Miniature Pets!

Matt and I have spent much time debating whether or not Mitch needs a dog brother. Pretty much every time I see a puppy and smell puppy breath, my entire being yearns for a new pup.

Through our deliberations, however, we've realized that we are good as a trio, and that another dog would not necessarily increase the quality of Mitch's (or our) life. He's an only dog. He's also spoiled.

I think I've stumbled upon a solution, though. Why another dog? Why not another type of animal? Mitch has, of course, decreed that no cat enter our household, but would he be happy with a miniature hedgehog brother, Millard?

Or a pygmy horse, Mickey?

I know I would love to give Mitch a goat brother, Miguel.

The best is the micro pig, though. I'd name him Mario, and I think he'll be a great addition to our little family.

Come on. These pictures make me shriek because I'm so overwhelmed by the cute. Absurd.
