We have one rabbit, very spoiled. He has a nice hutch which is supposed to be for keeping a rabbit outside but..he’s spoiled so stays in the house. He runs around outside the hutch each day, which is OK with me since he’s potty trained. He also has an outdoor playpen, and takes us for walks on his leash.
We have a fish, too, and the damn thing won’t die. My mother in law keeps giving us fish, which live way too long, and when they die she replaces them. I refuse to clean the tank, so she does that when she comes over. She knows I don’t like the fish, but buys them for the kids who ignore them.
I’d love to have a big dog, like a doberman, but my husband isn’t in love with the idea. He says I can get a doberman when he can get an apartment. Then, he changed his mind and said I can get a doberman if I agree to name it Cock. Even the kids would have to call it Cock. I’m trying to decide if that’s something I can live with. Anyway, I’d rather not have a dog for a few more years. I think when the kids are older I’ll have more time and energy to devote to a dog, while right now I’m kind of run ragged. Besides, this gives me time to try to wear down my husband’s defenses.
