We Are Trying To Adopt Now

I had a dog.  It did not behave.
I took it back to the shelter.
I got a cat.
It hissed at me.
I kicked it out.
Dumped it in the country.
Not caring it was pregnant.
We tried to have a child for four years.
Took in a foster child, but it ran away.
Twice.
We are trying to adopt now.

Such bad luck...perhaps you've just not found the right pet yet? It's got to be successful at some point...keep going.

Yes, Line, exactly what I need. Another pet. You do realize I am raising a raccoon and an opossum under "protest" and they both outweigh a potbelly pig!
