I'm a huge animal lover I rather be around some animals over people..and I watched cute videos of animals just being themselves.. no human setting it up..and I laughed till I cried.. only difference is I was ok inside happy tears is excitement overflowing through your eyes ..lol I've lost many many loved ones since 1982.. .. and always watching silly animals is heartwarming.. I'm sorry for your loss. I can't give advice on how to grieve.. i think that is a personal emotion each person feels from others. but I can say laughter heals all hearts..may GOD COMFORT YOU AND GUIDE YOU AND MAY JESUS HELP YOU HEAL.. amen. 11/17/2023

    Yes, people who take care of animals are often referred to as crazy. I rescued a baby squirrel after tree trimmers accidently cut down their nest.. Now I am feeding several feral cats that were abandoned in my neighborhood. It started out that I fed them so they wouldn't go after the squirrels, but now I do it because I ❤ them. Yesterday I was shocked to see my "Little Girl" eating the cats food. The cats are well fed so they didn't even seem to care.

    I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I LOVE THE AFFIRMATIONS, (I started to get a little watery eyed and almost cried), I love that he isn’t afraid to embrace his affectionate side with nature and the animals and that’s why they love him. SHOUT OUT TO YOU, SIR!! I love that he built Richard a house, I love that he welcomed the friends, and I love the gender reveal. BIGGEST BLESSINGS & WELL WISHES TO YOU, SIR!! KEEP DOING WHAT YOUR’RE DOING ❤. THE WORLD NEEDS IT!!!! THIS TRULY MADE MY DAY!! ESPECIALLY AS AN AVID ANIMAL LOVER ❤❤❤❤.

    It's do hard to leave wild life to their own defensive...I just moved from the country to town in a seniors home....and every one feeds the deer...their all so fat and a few this past season have broken their legs jumping fences with all that weight. But even I feed them...but just veg...where some people feed them pie,cakes meat bread....so I passed the word around...please only vegetables...we're killing these creatures...un-naturally. Back at my country home I gated the deer...had a heard of 30 come every nite and destroy 28 years of hours and money in my yard....and only because people down the road built a huge feed box gor them....to kill them in the fall. So much of our wildlife have to learn to live with us....but we still have to respect...their beautiful...but wild.
