I like the idea

that pets are "practice babies."

Have you ever heard of this concept?

Though I'm nowhere near wanting to have a child yet, I do kind of want my own pet(s).

In my own place.

Hee.

I want to pick a little fluffy monster.

I guess this thought was spurred by visiting 3 animal adoption centers yesterday.

Bad idea.

Certain critters catch your eye and just latch onto your heart!

So here's to you, big tabby with the steady stare;

One day, you and your cohorts will have homes.

I will own all of you.

Only, not.

Vet bills are expensive and I don't want to be "the crazy cat lady."

Much.

[dogs are acceptable too. i just first gravitate toward the felines, my own kind. mrrrow]
