Animals add so much to stories and to our lives in many ways. Their humorous antics and quirks are a big part of our enjoyment.

Just gorgeous. And the characters sound dynamic and so real. May we always laugh and cry with these people we call "characters." We all know they simply live in a slightly altered dimension and aren't visible to everyone. That's where we come in.Virginia McCulloughhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00742085109270186669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2442063056672240555.post-50626031368570622022017-06-17T11:49:51.077-07:002017-06-17T11:49:51.077-07:00Oh, Beth, you are such a sweetheart!

I can't imagine my life without them! I love those therapy programs where pets are trained to visit the sick and elderly.

I've had some pretty harrowing cat experiences myself trying to catch stray kittens and lure in cats, So, it wasn't much of a stretch to write about it. Isn't it weird how sensitive cats are about the vet? It's always amazed me. No matter how hard you try to be sneaky, they just know.

I'm definitely going to order it. I laughed when I read what you said about the scene with the cat. Cat's definitely are tricky. You should see when we're trying to catch ours to take him to the vet.
