Becoming a pet owner involves a lot of responsibility and it’s also one of the reasons some people even the thought of it including myself. I’ve always wanted a dog but I have no interest in picking up after it. I had a Beta fish twice and both times it died within a few weeks. I have no interest in rodents and my wife would probably mistake it for a rat and you know the rest of that story. A cat is always on my list as they only seek attention when they feel like it and that’s not all that often. My sister had two cats but the problem was that their house would kind of smell funny thanks to the litter box. But stinky litter and the act of cleaning the litter box is now history thanks to the ScoopFree Ultra Self-Cleaning Litter Box! Wow, that was a mouthful.

People always find images of Jesus or Virgin Mary on a variety of foods and call it a miracle.
