I have a cat, her name is Aaby (that is the proper spelling) I named her after Soren Aaby Kierkegaard. He is the father of existentialism which espouses the idea that we are all alone, truly alone. Any way I found her when she was about two weeks old in 1996 the same month I was first Dx. She has been with me ever since. I love her and she loves me...

I have 2 dogs, Scootie and Bella and 2 cats ( the ex and I are fighting over) Pad and Sir Raven. They are all that I have as far as family goes. Unlike asshole people, they accept and love me unconditionally!

I have a chocolate point siames cat named Lucy and a chocolate lab named Duke. I love them so much and they are my best companions. Lucy is alway lying in my lap or next to me and Duke is always at my feet.They both give me so much joy.

I have a golden named jenny. She's a rescue dog and she was abused for the first three years of her life. She's only recently become less nutty than me.

I have a cat named Poe, as in Edgar Allen. He is almost 4 yrs. old and gives me a reason to get up every morning because he is hungry. Lately he has been peeing in the bathroom sink! Don't know what that's about but do know that sometimes he's as wacky as me! lol.
