You have goldens too!! My own sweet golden girl died of some hideous lung infection about six years ago . . . nearly killed me. Since, I've gone back to cats as primary pets. Still love dogs, adopted and saved one off the street (a black lab mix) but he was too high maintenance for me to keep -- he needed a "stay-at-home-mommy" instead of a sixty-hour-week corporate slave. :-) When I'm in one of my "can't leave the house" funks (which thankfully are fewer and further between than in many years, since I've finally stabilized on Lexapro -- Thank God!!) the kitties pretty much mind themselves, and look after me, as long as I feed them and clean their box, which I can manage even on days I'm too sick to work. And, fortunately, my dear roommate would never let them suffer, even if I was too sick to care for them.Anyway, I've gotten really good at resisting the "woeful stares" -- expecially knowing who kills and drags home the pet food in our house (I do), so I know they're *not* starving. Or even hungry. Couldn't possibly be. I spend more on pet food than I do on people food!!!
So bring on the garlic and ginger . . . . IsoM, when shall we leave?
