PETS? I dont think so

in respnse to donuts mom blog about our apparent dislike for animals, here may be a few reasons:
in the house i grew up in we had rabbits every once in a while but just for a night, they apparently needed eye surgery and then were sent to play in rabbit heaven
we had a cat for half a week
we had a turtle in the basement for a while
we had some orphaned baby rabbits that didnt last long,
but the longest safest most funest pet we ever had was our fish, which sadly all died. (the filter stopped working on pesach 3 years ago ) and it just hasnt been the same since
