I have probably never mentioned that I am not what you would call a "pet person". Meaning, I do not really like pets all that much. I have considered getting a puppy over the last year. I still don't have one. Why? Because dogs fart a lot and lick themselves and there really isn't anything you can say to them that will humiliate them enough to not do it in your presence.

So anyway, we have had a goldfish for the last year. It is a smelly, slimy goldfish whose tank is disgusting to clean. Guess who has cleaned it every single time? It blows.

My sister-in-law purchased two gifts for our little people this past Christmas that I hadn’t really dreaded until now. One is a butterfly observatory type thing. The other is a tadpole/frog habitat. Yesterday the tadpole came in the mail. ‘nuff said.
