    You're the kind of people who need animals.

    Really.

    Get you some.

    rodents don’t really count as pets to me

    We had guinea pigs for a while.

    Don't do this.

        So sorry, LD and family. I'm glad you got more time with her at the end than you expected, but I know it's still tough to deal with. Dogs are the best.

        I was only joking

          Very sorry LD and family. Never easy. Glad you had good time with her. If it gives you a chuckle, imagine if Dakota had a chihuahua in the house to chase.

            Weird. 1st night in 15 years where there wasn’t a dog in the house.

            Weird is one word for it.

            Do you have any other animals in the house?

            Nope. We are going to be taking on one of Karla’s clients’ chihuahua when she moves to London next month, but a rodents don’t really count as pets to me.

            If you do decide to get a real dog, may I suggest...

              I had a really, really hard decision this week. I have no house dog for the first time in 30 years. My daughter sent me a text...She knew a family that was moving and could not take their Sheltie with them. Would I be interested? She sent a pic...Dog was an adult sable & white.

              Y'all, we just gone through some bad arthritis and dementia issues with our old Sheltie. It's time consuming and ties you down, along with being a problem during the wife's procedures and surgeries. Even a healthy dog demands time.

              So...No doggie. 😥 We do have a black cat ( Damn, how have I fallen this low? 😱) puttering about the house. At least he thinks he's a dog...But he's a lot less trouble.

              Man, but was I tempted...

                I hear ya. There’s a part of me that would like to take a year or two without any pets to have to negotiate our schedules with.

                But, if that Chihuahua is going to mess with our timing, then I should have a real dog in the house.

                  @Jolly that’s sad, but realistic. Shelties are kind of hard headed, though. Maybe best to raise them from a pup.

                    LOL, the wife that has been swearing that she is done with dogs since Blaze died 4 years ago and has been dreading Dakota’s passing was putting up some of Dakota’s stuff, saying “Little Girl (the Chihuahua) can’t use this, but we can save it for our next big dog… By the way, there’s an 8 month old Lab mix that needs rescued…”

                      Calling bullshit on that. I bet there are either three or four primates living in your house at the moment.

                      They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.
