I remember those. One of my kids had one on a key chain.
I think I need something real, even if she is over-jealous. I can't remember ever not having a pet, except for the time after my divorce & when I was single for about a year or so. I remember the quiet and peacefulness distinctly.
I don't think that I'd do well with one of those digital pets.
If I had one, it would probably die!
