Everyone has a responsibility to provide the basic
needs for their pets.
Shelter, food, water, maintaining their health, exercise
and providing affection.
In return if all is as it should be you will receive
unconditional love and loyalty.
I think that's a very fair exchange and certainly
much better than a poke in the eye with a
sharp stick.
If there's any poking to be done I intend to be
the one to do it and know exactly where that
stick is going to go.
