Two cats, one male and one female. The male cat as I mentioned in Rain Man's thread is a great cat and loves people but is especially close to my wife. That cat is on her lap probably 75% of the time she is sitting down.

When I retire, I will get a dog. I would get one now, but I'm not home enough to be its primary care giver and I don't want the dog interfere with the thing she has going with the cat.

Yeah, small dogs kind of suck. We have two below us. I want a lab or golden retriever, so living in an apartment would be tough.

Especially since apartments have like a 20 lb weight limit. That's a small lab!

My dad has a black lab mix and a golden retriever. I'd want his black lab mix. Sweet as can be, but a master escape artist. Not sure exactly what she's mixed with, but she's smaller than a normal lab.

I also seriously considered tropical fish a few years ago, but satisfied that itch (at least temporarily) by learning everything I could about them, planning my aquarium, etc. After I had done all of that I didn't feel the need to actually experience the whole process. Besides I wouldn't think of fish as pets so much a cross between a science experiment and living art. Maybe a fish lover will come along and convince me otherwise.

beagles are under 20 pounds

You should just grow a catfish or something. Science experiment, art, and blackened cajun

Did you count that dead rabbit, or it just playing possum?

With the loss of Jupiter, we still have O.J., our 15 year-old tabby. He's a sweetie and a deep thinker, the philosopher of the family. That doesn't mean that he's above chasing a belt across the room, though.

I beg to differ....
