pets & survival

I thought I should make the announcement.... We got a pet!!! The easiest pet to take care of and hardest pet to kill!!! A beta fish!! But, if something were to happen, Petsmart does offer a 14 day return policy on all fishes. bahahahahaha that's for people like me who aren't keen on animals. I mean I like animals..... as long as they belong to someone else. ;o) Now I can add "the returnable type animals" to that short list of animals I like.

Now, don't get me wrong, I would love for us to have a family puppy dog. But, this dog would have to be potty trained, leash trained, non-shedding, non-chewing.... pretty much a statuesque dog that doesn't get on my furniture or bark at my friends... Maybe I could get a dog from Cesar, the Dog Whisperer!!! His dogs are always very well behaved!!

I saw a preview for a show on BBC America called "Survivors" about people who survived some type of plague that killed off virtually everyone. This may sound weird, but I LOVE this type of show or movie. 28 days later & 28 weeks later are 2 of my faves along with any of the mummy movies. I REALLY believe that I could survive if that ever happened. If the world went crazy, I know what I would do and how I would survive. Does anyone else think about that or am I just that morbid? I even know different ways to collect water.... haha It's probably just me...

Hope to wake up tomorrow and EVERYONE has "survived" hehe

We had a Beta that Macy got when she turned 2!!! it just died right before Christmas...so it "survived" for almost 2yr!! And no you are not the only person that thinks about that kind of stuff...I am very morbid and obsess about stuff like that..Mom says I need to read the book "Battlefield of The Mind" by Joyce Meyer...My mind goes crazy sometimes when I think about it too much:)

I had a Beta fish once, ironically named Survivor. Was cleaning the bowl and Survivor almost went for a swim down the drain, didn't and lived thru the scare. From that day on we referred to Beta as Survivor.. I too am not a pet person. This isn't something you just go around saying.. People get really offended.. Believe me, I know that pets bring much love and joy to a billion or so owners but I am not one of them.... I too, can appreciate Mom's dog, the family dog, you know, but personally am not a fan of the agreed things you mentioned as well as barking while sleeping in the a.m. (F that) and fleas, not to mention that chewing noise they make while licking themselves at bedtime..... ughhh....
