I made a post yesterday, in response to IMR, and who knows why it didnt[' show up, only the smily post, so I will post it again. IMR, I said and will say again, I took often forget things, as they say, you can[t teach an old dog new tricks, ( in my case, an old feline...) Ok, now to see if I can remember my post, it went somthing like this,
In the not too distant future, you are given one of two choices, which one would you rather choose.
You can have a family, children or a significent other, but you are not allowed to own any pets, this includes fish, reptiles, birds, feline, canine, horses, cows, sheep, goats, rats, mice, gerbils, hamsters, guineas, frogs, etc, etc, no animals of any kind, You can have your Pleo only, no other robot form either. This is for the rest of your life. You may visit animals in zoos, but you can not own one at all.
Your othe choice is to own all the animals you want the rest of your life, any type of animal you desire, BUT, You can not ever have a lasting relationship of any kind that is good, no husband, no wife, no boyfriend or girlfriend, no children, no adopted children . You can have freinds, but never the one on one most people have. ( Of course if you are too young now this probably wont mean much to you, but in a few years it will) So it comes down to if you had to choose, would you rather be with animals as your best friends, or other Homo Sapiens?

I have two grown children and a loving husband, but I would choose my fur babies as they are more needy and I choose them.
