Lots of people admit they would rather have a pet before having a child - they say it might be a nice idea to learn how to take care of someone before becoming parents, and yes, perhaps there's something reasonable behind these words. Anyway any parent would tell you that not even a dozen of pets will ever replace a single, even calmest and quietest baby. However, no one would ever say No to you if you still decided to try - just like these people!
