Oh I think I'd cry too. We never really had pets when I was little - everybody's schedule was a little too over the place for one I think. Or at least that was the reason my mom kept giving my sister and I.
I woke up to find Dinah on my pillow a few months ago - the kitten I had in my Dreams. I'm just trying to keep her healthy and with me for as long as I can. Daddy and I will both be really sad when it's time to say goodbye to her years from now.
