One of my good buddies Francis who was a black exotic shorthair cat and the most handsome well mannered cat I've ever been around had to be put down several months back. He was roughly 15 years old. This cat loved to cuddle and was truly one that attended the sick with his very sympathetic and quiet ways. But then again I have two Persians besides ages 13 and 12 that I've had since they were kittens and they're little plush pillows as well. Very calm cats. Winston the blue/gray persian acts like a person and is socialable to all and afraid of none. You can be moving furniture in the same room and he'll be the acting official on where it should land (or shouldn't).
Lola on the other hand is one spoiled mini schnauzer. Everyone says "and who did that?" so I'm busted. She's cute tho that's for sure. Has to lose some weight tho now as she's quite a bundle for me to lift/carry tho I shouldn't have to ~ she just likes it at times.
Dog beaches and dog walks with friends are a blast for me. It's where I feel free myself as I live vicariously seeing the dogs run~ they are so playful and elegant at it!
