I don't have any pets, but my father has a wonderful little girl dog named Molly, and she is a Boston Terrier. I see her only occassionally, as I no longer live with my folks.
My brother has two cats, named Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Butch is very gregarious (he always greets you at the door), and Sundance is a mind-boggling difficult cat to find. He's sort of shy. Once I couldn't see him, but I did hear him, so all was just fine. I see the cats only when my brother's out of town with his job (he's a cross-country bus driver), as Mother and I get stuck making sure the cats are alright.
I wish I could have a pet, but my folks say it's just not practical to have a pet in an apartment. I live by myself and I sometimes wish I had a fluffy, four-legged creature around!
Mother and Daddy are divorced....Mother lives in an apartment too and she doesn't have any pets, either.
