I ended up with a pair of cats. I didn't really want them but they were a package deal along with the girlfriend. I was at the pet store today and saw 5 puppies that were 1/2 golden retriever and 1/2 Australian shepperd up for adoption. I may have to try and sneak one home. We also have a saltwater tank with a clown fish and some other assorted marine life, a freshwater tropical tank and a beta fish.
