Now you may understand why I'm no lover of animals. They don't last 5 minutes.

Well, you have to chose your animals carefully. People who buy parrots had better put something in their will about who will get the animal, because most of them will outlive you.

Our oldest cat died this year. She was 18.

I think hamsters only have a lifespan of 2-3 years at best. Rats live a little bit longer and make great pets. (They won't walk off the edge of the table like a hamster or a mouse will.)

Animals are now banned in this house... well until the day Dan gives me his "melt your heart" look and says "please bastard, can I have it?".

It was funny the first few times, now I'm used to it. It's something women have been calling me for years, so I don't mind it from my boy.... who am I kidding

*skipping TOTALLY over the nickname part*

He will indeed give you that look. Mine came in a pet shop, with two tiny girls and two even tinier hamsters. The first thought I had at that moment was "great...get the 'death talk' ready." *sigh* We'd been stupid enough to take them into the shop to get some treats for the much longer lived cats and dog. We walked out with two hamsters and all the accessories...and the stuff for the cats and the dogs. Daddy muttered for a long time.
