I also have 2 cats. I love them all with devotion, and get a lot of affection from them. The dogs are great companions, get me out for walks in the neighborhood or parks every day, great exercise and nice way to meet people. I never plan to marry again, and consider myself a 'semi-hermit' being a writer. Like you, I hestitate to travel due to leaving my pets alone. I honestly think there's a little something wrong with anyone who doesn't have a pet -- unless they are too frail to take care of one.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061381516154992999noreply@blogger.com
