Steve is allergic to cats. I grew up with lots of cats. We would adopt every stray cat in the neighborhood. But they were always outdoor cats, never allowed inside. I can't really do that to a cat here in Vegas, or so I'm told by the experts here.
As for a dog... we've discussed this many times. I'm not willing to walk it or clean up its droppings. I don't think we could give it the proper amount of time and attention. I wouldn't want to bathe it or figure out what to do with it when we travel. It's just not a good option for our family dynamic.
So then I thought about smaller animals, but to put something in a cage goes against my beliefs. So no fish, hamsters, gerbils, rabbits, etc.
All I could really come up with was a turtle, which apparently do very well here in Vegas. But a turtle isn't exactly cuddly and playful, though I like them cuz they're slow and I think they're adorable. But I've got kids who are cute, cuddly, adorable, and potty trained
