Sorry Robin. I hate to say it's true. Oh wait. Let me put it this way. NON -blonde are the one true hair colors.

Why do people have more than one pet? I realize you could ask me the same about my kids*. Now, I don't mean, like why do people have a gerbil and a puppy; or a goldfish and a dog. Of you pet owners who have more than one of the major pets (cats, and dogs at least, YmpMV), how did it shake out that way? Was it simply how you wanted things (like parents choosing to have more than one child), or were there circumstances, like...

• Each spouse having her/his own pet, prior to your becoming a couple?
  
• A friend was moving who couldn't take his dog/cat?
  
• A vet recommend a companion for your first pet?
  
• Growing up, your family always had a lot of pets, and it's something you just love?

*And in the case of my kids, mostly we simply wanted more. For both of us, part of that decision came from our own childhoods. I'm an only child, married to a person from a large family, we both agreed it was better for kids to have siblings.

I want to host an Aerosoles party, too!

Ron Howard is NOT hot.

Multiple pets can entertain each other, and thus leave you alone once in a while.

Hey everyone! I had a great housewarming party last night.

That is all.

It sucked that the last time I was at The Grove was October 2nd, though.

Know what also sucks? That you were across the street and didn't tell me.

For me, it's because two cats are really no more trouble than one. Also because I had my wonderful kittikens and my GF wanted one that bonded to her. I loves my kittones.

One of my college roomies was from out here, originally. Her folks moved to Nebraska when she was in high school, so she found family friends to stay with, because she didn't want to go. She also stayed with them if/when she left our school for weekends, etc. That family had two dogs. When one passed on, the second dog got so depressed, the family had to get another, to help her out. It was heartbreaking.

Me too! This is what I should do for easter... you can host it in home or at the store.

Dude. At the store.

I want to go.

You are so mistaken. And probably jealous. That's the only thing that makes any kind of sense. Blonde wouldn't work well with your skin tone, would it?

We got more pets because Kit Ten LOVED Artie (whom we got because his owners were going to drop him off at the shelter, and we said NO, absolutely not, we'll take him), and then when he died, she was really upset. So, we waited a couple years, and finally got her a friend. Well, that was the plan, but when we got to the shelter, we couldn't separate the sisters, so we took them both. Kind of not factoring into our decision the fact that Artie was the only person Kit Ten ever liked. And she treats the babies with disdain, but we can't give them back now. And it's not really their fault that they're not that bright.
