According to her, "He has said, for all the years I have known him, that we will never, EVER own a dog. He has a list of reasons why.

2. You can't go out of town without dealing with them.
3. They poop in your yard.
4. They're expensive
5. They eat everything.
6. They require exercise.
7. They leave hair everywhere.
8. They're expensive.
Oh! and, 9. They're expensive."
I reminded them of a few other reasons:
10. They chew up your furniture,
11. They crap in the house, not just the yard,
12. You have to pull big fat ticks off of them.
She told me there were actually more like 100 reasons, but she didn't want to take the time to list them all.
This is a perfect example of making a decision based purely on emotion instead of logic. It is the kind of decision you may regret later once the emotion of the moment has passed. It is the kind of decision emotional people make, and logical people frown upon. It is the kind of decision that often causes you to murmur "What was I thinking!"
But it's also the kind of decision that makes us human. It's what makes us interesting beings. It's what makes life enjoyable. Sometimes the situation requires one to say "The heck with logic." A world without such emotional decisions would be a boring place in which to live.
Good decision, Steve.
