This Is Why I Have A Dog



Imagine sitting in front of the TV, watching Saturday morning cartoons, eating a bowl of Cherrie O's and all of a sudden and 18-foot python bites you and begins to wrap itself around your body to suffocate you and then eat you whole. Nope, it's not another installment of that oh so good horror flick Anaconda, its real people.
"Officials say the snake began squeezing the breath out of the child before Melissa Melendrez stabbed the snake more than a dozen times with a kitchen knife." (foxnews.com)
First of all, having a pet snake is not only pointless (because snakes don't do anything, you can't even take them for a walk) it's apparently dangerous when they get so big they can eat your kids. Sure, dogs some times attack for no reason, and cats can be vicious (little drama queens) but I've never had a pet TRY TO EAT ME!
Here's my theory on people who keep exotic pets.... People who buy snakes, spiders ... tigers and other random animals are trying to fill a void in their personality. My guess is that they either don't have anything interesting to say so they do whatever they can for shock value to get people to start a conversation with them or they just lack ability for any normal and rational behavior. Certainly I'm all for self expression (obviously) and I admire people who take in pets, of all kinds, that have no other place to go. But an 18-foot python is not your friend. Neither is a poisonous spider or a man eating feline. They are wild animals and will more than likely hurt you the first chance they get.
Word of advice folks, get a hamster or a cat or even a dog. And if you still crave that fulfilment you get from housing something slithering, visit a zoo where they have trained professionals.

Is this a serious question? I don't know if this is real or not but please read, and read all the comments too, it's worth the laugh. Especially the last comment by DarkMusclePrince

About Me

My photo
I'm a woman in my mid 20s living alone in a less than fantastic apartment with a dog that has chronic allergies. For the first time in my adult life I’m nobody’s other which means killing spiders and shoveling snow all on my own. I’m the baby of a “Brady Bunch” family with 3 brothers and a sister all of which are married with children and I take great joy in being an aunt and not a mother.; at this point any how. I’m not your typical girl although I do girly things from time to time. I love to write, hence this blog and Paper Seduction, my poetry site. And I’m just trudging through life, finding fun and hoping the universe gives me a break … of any kind.
