[Ericka]

Debby I am so amazed that you were afraid of dogs to the point you needed to be desensitized. I'm not too keen on dogs myself therefore I stick to the cane. I was bitten as a child and I'm not too fond of them unless they are a guide dog. I have to admit, I deserved to be bitten. After all it was stupid to be throwing decorator rocks over a fence to shut the dog up when I was 4/5 years old!  Now I don't mind a dog as long as they go home with their owners at the end of the day. I think it's all the maintenance I'm not too fond of that stops me from considering a guide dog now. As much as I would like to be able to converse with cats from my past and apologize to the dog I threw stones at, there's probably some things I don't want to know. We will have to see won't we?

> Hi Erica, yes indeed, I think about my Gadget, (a cat I had when I was a very small girl), Nicole, and Sammy, aka Tomcat.  But I'm one of those rare people because I like dogs, too.  Probably basically because I have had Seeing Eye dogs since 1981.  Before that I was afraid of unfamiliar dogs, and actually had to go through desensitization therapy to get over that fear.  I did it because of my third dog Nat.  I was afraid that my fear would affect her.  Amazing what we do for those we love.  (Smile).  Anyway, I'm going about this in a very long rambly way, sorry.  God created animals, and I do believe that he gave them the ability to love, just as he gave us the ability to love them.  I can't imagine Heaven without animals.  Of course this is all speculation, but I wonder if we will be able to talk with these animals, and they able to talk with us? Just a thought.  (Smile).    Debby
