My Next Pet

I grew up in a house awash with critters. We were a pet friendly family. We had cats, dogs, hamsters, mice, tropical fish, gerbils, snakes, lizards, exotic birds and insects. I like having animals around me. It's comforting.

I am now petless and heard on some satellite radio station this morning that teacup pigs are now the rage. I am rather fond of the swine as a creature; the notion of having a minature version prancing through Central Park en leash is rather appealing to me.

I'm may just change my mind tomorrow. We'll see.
