Family Pet

I had this conversation with Pieper today while we were out taking bids:

Pieper: "Can I have a pet cat?"
Me: "No, I don't like cats."
Pieper: "Can I have another pet?"
Me: "No."
Pieper: "What animal does Dad like that I can have for a pet?"
Me: "Dad doesn't really like animals."
Pieper: "Then if I can"t have a cat that's alive can I have a dead one?"

How was I supposed to respond to that?

Oh come on Steph- why not? It would be low maintenance! A little stinky maybe, but a good practice pet :)

That is HILARIOUS!!!!!! My neighbor feels the same way about cats. He always says the best kind of cat is a euthenized cat! How sad! Just bring her over to our house for a day and she can get her pet fill. She can play with our cat, dog, bird, geckos, and frogs! Plus Ella would LOVE to play with her! :) p.s. It was fun to see you at the mall the other day! You look so great!

Get her one of those cats that purr and move their heads that are in the toy section at every store. That is so funny.
