Today we went to the zoo. If by zoo, you mean PetSmart. You know why? Aside from the obvious fact that we needed cat and dog food, it's also Bear's No. 1 favorite place to go. We tell him it's the zoo. Hey, don't judge. He can see fish, reptiles, birds, small rodents that some people call pets, and a few cats and dogs. Before you go thinking we're mean let me remind you: he's TWO. His attention span is, at best, ten minutes and the real zoo is 40 minutes from our house and $40 in admittance. So yeah, we're going to keep pushing the PetSmart-as-a-zoo for as long as possible.
And shhh...don't tell but I'm hoping to discourage any ownership of a pet that isn't a cat or dog. If he thinks that fish, birds, reptiles and rodents live in the zoo then hopefully he won't want them to live at my house. See how that works?
