So sorry @kross8 and @GaryInTexas I am the same way about my animals. Seriously, even my chickens have their own personalities and things they do. I had one that would meet me in the coop every day when I went to collect eggs. She had to be petted. If I pretended to ignore her, she would peck on my shoulder until I petted her. I bawled when I lost her. I cry for days on end when I lose a dog. Some people might call me pathetic, but I really do not care about their opinion whatsoever. I love my babies...feathered or furry!
