After 20+ years, absolutely. She's both lived through and thwarted many a "scheme" I've concocted.
I like to think I've matured in that time though. I know first-hand what it's like to be overwhelmed with animals and go through a reduction phase. And even then I'm still learning. Remember that stint where I kept obsessing over "saving" snakes from Craigslist and had to be repeatedly talked out of it? Always growing, always learning.
