At first, I just wanted animals because that's what a house WAS to me. My parents have always had animals. I couldn't imagine getting into bed without a kitty at my feet. (or side, or face, or hogging my pillow... )

But I keep getting more pets. I want a baby... WE want a baby. So we have other babies to baby until we are blessed with a human... I won't stop loving my other babies, but I think the constant little additions will stop. (except for a dog... as SOON as we have a house we're getting one!)
