Sigh.
I'll start and end with the first question.
Do you identify as a nontraditional pet owner, traditional pet owner, both, or neither?
I guess, that's today's public schools for you. Meaningless PC verbosity. To answer your question, I don't "identify" at all. I happen to own two snakes. I also own three dogs, and various livestock.

Gaitdappy, I am not slamming you, but maybe try for an angle with a little more meat to it?
