THank you all for your words, and your stories...and last year we did add a sweetie to our home, so now I am not alone, Nicki and I comfort one another... and by the way, Travis came to us from the middle of a 4 lane street also!!! It's the ones we save or get from a shelter (nicki) that seem to really apprecate us so...and take right over as owners! :)

Life Requires Assembly and we all know how THAT goes!
