Soph does NOT need a friend

Oh boy. My daughter wants another dog so the Soph won't be "lonely." She's driving me nuts over it. Until a couple days ago, guess who had to do EVERYTHING for EVERY pet we've ever had? Yours truly. For two whole days, the kid takes care of her own dog, and that warrants my jumping up and getting another. Sometimes I wonder what planet kids live on in their mind, because it sure isn't this one. Sure, I'd like to get her a zoo, but geez! The cats are enough! I can't prove it, but I think they're the ones that keep losing my measuring tape. I say this because every time I forget to clean the litter box, there is a pile of cat poo, X marks the spot, in the path of where I have to walk through the garage to get in/out of my car. It varies. Sometimes, they go where I step out of the car, nowhere near the box. The Soph, kids & cats are enough to clean up after. I think I'd run away from home if I had anything else to deal with, and I'm already contemplating it as it is.
