I mean, don't get me wrong, I think cats and dogs are fun in short bursts of time. Like, when i visit friends/family that have dogs/cays it's all good, but when I'm done giving them my attention, I'm done. And I just couldn't see myself comfortable with the idea of paying vet bills, buying their food, etc etc. And again, the great majority of them make a house stink unless you're shampooing your upholstery/carpets every 2 weeks
We do clean a lot. But children can be destructive. I guess like anything you have to take care of it?
**** half the time they are less annoying than the GF.
