I have an old friend who had a cat. He was always talking about it like it didn't matter. "The cat just moved in" and he was around and sometimes slept in the house.
After a while knowing him (the friend, not the cat), it turned out that the cat was like a family member "he sleeps in my bed" and was cared about more than my friend liked to admit.
Today he died. He lived 17 or 18 years with my friend. It's very sad.
I don't care what you people with kids think, pets can be just as loved and cared about. And thinking about earlier today, much, much, much easier to love :).

I would never deny that pets are often as well loved and cared for as kids, or even more so sometimes. and they are definitely easier but most of the great things in life come from stuff that isnt easy. It still breaks my heart when I think about the passing of my childhood pets who were a part of the family.
Very profound. And I feel the same about earlier pets.
