The universe has good news for the lost, lonely and heartsick.
The sugars are here speaking straight into your ears.
I'm Steve Allman.
I'm Cheryl strayed.
Is dear sugars, oh, dear song won't.
You please.
Share some little sweetness with me?
I check my bell rides every day oh, and the sugar you see in my way hi, Steve.
Hi, Cheryl.
So today we are the much anticipated episode on cats and dogs.
Yes, we promised it, because, you know, whenever we do those pet questions, we get a lot of mail.
And I'm sort of famous for always siding on the side of the cat.
Whoever loves the cat most to me is just always right.
I am an absolutely, you know, unrepentant cat lady.
And, as long time listeners know, grew up poor.
Many years of my life with a single mom for a big chunk of my childhood and my house ever changing as it was from, you know, my mom and dad being married to my mom being the single mother, to my mom being with my stepfather.
The one thread was that we always had animals.
And the reason we always had animals is because my mother was the person who took in every animal that she came upon.
Any animal that needed help or veterinary care or love ended up living with us.
