I'm not hatin'...I'm just saying...

Caleb and I are not animal lovers...there I said it.
It's not that we wish bad things upon animals, it's
just that it is not our thing. The licking, the hair,
the smell...I just can't do it.
Here's the thing...I was jogging the other day and I saw a huge German Shepherd doing his business and then his owner bending over to pick up the big load with a plastic bag. Gross! As Caleb would say, "Did we lose a war?"
We do have a sweet spot in our heart for Sunny, my parent's dog that they have had for over 15 years. He is a Dachshund-like dog with 9 inch legs and resembles Santa's Little Helper from the Simpson's. Sunny and Ella are BFF and I can appreciate how much joy a pet can bring...but when did they acheive people status?
When Caleb's family dog Lady died, the entire family was crying at the vet, except you know who...
We're not robots...We are just people people. We have sworn to each other the only way we would get a pet would be if our kids somehow manipulated us into it swearing it "teach them responsibility."
