No new pets in the Dog and Pony show

The Boy is having a birthday. The Boy wants a pet. So I (tentatively... like a child asks a stern parent) asked The Dog.

Ouch.

We are not EVER going to have another pet now that the cat (the real feline) has passed over the rainbow bridge. EVER. None negotiable. No discussion. No compromise. No deal. See, the cat (the real feline) was ill and made messes and all pets are now banned in case they make messes. Life IS a mess.


Lesson learned: There is no remorse and no recourse with The Dog.
Countdown: 3652 days.
