Skip the Dog!
21 months ago
OK so we skipped the pets and went straight for the big one! We had a son. He’s 10.5 months old now. It’s amazing. It’s overwhelming. It’s scary and hard. It’s wonderful and I love it.

I’ve had Blur for close to 4 years now. He’s doing just fine, but does need his nails trimmed.
Fear of Responsibility
4 years ago
OK – I’m a very responsible person. Pay all my bills on time, work hard, show up where and when I say I will, but the whole idea of taking responsibility for another creature freaks me out. I love animals, especially dogs, and we’ve become the local dog sitters – love doing it, but the thought of having my own dog scares me – I want one but can’t seem to bring myself to do it. The lack of freedom, the thought of losing it, the thought of having to deal with it all the time makes me very uncomfortable. I won’t even go into the whole child thing. But I know that it’s something that I need to do, that I actually want to do – to care for another creature long term – kind of odd.
