katek I totally agree with you- as a lifelong animal lover- all mongrels. I don't think anyone could be closer to their pets- but no, they are not my children. And I truly hate cat and dog shows- and dressing animals in human clothes (our adopted dachshund has a coat to protect him from wet and cold of course).
What were the first ever records that you bought and when?
Parents-in-Law. What do/did you call them?
