And I say this to you, Haunted as a friend who enjoys your company...a human who can articulate emotions and wants you to know that I care:)

Oh God, here I go again expressing my opinion and probably gonna piss people off again, but...
When I buy a pet, I wait for the one to come to me, so I think the pets that I have chosen have also chosen me. Ok, stay with me on this. Your wife chose you just as you chose her or whatever order it happened for you guys. Your children, however, do not have any choice in the deal. They didn't chose you and in most cases, you didn't choose them. However, the bond and the love is almost indescribable. As weird as it may seen, some of us actually feel that way about our pets, especially if human children were not an option.
BTW, I got a new puppy. BenGee lived to be 17, so I bought the same breed again. He's wonderful.
So, blah blah blah, hope ya don't hate me for saying all of this.
