It is so nice to hear from everyone. I am really pleased you all share your love with fur babies. My husband and I have no children, so my babies are the center of my world. People do not even ask anymore if my husband and I are going to have children, they see how attached we are to our babies. Animals make life worth while, no matter who you are, what you have done, or what you look like your pets will love you unconditionally, it is like animals are just like God. They are loyal, forgiving, and will always be there for you. That is why in my opinion animals are gifts from God.

Check out a poem I have posted to my blog that I found online.

I've loved animals ever since I was a kid. I was brought up in the country. We had chickens, goats, a cow, cats, dogs, pigs, and just about every kind of animal you can own without a license that's smaller than a donkey.

In my older years, I grew closer to cats than any other animal. I have an interesting talent for charming even skiddish cats so that they would even come when I call. Cats just love me and I can't help but pet one when I see it.

What did everyone think about my videos? I just started doing video tributes as just a hobby. I am still kind of green right now until I learn my way around windows movie maker. If you watch my videos on YouTube and you have trouble watching them, for example: if they pause every few seconds, then try back later the website gets busy sometimes. I have to do that sometimes to be able to watch videos all the way through with out interruptions, of course I will be posting videos here as well.

I saw one of the videos.. showing some of the rescue workers, I guess maybe during katrina, rescuing some animals.. Reminded me of some show I saw about some animal rescue place, that spent a lot of times in the affected areas, rescuing animals.. and some of the stories about the reunions of those rescued animals, with their owners who had been displaced so many miles away.

Always glad to hear about their success stories.. but I'll say it again.. I leave town, my dogs comin' with me

LateNight you sound like a great person. I fell so fortunate I did not have direct experience with hurricane katrina. If it were me I would also take my pets, and if I could not I would stay.

>when given a choice between their own personal safety or abandoning their household pets

That doesn't make sense, when does that scenario ever come up?

I think they meant "when given a choice between personal endangerment or abandoning their household pets..."

Also, this is a bad law. The US government should not be in the business of helping people that choose to endanger themselves at all, especially if they choose to do so for their pet.
