4 The Love Of Animals

SEPTEMBER 28, 2011

But as I began my search for a new family member at local shelters, I noticed that something was terribly wrong—I couldn’t hold the dogs I was considering adopting for more than 5 minutes before going into a sneezing convulsion. And you can definitely invest in an excellent vacuum cleaner to remove dander and hair from the carpet.

So when we adopted a human baby we knew we'd have to teach that human to avoid Violet. We weren't planning to adopt another. When we adopted them we made a commitment to care for them for the rest of their lives. I definitely don't think adding any more creatures of any kind to the house would be a good idea.

Another puzzling thing to me, as for me, the ideal number of people to live with would be somewhere between zero and one but definitely not above 1. On the other hand, there have been reports of Black-crowned Night Heron chicks being adopted by Common Terns ( source ). End of side note. But maybe that is actually a good thing.

Charles is looking down on me, Charles' soul is running, Charles is with Lars Axl Fokker (Emily's son, to whom she passed her Feline Infectious Peritonitis, which he suffered from before we euthanized him nearly a decade ago). Charles is definitely with me in spirit, but I don't know if there is a spirit.

On May 5, 2010, I adopted a two-year-old poodle/terrier mix from our local shelter, Animal Allies. When I told them Angel’s name, they said it was definitely the perfect name for her. He told me he had suffered a severe heart attack and had no idea why he had been outside by his van at that hour! My name is Jan.
