Not only did they get rid of the cat and return the puppy, but they've had other pets and got rid of them too! They had an ADORABLE little Chinchilla and they gave it back to the pet store after 1-2 months. They had 2 snakes which died. They had pet mice which they let lose on the streets after they got bored with them.
It is mostly Charley that wants all these pets and then wants to get rid of them. Sandra really liked the cat and was upset when Charley got rid of it but she's too weak to stand up to him. She also did NOT want to get a dog in the first place but whatever Charley wants, Charley gets. He's such a bully.
The only pet they ever kept LONG term is this bird/parrot named Choco. They actually treat him very good. Charley just bought a brand new $350 cage for him. But that still doesn't redeem him in my eyes.
