I'm allergic to just about any pet you can imagine, though I didn't always used to be. I loved animals as a kid. I was the little girl scout who, after having a series of hamsters, finally convinced Mom and Dad to pick up a free puppy.
[However, I wasn't the little girl who sampled the dog food to make sure it was good enough for said puppy... cough cough... christie...]
Years later, I realized how messy animals can be. And dirty. Cute, yes, but time consuming. I like to think that I willed myself into my allergy, so that I would have a better excuse than my parents did when my kids begged for a pet someday.
So when Ryan's mom brought a special friend home with our groceries, it took me awhile to warm up to him. Of course, by dinnertime, we were getting pretty cozy.
Luckily, I'm not allergic to fish.

Boy, that pet sure looks nice the way it is. Hay que compartir ese tipo de mascotas, no??

haha--you'll have to talk to Ryan about that. I have to admit though--the eye looks pretty sick, no?
