Wow, its really nice to see that I am NOT crazy!

Growing up my sister & I were not "allowed" to have any pets. We tried to have a bunny rabbit, funny after a week in the cage outside with a lock, it "escaped". Then we tried a dog, after a month my father decided it was too much work (huh? we fed it, cared for it and cleaned up after it). So now that my sister & I are out on are own we both have pets. Only we have gone to the extreme, my sister who is in her 40's and single prefers dogs to men (long story here...he, he, he) and my husband & I have 3 furbabies........no kids, never wanted them. So my parents are grandparents, but not in the usual way. We still get comments about dogs/cats V.s children.

Both my parents were trying to "comfort" us when Lucky was really sick. Yes, we heard the "Its only a cat." and "You spent HOW much money on a CAT?!!" Needless to say I avoided calls from both of them, I'm still a little p.o'd at them Don't people do everything they can to get their loved ones well? Well, we do the same.
