jaej ... I think you're right ... I've got a feeling that even a chia pet wouldn't last long with you ... stick with the pet rock ... or I can ship you this bassett hound puppy and it will guarentee you'll never want a pet to take care of!!! She's worse than having a baby, only sharper teeth!
Eight cats (with their very own website, no less...) and a 20-gallon aquarium that currently contains five blackskirt tetras and a somewhat lazy algae eater.
When I finish renovating my study I'm adding a second fishtank and acquiring some goldfish.
