I look closely at some of the pictures of friends and family and even strangers and while at first glance, they look fine, a closer look at them shows signs of a lot of stress and even fear. It makes my heart sad to see that in the faces of loved ones, even in total strangers.

I want to tell them that there is nothing to fear. I want to tell them that life should be savored and enjoyed, and that death is only the beginning.

Have faith people. Enjoy your lives. Don't worry, be happy.

Stay out of dark alley's.



This is my cat Bandit on my printer:

Tell me you see fear in my face and it will surprise me. Stress I imagine I have plenty.

I try to savor every second, each is precious. What happens, happens.

Thanks. That's really comforting. Same to you. . I LOVE animals :) They make all the difference.

Your face is very nice. I do see a bit of worry but it is coupled with a sharp mind that finds solutions. I see mischief and playfulness, and a little sadness that you keep hidden for the most part.

I need to get a dawg! (cuz I'm allergic to cats)

Cats are comforting. They know how to relax. It has been discovered that a cat's purr puts forth a vibration that aids in a more rapid healing of injured bones.

I love to get a cat purring and put them on my knees when they are hurting, or on a twisted ankle.

No fear I got to have faith and move forward, but plenty of stress for sure! My pet does help to ease the pain though, they live in the now.

Stress is the cousin of fear. Sometimes it can be a positive thing, but constant stress is the major cause of disease. It is important to relax and rest in pure faith.

I have three dogs. They are very good company. Unconditional love they give.

A hairless cat might work but they are frightful and funny looking.

Yeah, but if it scratches me, hairless or not, I swell up! With a burning itch at the site. It is too bad, cuz I like cats a lot.

I never de-claw my cats. I consider it to be mutilation and cruel.

With cats, you have to respect them and give them their space and be gentle with them, but when you have as many as I do, occasionally I do feel a claw now and then.

You have three dogs. How many cats? I see two in your pictures.

SIX. Two males and four females.

Criminy, you running an animal shelter! Hope they are all spayed and neutered.

Yep, every one of them. That's why I can't afford to have any more. I even neuter the males because if I don't they will wander the neighborhood making kittens and those kittens end up on my doorstep.

This will alleviate much of the stress. Beautiful cats all in a row!
See how happy they all are! Room for expansion.

Wow I need one of those.!!

One of my friends who does a lot of work at a shelter shared that one
with me as she knows that I really like cats too!



Actually though we are currently catless for a while (allergies related)...
