IF I DIDN'T HAVE A DOG OR CAT
I would not have a confidential confidant who listens to my deepest, darkest secrets and loves me in spite of them.
I would not have an in-house comedian who makes me laugh out loud.
I would not be greeted at the door with a wagging tail and a squeaky toy.
I would not have a non-electric security system.
I would have to stop sewing to fix dinner and I would have to listen to "Not this again!".
