Why wait all those years, Gary may not last that long without a pet...
pets are calming, adds years to ones life. Several doctors have told
me pets are far better for relieving stress/anxiety than drugs. Living
all alone and ascared to talk on the phone Gary would be making a
huge mistake going pet free cold turkey... by the time he's missed
he'll be reduced to a heap of bones and writhing maggots.
