    The anus thing is true though.
Ha.

I agree that pets serve many functions and that for me, most of them are emotional. Much like a friend. In fact, steve, there are many friends that I would gladly choose my dogs over. You're lucky my dogs can't edit video :) I of course kid (you are the bomb)... but people/pets/things do not need to have the type of ROI you outline. They need not read brail in order to serve a function. My dogs are like friends but they're definitely not like children.

I've always had friends and therefore I could always make that comparison. My bone of contention is when people that haven't had kids claim their pets are like their children. They have no idea.
