I have something I want to bring up on net.pets.

I have always loved animals, particularly dogs.  As I was
growing up however, my mother disliked animals and wouldn't
let me have a dog; or when I finally would get one after years
of begging, we would have it about a year and then it would
have to go (my favorite dog she took out in the country and
gave away without telling me).

Well, when I finally moved out I got my animals.  First a dog, then
I bred her (she had 12 puppies). I kept one, then I got a cat, and
when my room mate moves out I will have another cat.  So I have a family
of four.

Well, the point is that my mom and my friends all think I am weird (some
think I am disgusting) for living with all these animals (the dogs and
cats all come inside).  Now I try to keep my place clean, it's hard
with the hair, but it isn't a pig pen.

I am just tired of feeling like I am unacceptable to society because I
want to live with animals.  Two of my room mates moved out because of
the dogs.  I am looking for a room mate now but I feel that I am
doomed to always live alone.

Any comments?
