Heh. Yes, they are my drug of choice, and my daughter is a terrible enabler! They ALWAYS make me smile and feel happy. And I know it will be utterly tragic when they die (many yrs from now!), but you can't have the joy without the sadness. I can still get teary thinking about my wee budgie, Merlin, and he's been dead for 22yrs! This little lady should be with us for at least 30yrs!
