I completely understand, because I've done exactly that - had a complete breakdown in a shelter because I felt so damned bad for all of them and wanted to take them all home. I am definitely fearful of the shelter, because I can't take them all home and I really do fall in love with animals very quickly. All of my pet friends have been rescued from the street or were originally sick foster animals from the Humane Society. It's best for me to just stay away, because I really can't say no. They haunt me. Right now my dog is climbing up my lap to give my face big kissy licks and it's amazing. My pet friends are the best part of my day. Two of them are getting on in years, although both are very healthy, and I just completely fall apart at even the thought that they won't be around forever. Our pets are the best part of us. The thing that really gets me is imagining what my pet's lives were like before they entered my life - were they abused, abandoned, did someone care about them, love them, treat them well, miss them? Are they happier with me? Do they miss their old life? Do they know how much I love them and need them in my life?
