I’m not much on pets.
That’s not to say I’m opposed to pets, it’s just that I have usually not owned one. But, I’m okay with you owning one. Or two. Or a whole houseful. I don’t care. There will be none in my home. That’s all that matters.
It’s time for Tuesday Night Open Thread. This is where you trash what I just said if you disagree and want to express your horror at my sharing my own opinions that you didn’t ask to hear.
Or, where you talk about something else altogether. Your call.
Who wants to start?
Maybe having pets is crazy. But what can I say? You humans are so cute I can’t resist keeping one or two of you around.

I’ve mostly done cats, most of whom I trained to come when called.
