, easy to clean up after w/ a tissue, full of silly antics and can travel with us
I LOVE LOVE LOVE animals!!!! I keep trying to talk my dog in to letting me have another and another and another and another. He won't have it, and I need a bigger place to have them all!!! Some day I will, and I will have a dog rescue too.

The only time I didn't live with animals was when my children were small. I was afraid someone would get hurt.
They become so much more than just companions. They are family.
