I know some people will find that silly but it is true. She has even came to my arms and loved me right at the moment I was about to end it all and saved my life. Animals are innocent and love unconditionally and never hurt us emotionally. They are safe. You have a friend here who will listen if needed. Hugs to you

I don't have any pets. I had two rats who both died within two months of each other to cap off my 2011... Oh, and I might mention that my last rat died a few days after Christmas where I was insulted by a close friend and basically told by my dad that he's going to continue to reject my claims that I'm a man because he can't be bothered to think beyond his little box. I'm too poor to afford a pet anyway. I'm terribly, deathly allergic to cats and dogs are too expensive. I don't want to keep a smaller pet since they die too early; I can't cope with yet another loss. Besides, I can barely take care of myself, much less attend to the needs of something that is completely dependent on my being there and having enough energy and presence of mind to deal with it. Oh, and when my last rat died, the closest vet nearest to me gave me such grief even during my bereavement because I could not pay the $35 "disposal" fee to remove the body. Their treatment of me put me in a tail-spin where I nearly panicked and almost threatened to commit suicide right there in the office. They didn't want to wait 12 hours so I could get the money I needed; they wouldn't even take half-payment in good faith! Why would I want to subject any other animal to that sort of treatment?
