They even wanted to know if why now we wanted a pet. It was unbelievable how aweful we were treated. I know that their concern was for the animals, but wouldn't it have been better for a pet to be cared for and loved than to live in a cage. Anyway, my kids have owned Guinea Pigs and now fish. But everytime you guys post about your animals I let them read them and they love them, especially the ones with pictures.

I am done ranting now...

I know what you mean Ms Grumpy! When me and Mary went to get Charlie they made us feel like we didn't deserve to have a pet. I almost felt as if Charlie was a human child and we were scum or something to them. Here's a picture of our two pets. Charlie is the one with his ears up and Mixie is laying down. Yep black cats cross my path all the time; it could explain my bad luck sometimes.
