Ok, so I have decided that we will never have any pets in our house other than dogs. I have been watching some of nieces and nephews and all their caged or tanked pets and I have come to one conclusion. The mom does ALL the work and in return this "pet" does nothing- most of them can't even come out of their cage/tank to play because they will either die or get lost.
And, Sheldon has been studying a whole slew of diseases that these small rodent animals carry and it's sooooo disgusting. Your average guinea pig or hamster carries some seriously gross and potentially deadly diseases.
So, it's all dogs for us. They can have as many dogs as they want, but our kids will have no small, caged/tank animals. Sheldon agrees.
