Yep, it’s me, even though the only parts of that whole deal that I had even a little tiny part in bringing into our home was the two cats, and if you’ve ever owned cats, you know that they require the least little bit of active participation in keeping them alive. Even feeding them isn’t super important because they just eat the food our neighbors put out for their outside cats when they don’t like what I’ve put in their bowl. But, yeah, it’s like I’m a ranch hand on Yellowstone or something. Get up, feed the dogs, feed the cats, fill up the water bowl… let the chickens out of the coop, collect the eggs, feed and water them… feed the fish, feed the other fish, feed the other-other fish, feed and water the hermit crabs… water the indoor plants, water the vegetable garden, and finally, feed myself.

Now, granted, I did make a vow to love, honor and cherish my wife, even if it includes more wildlife than I anticipated, but baby girl brings a whole new level to this whole thing with her hobbies and interests. I did talk her out of a flower bed in the front yard. The bad part is she’s going off to college next year, leaving me, I’m sure to take care of her animal collection…
