Her name is Pumpkin because of her color. And you're right, the bond is very close. She's as familiar to my own moods as I am to hers.

Impressive name and what a connection. 18 years is really a long time. So i could imagine the understanding and chemistry that has been built over these years.

You're right. It's amazing the kind of connection we can build with an animal over the years. We don't speak the same language but somehow we understand each other.

How about you, have you ever had an animal companion?

True. Animals can make and have human friends. For now I have not had anyone. But my sister have a lovely German shepherd called Lion. So friendly to all family members. I think my first pet in the near future would be a dog.

Dogs are fantastic creatures. Cats and dogs are so different and make great companions. Dogs--you'll never find a love that's more pure. They bond with you in amazing ways.
