I was born and raised in Kentucky. I like reading. I watch the news. I play badminton and basketball. I am a veteran. I have served in the Vietnam war. I am an old man.

Aside from cats, do you like animals or have had any pets? I don't right now. I have been thinking about getting a dog though. I've been following the local shelters website and seeing what animals they get in. How about you? I don't have any pets at all right now unfortunately. I just saw an outreach program from a local shelter and have to say that the animals were so cute. I'd love to adopt one if I could make it work! I always had pets growing up, both cats and dogs. I like them both, I just never got once since getting out of college. Maybe it's about time. They are a bit of a responsibility, but not too hard. That sounds like such a lovely house when you were growing up. I get really nervous about all of the responsibility never having had a pet before. I feel like I'd get bored of it fairly quickly and obviously that's a big problem. You'd be surprised. The love you get in return is well worth it. They really don't take too much more than some walking, playing, and feeding. I think you'd like it.  I can imagine. Having something so completly reliant on me is just a scary thought overall. But I do see how it would be able to help me if something bad happened. Maybe you could do one of the foster programs, where you have one for a few weeks at first to try it out.  I have been thinking about that for a long time. It would definitley be a unique experience. I love the idea that you get to leave it at the end of the day and not be stuck with it forever if there's any issues. Picking a dog can be important. You have to find the breed, and temperament right for you. There are plenty of nice dogs or cats that would love to sit with you while you read.  Yes, every animal has its own personality. But how much of that personality are you exposed to during the adoption process? I think the animal would be super stressed from being in a shelter alone. It takes a bit to learn yes. That's why the foster programs can be good. You can trial them for a week or so.
