Heres another story that begins with "when I was growing up" (or something similar).
Growing up, I never had many pets at all for a long time. My family apparently owned a couple cats when I was a wee child (2/3), and the home videos obviously show me there playing with them, but I don't remember them at all. The first pets I do remember having were fish, and while neat, they were also kinda boring, and the fish tank exploding all over the house wasn't all the great of an experience.
After moving into our current house, and being there for 11 years, we have acquired first a cat (Chloe) our black lab (Jackson) and another cat we adopted (Peanut). Each has been an amazing pet.
I find pets like cats and dogs to be an amazing thing to have, I would think that any family would want one around. They are great companions, never complain, will always have the time to listen to you, and all you gotta do is clean up after them and feed them. The rest is just play time, or for cats, sleep time.
I'm definitely a cat guy though. Don't get me wrong, I love my black lab more than anything, but cats are just something else. I like how calm and lazy they always are, how hyper they can be when they want to play, and just how fluffy they are.

So, are you a dog or cat person? Do you like pets? Ever had any yourself?
I don't have any pets because I'm lazy and don't want to clean up after them and poor and thus don't want to have to buy them food, too, those freeloaders.
ReplyDeleteI like both cats and dogs, though, as long as they aren't mine.
I'm a huge fan of owning a dog, It's like having a toddler armed with knives that doesn't trust anyone but you. Which sounds crazy, but ends up being kind of great. However I can't have one up here due to the move back and forth so often, and the restrictions of Off campus housing.
