One day in the previous company I use to work for, making my usual morning cup of java when my colleague walked into the kitchen and began our usual idle morning chit chat. It’s actually quiet funny how much can be discussed during this 5min coffee making session. Not quiet sure how it even happened but we somehow were discussing animals and he told me he believed a pet stayed outside come rain or snow. Naturally I was horrified and by the look on my face which he noticed and with a bemused look on his face casually commented “don’t tell me you one of those people who believes their pet is a child, why not just have a child? Animals are meant to be outside as they are dirty. I can’t stand people who consider pets to be their children.” So with a deep breath I replied “I most definitely would have had a child if God had blessed me with one, but I am not as fortunate as you, and even if I did have a child my pet would have still been a family addition, and treated like a family member”.
Well the look on his face was priceless.
My Chloe loves me no matter what…
