You are so sweet!!!! I really like your idea of starting a savings in case something happens to me. I do put $50 a month per animal in an account in lieu of medical insurance for them as I think that is so much wiser but if it isn't used I do roll part of it over for the next year. I think I will roll it over into a "In case I die" account instead of spending part...not as much fun but probably much smarter!!! Waggin' Tails in The Dog Park, Deanna

Big round ears & short pointy ears + Apple & Fox My sweet Deanna - you amaze me! You are such an angle to all mankind. I love that about you that you take care of your animals just like your human babies (me too). When I adopt a pet, they are my family and my responsibility to ensure that they have the best life possible and that they always know they are loved and cherished. I also make sure that I have the funds to take care of them if they are ill. Just like I did when my babies were born, I would scrub toilets if I had to if my girls needed something. I also have a small savings account put aside for them in case they out live me.
