There's a rather unusual trend among the double-income-no-kids couples I know - they have all developed an obsession with designer pets.
I'm talking intense research about the best pedigree pet for their lifestyle/needs/furniture, which involves buying various books, doing research on the Internet and discussing it with anyone who will listen. Then they pay out stacks of cash for said pet then stacks more cash for designer pet gear - toys, bedding, sparkly collars, you name it. Then on top of that there is also intense discussion about names and and modes of training etc. etc. (They have to go to a good puppy school after all).
My theory is these people are obviously not ready for children, but have moved on from plants. I hope there's not some abandoned plants drowning in a bag in some lake, or pining for an owner at the RSPCP (Royal Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Plants) |
