We call them our ?fur babies? but they are more like our ?fur children.? Whether it?s a dog, cat, horse, cow, goat, pot-bellied pig, guinea pig, hamster, gerbil, whatever - many of us become doting parents over these beloved animals that we care for over the years. That is why it?s extremely difficult when they die and we must say goodbye, but I believe they live on in our memories forever.
