Pets?

I have a new pet, I hope you like him...

Just kidding. He's not really mine to keep. He was pretty cute, though!

Actually, I have never had any pets. I don't feel that the companionship benefits I might derive from having animals in my home would make up for the time commitments (cleaning, vacation arrangements, etc.) and financial responsibilities (food, vet bills, etc.) of pet ownership.

So for now I keep a few plants instead.
