Heartbroken pet loversDear Annie: My wife and I are in our mid-70s and have no children. However, we have had pets, mostly cats, for all of our 50 years together. About 13 years ago, we bought an 8-week-old female Boston terrier puppy. A few months later a friend called us about a female Boston terrier that he could not keep and offered it to us. We took it on a trial basis, and since it got along well with our dog (and our two cats), we ended up keeping it. We loved them both like they were our

Prodigal parentsDear Annie: My husband and I are in our late 50s and have been married for 26 years. I have had the privilege of not needing to hold an outside job since I married, allowing me to be a stay-at-home mom and raise our kids, who are now grown and out of the house. My husband and I have always been careful with our money, eating out perhaps once a month. We are easily entertained at home. His parents, who have now passed on, lived like paupers.
