Buddy has been wanting a cat for a long time. He's the one who has been over looked with getting wants, partly because he is the middle child and partly because he is non verbal.
His dad told him he could never have a cat even though we were separated. I got a dog instead (she kind of fell in my lap), and he pitched a fit about that. I had to get rid of her because Justus was allergic.
We got fish and birds and rats. Through it all what Buddy wanted was ignored.
He got so excited yesturday when he found out we were going to get him a "titty tat". I love seeing him so happy. Last night he kept checking on her to make sure she hadn't gone anywhere.

That is AWESOME!! Kyle does NOT like animals. He now tolerates them without screaming as long as they do not touch him.
I know you know this, but you are a great mother!

Thanks Sully, it's nice to hear sometimes. The ex told me over and over I wasn't and my parents don't like how I'm raising the kids. I haven't sacrificed myself to be their mother.
Justus is the same way about animals, except with the dog we used to have. They were the best of buddies. It broke my heart to have to get rid of her. Hopefully he will outgrow the allergy and we can get a dog again.

or you could perhaps keep the dog outside?

There was a couple here in town, the wife was allergic to dogs. They kept trying different dogs from the shelter until they found one that didn't bother her allergies. The one that worked for her was a wire haired terrior of some sort.
Maybe try a wired haired dog. You can probably get a breeder to let you try one out.

Well, Titty Tat got more than she bargained for last night. Buddy was petting her and as she walked past him he poked her in the bottom with his finger.
