Why dogs and cats are better than kids

Know I haven't checked in lately, just too busy. But this was worth taking the time for (and, besides, I could just cut and paste!). It's from one of the several pet-related things I subscribe to...

Dogs and cats are better than kids because they:

1. Eat less
2. Don't ask for money all the time
3. Are easier to train
4. Normally come when called
5. Never ask to drive the car
6. Don't hang out with drug-using friends
7. Don't smoke or drink
8. Don't have to buy the latest fashions
9. Don't want to wear your clothes
10. Don't need a 'gazillion' dollars for college.
11. And finally,...If they get pregnant, you can sell their children.
