God gave us pets to fill a void in our heart like once a mom always a mom when the kids grow up they leave home now mom has pets for babies and wow are they ever spoiled. You think that pets are easier and don't talk back but they truly are a couple of kids who will get into everything, fight one minute, best of buds the next, they each have their own toys and won't let the other one play with their toys, they tattle on each other and blame each other and oh yes they most definitely talk back and argue with you to get their way.
