Charlie wants a dog
At least I think he wants a dog. He's been talking about it, but he is also imitating Verruca Salt as he does so. "Mommy.' He says, speaking in a clipped and almost British voice. "I Want. A. Dog."
I pointed out to him he has $95, and could possibly buy a dog for himself, and he actually considered it.
I'd toyed with the idea before, but I just don't think we have the time or money for a dog. (though, working 10 minutes from home does help - one could theoretically go home at lunch and let the dog out)
I have to keep reminding myself that dogs are fairly high maintenance, and probably aren't cheap to keep in food.
Because...look at this really cute dog. I want him.

What about starting with a fish. Say, a betta, since they're hearty and easy to take care of. If Charlie takes really good care of the feeshie, then he can get a dog.
Bettas require a pinch of food a day, they can live in a small bowl with no special equipment (just as long as said bowl is kept in a warm place), and what's more: they're cheap. And they don't bark and need to be walked. (But put a mirror in front of their bowl and watch them attack it with fins flared! So amusing. Funny, aggressive fish.)
