Oh Kerry that really was a red flag, I hope you say, love me love my animals on your profile the next time around.
Gosh I even rely on my dogs judgement on whether he likes someone or not! not so much my cats opinion (but she is female and fickle) and in fact always tries to sit on the lap of the only person in a room who does not like cats!
Have you got no dog now as I see only the cats got invited back in?
