Earth Angels

Where would I be, what would I have been without animals in my life? I have a picture of me as an infant in a stroller, and a black, furry cat lying at my feet -- my first "Kitty". Animals -- mostly horses and ponies and cats and kittens -- were always a great comfort to me, as well as an escape from an unhappy family life. I always felt better after stroking my cat or riding my pony through the woodsy trails. I think that I also learned from animals that watching and observing was a safer way of moving through life than being loud or confrontive. (Not that I don't also have those attributes -- "Oh boy, not you...," my husband would say.) So they are angels without wings to me, and for sure they have a special place in heaven.
