Family Pets

I had dogs.

Dobermans and a black lab once.

They all died and it was depressing.

My sugar had a cat. He was run over.

I may have even had a fish at one time.

In 3rd grade I think I had a hamster that got hurt on his wheel and died. Sad again.

My babes want so desperately to have pets. Pets of every kind. Every sort. Of every fancy.

And don't get me wrong, I don't hate animals.

But I do hate how they poop. And smell. And require me to keep an extra living thing alive in our home. It's hard enough keeping all of us alive now as it is.

And we've freaking had pets despite my adamant not wanting of them. Fish, tortoise, geckos, lizards.

So for our little family, the odds of getting a family pet now are pretty low.

But that doesn't stop my babes from begging, constantly!

"Can we have a puppy? Can we have a snake? Can we have bunny? Can we have a fish? Can we have guinea pig? Can we have a gecko that we can actually hold?"

Oh yeah, these little buggers already have 2 reptiles living in our home, pooping in our home, requiring our energy in our home. And they want more!
