Do You Do This?

Yes think of that some too.. I always like shows when they have pets involved..

Not really, but when I go to someone's house and they have no pets at all I often think they need one. A house isn't a home without some kind of pet IMO.

No, but I do notice when there is a pet or baby and they "go away" at inopportune moments. Like, you wonder how the baby could possibly sleep so long or the dog never needs to go out while the characters do other things. Or sometimes there are sitcoms with children but they never seem to be home.

I don't do this for TV characters but do think that various real people I know would have a richer life if they had a pet. My mother-in-law loves to have Koko come and visit and I think that she would be happier if she had a pet to share her life. She says she has lost to many pets in her life and wouldn't want to love another just to lose it.

I wonder how much of the "disappearing children" is due to the limits they put on the amount of time child actors can works, etc? Or just a matter of laziness on the writers' parts!

Kinda i guess?

id really like to see more video games where you play through some levels or mini-levels as the main characters dog like in the Dead to Rights series. that was so kick-butt an rater fun an also challenging in the 3rd game to be the dog.

Not too often with tv, usually its that I wish to take pets away from some people. I do it at work though whenever I read the "star of the week" posters in the elementary school classrooms and theres a frowny face drawn on the spot where the kids fill in about their pets and it says they don't have any. What child is complete without the unconditional friendship a pet offers?

I don't watch much tv, but most of the time , in a movie, I worry the whole time that the characters dog will be killed before the movie is over. Like when the main character is a cop or detective.
