When I moved from one part of the US to another part 4 and a half years ago when I had to quit working, one of the few possessions that I had room for besides my computer and TV set was my dog. Unfortunately I had to have him put to sleep about a year later and my friends felt sorry for me and gave me one of the outside cats, Bob the one with no tail that I post a pic of on another thread. Another one of them, Runt Grunt also adopted me because I take walks with cat treats in my pocket. LOL They still live outside but they don't stray far from my door. I also have a cockatiel that is 5 years old that I was told was a male but he/she started laying eggs about a year after I got him/her. His/her name is Java (from the coffee, NOT Sun java).
