Growing up I did not form an attachment to pets, as they did not last long around my house. They were soon, hauled off or given away. When I had my daughters, they had lot of pets come and go and they loved their animals, attachments did not seem to happen. My grandsons who reside with me had given to them, a puppy in 2003, which we named Bella a chi/mix, and although they loved her, I still felt no attachment.

Those were very tense months as they all became ill and we held and fed them, and we tried so hard to care for them and I fell in love with each one, we gave them all names, and as each one died, buried them and cried. I had given up hope and my daughter fed and bottled fed the baby (the runt),
