My animal friends have been closer to me in many ways than any of my human friends. They ask less yet accept all of me, no qualifications.

When one of my animal friends pass, I have human friends who understand--& we say nothing but cry together. I have mostly human friends who don't have a clue.

Isn't it wonderful to have this place where so many get it?

I'm very glad, Xeneon, that you are telling us about you & your friend. It means so much to me to have this glimpse into what was clearly a beautiful, rich, two-way friendship. What a blessing!
