I was very hesitant to say anything... but now that Kimmy's put my thoughts into the exact words.... DITTO DITTO DITTO!!!

I couldn't even imagine giving up one of my dogs up before sports, music, friends...etc. I'd even think of giving up school before them. May not be the smartest of choices, but they're living breathing animals, with emotions and feelings... and i'd give up every minute of my relaxation time to spend with them.
