Hi DrDooLittle, that's a valid question deserving of an answer. The best way I can think of answering is just to say that if I felt the need to put my life on hold whenever it threw a wrench at me, then you would be right. IOW, If I couldn't handle it, then I would agree that I shouldn't.

To explain further (since there seems to be an active interest in my personal life), I will go on to explain how life has its ups and downs as everyone breathing should know. Life has its hard times and easy times, busy and slow, challenging and trivial, etc. The important thing to remember is that we should try our best to enjoy the good times and then to avoid crumbling under the pressure of the hard times. A little bit of running around and huffing and puffing has never hurt anyone, least of all me. If I had only a single pet and it was Manasha, the same thing would have happened than if I had had 20 additional pets than I do.

Some people's stress threshold are higher than others. I guess mine is just higher than most?
