There is always at least one in the family that insists that there are no pets coming into the house. All kinds of excuses are given as to why not. For example, they are too much trouble. They are too costly. Or, they are too destructive. Then after the family wails and carrying on they will give in. More often than not they end up becoming the one that falls in love with the new family member. All those reasons for not wanting the pet in the first place have gone by the wayside.
