I should live so long! I envy you the space for footwarmers and bedfellows.
Sadly, I live in a VERY cramped studio apartment and my only companion is a rescued parakeet. I live in public housing and mores the pity. I have applied for a one-bedroom, and when it is offered, I will take it and get a dog from the local shelter.
And if possible, I will sneak in a cat, because I love critters. The deposit here is $250 for each pet, except birds. There are so many animals who NEED me!
Here are my three min pins and Pomeranian taking a little nap. The one on the left is Kittie. She has diabetes which we are treating but has caused her to have a cataract in her good eye. She is blind in the other from a fight years ago so we are contemplating eye surgery if the vet thinks it will help. She gets by pretty good though and doesn't let it hold her back.
