Pets

For the longest time Nat has wanted a pet, as long as it isn't a fish, it doesn't seem to matter, just another living thing in the house. First it was a dog, which is fine by mean probably the leading candidate to move into our house. Then she wanted a guinea pig, or a chinchilla. Before we got married she had expressed interest in an iguana, wanted to put a leash on it and go for a walk

Yesterday was something I never expected to hear from her. She was at Petco, and got into a conversation with someone who worked there, and asked her what kind of pet would do good with a toddler in the house.

The girl told her to buy a rat, that's a right a rat, claimed it was housebroken and trainable, and it could sit on your shoulder!!! Well I had to put my foot down and say no rats in the house. I mean if we found a rat odds are Nat would have wanted me to exterminate it so why on earth would I want to actually get one as a pet.
