I believe that having my pet has helped me so much. In the past, I was living in a so called Mental Health apartment and they refused to allow me to have my Cat. I fought hard and even met with the people who run the program and they were clueless. Finally, being the determined person that I am, I found a place by myself and prayed to have my baby Zelda back with me. She had been staying with my friend, because they would not let me have her. Well, now I have her and I am soooooooooooooo Blessed!
At this time I don't have a pet with my commute to work and work I am away from my place some times up to 14 hours would not be fair to the pet. But I do plan to get a dog or cat again from one of the shelters.
