I don't plan on adding a pet, frankly, for a loooonnnng time.

We have a snake, who is apparently going to outlive all of us, but once he is gone, no more small animals in cages. The snake was my son's pet, he got him in grade school. Now my son is almost eighteen ... and you know how that goes, it's pretty much my snake now.

We also have six dogs. Keito is about sixteen years old, Pepper and Lucky are twelve, Georgie and Vanilla are eight ... and then we have the puppy, who is one and a half. So, I really can't see us adding any dogs to the pack until everyone has gone to doggie heaven except Sequoia. Then I might get a similar-aged friend for her.

So, no new dogs for about eight years, most likely.
