106. I also know how devastating

to lose a pet.

We've had dogs and parakeets and it's heartbreaking to say the least. I think animals are so much more deserving of our love than many people we have to interact with.

I worry about our boy, he's six years old and I am 70 so keeping my fingers crossed that we make it together. I know he'll be well taken care of if the worst happens but it still is a concern.
