Many times i make the effort to get out of bed because my dogs and cat need to be fed. Indeed, when i start picturing how i could end my life i think of them and how they would suffer, particular one of them who is always very frightened

Well the pets my my household are pretty much like people around me...
If a cat is asleep next to me. If I start crying, they get up, look at me strange and run away...and leave me all alone...

its a sad thing...but its a funny thing to now that I am writing about it.

My dogs do what i call "the happy dance" after they have been fed and watered or (most often) after done something they shouldn't have.

It involves charging in to the living at about 500mph and leaping on to the back of the sofa, getting their backsides high in the air and rubbing their face up and down, snorting and grunting until their face fluff is crazier than my very worst bed head.

Guaranteed to bring a small smile to my face, even if i have been rudely awoken by them using my belly as a trampoline to get themselves up there
Thanks for this!

My chihuahua likes to sit on my lap and that makes me feel like he loves me. I can feel the heat coming off of him. He also follows me around the house when I'm home which makes feel like I'm not alone.
Thanks for this!

Oh yeah, my baby gurl Waggie DOES keep me alive. Depressed, badly suicidally depressed, but alive she keeps me. I can't even look at her whilst planning the ''get out'' - - I just can't do it to her. I choose to manage and look after her life, therefore she is MY responsibility. I KNOW she loves me, although she is the only one who does. I value her MORE than any other living thing in this world. HUGZZ. xxxxxxxxxxxxx

My dog sleeps in my bed with me. When I wake up from a nightmare, sobbing uncontrollably, she licks the tears off my cheeks and I give her a hug. It's like she's telling me it's okay to not be okay and that she'll never leave me.
