My Ancient Ancestors passed down the "Cat Allergy" Gene to me, it is hard coded in my DNA. I refuse to buy a genetically engineered cat, i.e., a hypoallergenic breed.

I'm on my 4th "Puppy" right now and yeah, I always call 'em my "Puppy" even when they are old. They are all pains in the ass, needing to be walked, fed and played with, LOL. In return, I get extra love, attention and protection, so I guess its a fair deal.

On top of that, my dog is always glad to see me and appreciates all the time I spend with her. If only the dog could teach my wife and kids the value of gratitude, life would be even better than it is now.
