FWIW, I grew up with two dogs — a cocker spaniel and a dachshund. Were it not for the fact that several of my sister’s family members are highly allergic, we would have a dog now.
Instead, we have hamsters. In fact, right now I’m watching my hamster as he stands on top of his wheel.
But then again, being a canine myself, I guess some people that I should not have myself in my house.
