I always had dogs growing up. All mutts, usually a retriever breed, put did have one black lab that was awesome with the exception of being a chewer. I remember my dad bringing home a new stereo system he picked up in Germany and she chewed all the wires. Boy, he was pisssed!
When I got older I got my first cat because his mother was run over in the parking lot and he was so tiny and cute that he could barely meow. I lured him out from under a car with bologna. Brought him to the SPCA and the sign read, "Not accepting cats, please adopt a cat." Wtf?!
Anywho, he was the best. Loved me to death and hated my exwife. Didn't care much for the kids either. Lol
Flash forward. My wife and I had three older cats that coincidentally died all 1 year apart in August. Three years without any pets and me saying, no way in hell I'm getting another pet, we got this girl... Nena. Found her on craigslist 2 hours away. She's now the best! Loves everyone and we call her catdog. She follows my wife everywhere!
