I regularly donate cat and dog food to one of our local shelters here and,one time, they asked me if I wanted to come back and see the cats and dogs. I told them "No" because I know, from past experience, that I get all choked up and start getting "misty" because there are just so many of them and I can't take every single one and give them a loving home. Heck, I can't even go by the cages at the PetSmart for the same reason.

I have to leave the room or change the channel when the SPCA advertisement comes on that has the song by Sarah Mclachlan "In the Arms of an Angel".

I have three growing feral kittens that I've adopted and brought into the house. I had another, Mitzi, who lived with me for 17 years and got me through my wife's death from diabetes about 10 years ago; I had to Mitzi to sleep just before Thanksgiving when all of her organs started failing. It still hurts to think about it, but my other ones .. Gracie, Rhiannon, and Sera-Michael .. are helping me to get past the loss.
