I am so happier right now you have no idea. Rose will be, too? She acts all cool and aloof but she is all hells of kinds of into pets. Like, seriously. Crazy cat lady in the making, and I say that with all the brotherly love in the universe.

[ also, he's never actually had a pet. so this is helpful? ]

Do you have any suggestions on what I should be teachin' him? I mean. I figure swimming around with him will teach him that. And like. Eating stuff he seems to have down? But other than that I don't know a thing about parenting beyond like. Hey, dude, play nice with the other kids. Don't do drugs? Also stay in school.
