I've always had multiple pets so it seems strange NOT to have them. Whenever I'm in a pet free home I feel like something's missing.
That being said, I get so angry when the wrong people adopt pets. My cousin works like 14 hour days on the upper east side for Morgan Stanley, and last year she got a puppy. The thing was alone in her apartment all. day. long. She had a dog walker come in occasionally, but her neighbors kept complaining that all it did was bark. And she'd yell at it when it went to the bathroom on her floor, like the poor thing knew better. Finally my grandmother offered to watch it, and now it's sort of permanently hers, hehe.
The kids I babysit for keep asking their mom for a dog, and I pray to God she never gives in. That's all they need..
The morning star always gets wonderful bright the minute before it has to go --doesn't it?
