We have dogs and cats in the house. If they all disappeared tomorrow, it would be a relief. Although, other members of the household seem to be quite attached.
The older I get, and thus the more I have to take care of them, the less I like pets.
If I had to pick, I'd pick dogs. They have more personality, and you can train them to **** in the nieghbor's yard.
I have no desire to clean poop and urine out of a litter box at all.
