Happy Friday, my pet

Here are a few stories about household pets making the news.

Of course there is the dog fighting charges against Michael Vick. I've been surprised at the universality of the outrage and the real emotion behind it. Top of the list is 89 year old Senator Robert Byrd of Tennessee. You can watch his very dramatic floor speech here.

Seems there is a cat who knows when you are going to die. And it crawls right up to you while you pass away. I find this story fascinating. Apparently this cat in a nursing home has curled up next to patients who soon died 25 times! Unless we are witnessing feline murder - something truly remarkable is happening.

The famous dog that helped try to rescue people from the fallen towers after 9-11 has died of cancer. Maybe it can serve as a reminder of those PEOPLE still suffering medically from that day. Day trip to Cuba anyone?
