A number of years ago I enjoyed "Born Free," wildlife cinema at its best. The 1966 film won numerous awards and was based on the 1960 book penned by Joy Adamson. Joy and her husband, Kenya game warden, George Adamson, raised Elsa, a lion cub, and eventually returned her to the wild.

Thanks so much for posting Jim. I grew up with smoking parents and I do think it had something to do with my smoking years later - maybe genetically, maybe environmental or both. I think it felt like it was something I could bond with my mom and brother - and other people too. How high school, I know! But human nature (mine anyway) demanded acceptance and approval and somehow I felt I got that by smoking.
Thank goodness I quit as I was trying to have a family (i think quitting is why i finally got pregnant!) and I have not gone back. It was very freeing not to feel dependent in that way and I learned to supplement my human need for approval in other ways. Somehow I am getitng it from my kids (for now anyway!)
As well, my husband and I did smoke when we first got our dog emmitt and it did used to bother me that he was sitting there breathing it all in. Luckily both my husband and I quit and he too is now a smoke free pet - 9 years old next week!
All the best, sue
