I'm alergic to cats.
Unless I'm around them for...three days, then I get over it.
So dogs, (I live with four right now), but....have you ever tried to keep the vaccuuming up for four dogs? Or tried to walk out of the house wearing black?
Ha! I say, Ha!
Can't pet fish, birds always hit the notes that drill into my head, snakes don't do anything, hamsters won't guard the house, ...
So, I'd rather have a pony.
