When I was a kid I remember trying to talk my Mother into letting me keep a puppy that followed me home one day.  She said she understood my wanting to keep it, but that it wasn't a good idea... in the long run.  Things would get complicated.  Margaret used the same line today.  She said that finally it wouldn't be a good thing.  We live in an apartment now, and with all those feathers...  Like with the puppy, we took some pictures. I don't know where they are now... the pictures or the puppy.
