She actually does alot her herself. She showers independently, she CAN take care of the dog (and that's probably our fault for not making her do it) she can prepare her own food to a certain degree. Certainly not using the oven or stove. But I know she really wants one, like more than just a toy at the toy store, but she really desires having one, but I just don't think she could handle it, hell, I don't even think I can handle it on top of everything else, but I know she would absolutely love to have one.
And this is my thing too, she thinks they are cute and cuddly but she would only be able to basically watch it from a tank... so I don't know how long the new would last and how fast it would get old.
