Author notes
In a family full of animals, kids & 40 years of all kinds of pets, is there anything more memory stimulating than to remember all of those moments of fun, glee, romping companionship that never ever withheld devotion?

Those few words made my heart ache for all my furry friends that were so much a part of our family. You have selected such effective language to recreate the whole experience tucked away in our memories. It would be a delightful read at any time but the holidays are so much about remembering - it has a special significance.
