that once or twice had a dog, but no other pets. We were quite happy with no animals, and had two sons.

When we bought a house in Boulder, CO, it came with a cat. I was quite happy, and husband adjusted well. Fast forward a decade or so. Husband met another woman he decided he'd rather be with. Darn! Anyway, what I find hilarious is that she is something of a crazy cat lady, and had seven at the time they got together.

I think right now they have two or three.
