"Pope Francis has suggested people who choose to have pets over children are acting selfishly.
Today ... we see a form of selfishness," he told the audience. "We see that some people do not want to have a child.
"Sometimes they have one, and that's it, but they have dogs and cats that take the place of children.
The practice "is a denial of fatherhood and motherhood and diminishes us, takes away our humanity", he added.

Ours was at 3-2, is currently at 1-2, but thanks to Karla’s work we often have weeks at 5-1.
I swear that between Finley, the dogs that we board, and being a guy closer to 5o than 40 that 35% of my day is taken up with pee or poo…
