Point of this post is to state that you have no idea how much work (and money) is entailed in having pets until they are gone.

YOU COULD NOT HAVE SAID THAT ANY BETTER!
However, I do love my two 14 y.o. cats and my 4 y.o. old dog with a passion. It is those two smelly guinee pigs that drive me nuts! All they do is eat and crap, eat and crap, etc. The food ain't cheap either. I think about how much money I spend on pet food all the time. Sometimes at the grocery store I'll have more $ worth of pet food than people food on the checkout counter. Since the cats are old they have had several teeth pulled and are no longer able to eat dry food. They eat 4 cans of wet food per day which adds up to over $3 per day just for the 2 cats. I'm easily in for over $200 per month on pet food. WOW!
I can see it now, when they are gone the wife and kids will be begging for another cat (or two). Not on my watch. Never again. One dog is PLENTY!! Or maybe 2 when I get my fence up. But sure as heck not 3.
Good post!
