Does anyone have a special pet story they would like to share? It was very touching having read what birddog and peg wrote about their beloved family members.
Thanks lardy100 !!

they enter your life and heart and destroy both when they pass away...you think you could never go through it again, but, we all do and a new friend is made...........and the circle continues!
Our capacity to love

Carloin, that is because we have such an enormous capacity to love an animal that otherwise probably would survive a horrible existance. What we get in return is something that stays with us all of our lives. When that pet passes on, the sadness of losing a family member pains us and we swear we will never go through that again. Then suddenly, another precious creature enters our lives needing a home and someone who will love them. And so the cycle begins again. Yes, every memory is precious and for every animal that comes into our lives, there is one less roaming the streets aimlessly in search of someone to love them.
The first dog I brought home

We lived in a little town in Massachusetts and I was oh, maybe 6 years old back in 1961. I remember walking around the neighborhood and I saw this really big 3 legged dog in the street. (Keep in mind what "really big" means to a 6 year old. He was as tall as me.) I had no fear of animals, and in no time, he and I became friends. He and I walked home, and I had my arm draped over his neck cuz we were pals! I asked Mommy if we could keep him and don't remember much after that except that we did find his real home and his family was happy.

At GameColony.com you can play games of skill only -- play for free or play for $prizes!.
According to the statutes of most states in the United States, gambling is defined as: "risking something of value upon the outcome of a contest of chance". (Also see No Gambling!). The skill (as opposed to chance) is predominant in games of skill. Playing games of skill for $prizes, therefore, has nothing to do with gambling as it is not a contest of chance -- the more skillful player will win far more often. The chance element of a 'gamble' is either insignificant or missing. When players compete in tournaments or games of skill for $prizes -- it is "competitive entertainment" rather then "gambling". The more skilled winner will always win more matches, tournaments and $prizes.
