Thanks But No Thanks

We are all aware of how much Matthew loves dogs and puppies. LOVES dogs and puppies. Everyone is also aware that Jeff, Madeline and I are quite happy having neither. Or any pets at all for that matter, particularly in the house. Tonight I asked Madeline what she would do if Matthew begged for a puppy, would she be ok with that or would she compromise on a cat (lesser of two evils). I asked "would you prefer a dog or a cat?" and she said "neither one." I said but what if you had to choose one and she said "I wouldn't choose either." ha ha ha

I'm sure this is not finished playing out and we are biding our time because the day is coming when he is going to want a dog. We'll see. I think pugs are cute when they are someone elses.... and corgis too, nothing larger than that.....
