Dear@Carlachris, Hold onto your pets. When the world turns sour, pets love us as we are. I have kangaroos every day in my yard. I sometimes wonder if they can sense whether I am sad or not. It is nice knowing that they have my whole yard to feed on. My house is small, my yard is big, so I have lots of grass. Developers keep chopping down the forest where the roos live, so in providing grass, I am contributing to the welfare of the critters. This makes me happy.
