You have lots of pets, you just don't see them often. They crawl and squirm and wriggle on your carpet, in your bed, in your walls, on your eyebrows and toes, in your gut, through your blood, and sometimes on your food and in your mouth when you sleep.
You take care of many of them, you just probably don't try to cuddle with them.

@davebutton ~ Those aren't pets. Those are the keepers and caretakers of us. We're their pets.
