To All Non-Pet Owners Who Visit and Like to Complain About Our Pets: 
 
1. They live here. You don't. 
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"nitur e.) 
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people. 
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly. 
  Remember: In many ways, dogs and cats are better than kids because they: 
1. Eat less 
2. Don't ask for money all the time 
3 Are easier to train 
4. Normally come when called 
5. Never ask to drive the car 
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends 
7. Don't smoke or drink 
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions 
9. Don't want to wear your clothes 
10. Don't need a gazillion dollars for college. 
        And finally, 
11. If they get pregnant, you can sell their children
