Not so new to DU though. I am now realizing how the groups of DU can ease people rather than just only whip up emotions of politics.
Yes, this is my oversight that I missed in my early DU times. I find myself reading groups more than news now, which means maybe I am figuring the DU community out finally.
I would ask that this group indulge me with my pictures on first post. The Golden Pic is Ethyl, who passed at 16 years old and a mere 2 weeks after the pic of her holding hands with my 30 y/o challenged daughter.
The other pic is of our Dear Stripe, who we brought home today (cremains) and put him to rest.
I am oddly calm today about him being home, I was very distraught when we lost him. I still miss him, but I feel now his body is where it should be.
Long story short, I feel after reading some posts. That this may be the place I can post and show my family's love of our "zoo" ,
1 kitty, a golden retriever who is being trained as service dog to my daughter,, a Dal, who is smarter than the Golden, and a mix rescue,who is the best snuggler ever.
We are truly a pet family.
Thanks for listening,
Koz

We have cats & dogs too. We just took our old lady dog (min. 18, but who knows) to the vet yesterday to be put to sleep...kidney failure diagnosed a year ago. That was her second euthanasia trip. But she decided she'd eat the $$$a/d, so she's still here. Our vet is going to stop taking us seriously!
we were there with Stripe! I'll not bore the group with all the details,,lol I'll smile at the memories your post brought to us.

(38,557 posts)and I'm paraphrasing...
We get to a point in our lives when we don't see our parents every day. We don't see our kids every day. We don't see our siblings every day.
We do see our pets every day.
We love them and they love us.
Joy all over the place!!
Thanks for joining us. You and your fur family.
we love our furries as much( or maybe more) than family,, other than our Tess of course..
