I love animals. 12 years ago my husband and I adopted a female lab mix pup from a shelter. She had such a mild dispostion. She trained so easy. She was the best dog I ever had. We would go camping at different places and "Sarah" would stay in our site without being tethered. She stayed in our yard and would wait till we came back from where ever we went. Even the vet would talk about how well behaved she was. We had to put her down a few years ago, arthritis and bladder problems. I miss her alot. We have other pets, a chu-rat terrier mix, 2 cats and a box turtle.

Hi!
I am SO sorry about your loss of Sarah. but I have arthritis and I know that the pain can make you crazy. You did the right thing.
I have 5 cats, 2 dogs and 9 birds. But that's not why I'm here!
Pets can save your life!!!! I know of many people who have Not gone susicidal (I am one of them) because of their pets.
Pets DO help! And we help them.

PS: I love box turtles, too.
