Does anyone here remember how and when they learned about death? And that

13. Hi Raccoon, Hugs to those little kids of yesteryear.

I know what you mean. I was embarrassed to admit some of those animals were our pets. Our puppy Socrates, a couple of neighbors' cats and on my parent's and grandparent's big open house anniversary party, our beloved English setter, Specs. He and I were about 8.

They too are not my favorite memories, but they did shape my adult ways about pets and caring for them. My 2 current cats are chasing each other across the living room, playing king of the hill on my footstool!
