I have better conversations with one that has a tail than Y-O-U!! They actually look at M-E in the eyes when I speak to them and show something you can’t fathom empathy. These 4 legged friends will actually show affection when I need it most and just sit on my couch when I’m feeling blue. In the end, conversations may not be about understanding every word, but the feelings that truly matter, and that is where tails win every time.
