Dogs or cats? – So ask the Daily Writing prompt.

I’ve always been a cat person. I do love dogs though. All my friends have dogs and my son has two that we watch often.

Pets have given me so much joy in life. But their time here is so short it, the pain of losing them over time builds up. The last few years have been the first without a pet. My better half can’t stand the pain anymore of losing those 4 legged family members.

I would still have them but I have to respect her also. And I have to admit it’s nice after all these years to have a little more freedom. If we get out someplace on a day trip and want to stay over we can easily.

So I live through loving my family and friends’ pets now. I’ve even thought about putting in some time at the local rescue/adoption facility.
