we can only hope..............................

My Daughter is a huge animal lover and i spend most of m time telling her that she can't have this one or that one, but we do have 2 rescue cats now....and like yours , they are the best cats ever the first one was rescued from under a porch by my daughter and her boyfriend and was hand raised at his house {along with a pug} (she lives with us now though) so Kidro Wilson {her name} totally thinks she's a dog..................comes running when she hears the door open, fetches, gives her paw, sits etc etc and she's a fat little fury tank.....................the second one was a human society rescue and she's is pure white and thin..............all cat ...........her name is delila {my wife and i call her pinky} beautiful little girl

I am not a big animal person, bu i can't stand to see them abused in any way, i believe in disapline for them so they don't take over the house. i really like the Dog wisperer and his concepts...................i used to have dogs and had some bad expieriences with them {i was trianing a black lab for frisbee competition and my nieghbor poisoned her...........really bad time in my life, it was worse than loseing my x wife, so i have been stand offish towards animals since then, the fish tank is my first step back towards them .............anyway sorry for rambleing............some people have an inate drive to have animals and some just get them to have some sort of false status or false success in their lives...........i feel that by my choice not to have a dog or what ever for the wrong reasons is better for the animal in the long run by far...................................

maybe someday I'll try another one

One of my cats lived to be 19 years old. I got her when I was 17 and had her until I was 36. That's some perspective. And she lasted longer than any friend or significant other that I had during those years. She was healthy and would have lived longer but she died in a terrible accident. I could go on about how special she was (and she knew words and tricks!), but I think you get the picture.

I feel the same about my fish. So far I've only returned one, but he was unhappy and making everyone else in the tank unhappy as well. I visited him at the lfs to make sure he was being treated as they said he would, and he was, and he was happy.

I'm not sure what to do with fry though. I just had my first fry, about 20 of them, and I'm sure the lfs will take them, but 1. is that like "returning" a fish, and 2. the females aren't "desirable" so what will happen to them? I disapprove of breeding cats/dogs, is this like that?

there's only like ONE LFS near me that i know doesn't sell fish at bulk to people that don't know squat... the reality is... you just have to get used to it... oh well... some people have money to waste and they aren't educated with the consicuences that they will face... oh well...

there's some guy in our club that was like that... that's why he doesn't want to attempt to do a SW tank anymore... he lost alot of cash...

like i said... oh well, get used to it...
