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”niture.)
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 smoke or drink
9. Don’t have to buy the latest fashions

10. Don’t want to wear your clothes
11. Don’t need” gazillion” dollars for college.  And finally...
If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
