Loners

I answered 'yes' to all those questions.

But right now, I don't even have pets. My last cat passed away in 1998 after 19 years. I'm still celebrating petlessness.
I love a good cat. And female canines of a brilliant breed like Border Collies are the best companions. But all in due time.

I've lived in fairly rural conditions before. Spent 22 years on five acres behind a screen of trees. You couldn't see the house from the road and visa versa, and that's how I liked it.

These days, I'm in a small house in a city and prefer the easy walk to restaurants and coffee shops. I feel as though I'm more social now than at any time in my life. But that's still not saying much.
