Good for you Betty..it is about time you rested! LOL

No pets here. My kids had a dog when they were growing up..a bad poodle..turned me right off dogs.
I was given a rescue cat by my daughter once a long time ago...for company she said....after I'd had it about a year it went out and never came back. The hair on the furniture and carpet and clothes drove me nuts...plus it used to paw me and walk around in circles on the bed to wake me up too early in the morning. So not a cat person.

My son gave me a fancy fish and aquarium last year..I went away on vacation and left long term food in the aquarium and it was dead when I came back. I also have had two Beta fish in the past..both dead...I am just not meant to have pets...although I sometimes think about it..but then I see the drawbacks. Maybe someday I will try a small dog. So many people say to me that I should have one for company. My other son has a wonderful little dog I looked after last year for a week. So many others seem to get such joy from their pets...but I also hear the stories of frustration with them too...you know the digging up the gardens..chewing things..messing in the house..etc..

Gita...another artist..boy, you all have such talent here. Would love to see your photos of your paintings.

Ruby...speaking of Shepherds..this is my eldest sons dog..they have three different breeds..this one and two little ones
This one is a sweet quiet one..his name is Deacon..taken in 2005 at my son's home..
