1.      The dog, cat, fox, lemur, genet, squirrel, possum, hedgehog, wallaby

          &sugar glider, etc ... live here. You don't.

2.      If you don't want dog/cat/fox... fur on your clothes, stay off the

         furniture.

3.     Yes, they have some disgusting habits. So do I and so do you. What's

        your point?

4.     OF COURSE they smell like a dog, cat, fox ...

5.     It's her nature to try to sniff your crotch. Please feel free to sniff

        hers.

6.     I like them a lot better than I like most people.

7.    To you they are a dog and cat. To me they are adopted children who

       are short, hairy, walk on all fours and don't speak clearly. I have no

       problem with any of these things.

8.    Animals are better than kids: They eat less, don't ask for money all

       the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive

       your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends, don't smoke or drink,

       don't worry about whether they have the latest fashions, don't wear

       your clothes,  don't need a gazillion dollars for college, and if they get

       pregnant you can  sell the babies.
