I do not think you are nuts whatsoever at all. They are my children. I play them classical music and spoil them rotten like all animals deserve. :)
Oops. I mean to write: "I love animals also. They are my children." I left out the first part.
If you are nut so am I. I have 2 Dachshunds! I won't even go into how spoiled they are. One is sitting in my lap as we speak watching the computer.
