Kim,
I have 4 cats and 1 dog. My dog, Delilah, is probably the best for this comfort. I can always count on her being there, ready to give me loves and kisses (yes, I taught her to give kisses!) hahaha
The cats are hit or miss, but Tom's princess, Gracie, will snuggle on me if he's not around. She gets all up on me and then eventually ends up on her back with her chubby belly hanging out!
Animals are such a comfort, they know when you are feeling down and what to do to make you feel better. Thank God for them, I don't know where I'd be without all of my babies.
