    Don't underestimate scaly fishy pets either. Many of my friends on disability pensions find a tank of little fish very calming.

    @Brenda5, I was trying to find the right word to use :D. You are absolutely correct, maybe some members have fish, snakes or even lizards as pets. We want to hear about ALL of them  <3. @InkPetal it's just the best! @primek that whole thread has so many incredible quotes. @brightspace <3
