i would like to have a dog
\nfor a pet
\ninstead i have fish
\na dog could bark and disturb
\nother tenants in the
\napartment house i live in<\/p>\n

and i would have to spend the
\nrest of my life
\nin servitude to a dog
\nas his personal
\npooper scooper <\/p>\n

i would like to have a cat
\nfor a pet
\ninstead i have fish
\ni hate when cats
\njump up on counters
\nand dinner tables
\nespecially since those
\nare places food is
\nprepared and eaten<\/p>\n

supposedly there are
\nways to keep cats off
\ncounters and tables
\nand i\u2019ve seen the methods
\non the Internet
\nbut i don\u2019t believe they
\nare 100% effective<\/p>\n

so i stick with keeping
\nfish for pets
\nbecause they don’t bark
\nand disturb neighbors
\nor jump up on
\ncounters and tables<\/p>\n
