Pet Peave

I ain't joking, I really want a pet!!!!!! Should I get the crazy cross lab/beagle from the dog shelter? Or the lab puppy from the hardware store pet shop? Maybe the frenchie from the good pet shop? Jeez, there's a fatal problem with every option. Alas, we will get a cockatiel! Chick should come end of September so we are arranging the cage and studying up on how to be bird parents.
