Believe me ! YOU DON"T! I'm not a pet lover and I often wonder how some of these people can stand to have those furry creatures around their sewing all the time. I don't mean to be rude or heartless. I suppose it's a personal thing. Either you love them or you don't. I don't.
Yesterday I went sale shopping. I saw a couple of cute sweaters and both of them had an image of a cat on them. The sales person kept showing me these garments with animals on them. Finally I told her I had enough of the cats. Please, no cats.
I do know that some people do get very attached to their pets. And that's admirable, but just not for me. Now I hope you all won't hate me.
We won't hate you, but we will wonder about you!. Just kidding, if you are a pet lover, ya can't live with out them, but if you are not a pet person, ya can't live with them.
Thanks!! But I LOVE kids! And I've got them all around me most of the time! I even pull neighborhood kids off the street to tutor. If I know they're having problems with a subject, I have them visit me so I can help them (along with their parents' permission of course.) So I think I'd say they are my "pets."
