RE: Animals would you like to have but may never get?
ohiotom, I wouldn't mind having a dog again. I grew up with a pocket toy poodle and with my brother's various hunting dogs. My husband had a beagle during his childhood. When we got married, we just had parakeets until he presented me with a kitten on our 5th anniversary. Ever since then, we've always had cats. I've asked him for a dog a few times, but he always says no, we have enough animals and he doesn't want to clean up after a dog or have the added responsibilty, etc. Well, maybe someday...
