I am so glad that you have a pet. Besides being great companions, they can teach much about being responsible and compassionate toward others. A lot of people will ut on a good talk about the importance of being responsible and compassionate, but until you actually take care of an animal or another person, you may not truly understand what it means or how it can make you feel good.
Since I grew up on a farm, I've had lots of pets, both cats and dogs. As an adult, I had a couple of cats, and I've written about one of them, Winnie, in a previous entry.
My very first pet was a border collie named Scotty. My dad named him that because border collies are common in Scotland, but as a little boy, I thought he named him after the chief engineer on "Star Trek"! Anyway, Scotty and I had lots of great adventures playing ball and just wandering around the yard together. While I was little too young to really take care of him (as I did with my later pets), I did learn how to feed and water him and helped give him baths.
In what ways do you take care of your pet cat, Yoda?
I have created this site so that my son, Kieran Edward Bignell, will be able to easily find me, his father, Rob Bignell, and so that he will know that I love him, that I always have, and that I always will. Against our wishes, we have been torn from one another's lives and kept apart, separated by distance and time. But one day, Kieran will seek me. Kieran - I am here for you. Come to me.
