Dear DiMarie,

Pets are supposed to be good for us, even people without bp!

But for me the benefits would not out weigh the disadvantages. As soon as the pet disturbed my sleep once, I would be upset. That is just one example.
Plus I don't want to get close to beautiful creature and feel responsible for it. I have been too responsible my whole life and am taking a break from responsibility. (spent ALOT of money in therapy recently to come up with this)

I think I am an exeception on this board abotu pets.

Also, I have a new husband of 1 1/2 years but no kids. He takes care of himself, including cooking. I do laundry, but is is a clean guy. lol
