No more pets

I am not a "pet person".  I love playing with dogs, cats and other animals.  I don't like the day to day responsibilities that come with taking care of a pet.  I don't like the smell of pet food and I hate cleaning up poop.....any animal poop.  So my kids begged me for a pet so we got 2 beta fish.  I thought I could handle fish again but, sadly......NO!  After 3 weeks of getting the fishes I decided to clean the water.  2 hours after putting them back I realized that they were both dead.  My dead fish, because I have plenty of experience, always are like torpedos pointing down.  My kids starting crying even though they couldn't remember the fishes names.  We might try getting 2 more fish and I feel bad for the ones we pick.  I don't try to kill them......it just happens. 
Does anyone have suggestions on another pet that is easier than beta fish?

I love the new posts. I can just picture Luke spinning around the goal posts chatting it up with the goalie - we miss Luke! - and all of you for that matter. Horse back riding lessons sound awesome!

So scarey about Lincoln falling off the piano bench! At least he didn't fall onto cement or tile. I'm glad he's doing well and that he can be appeased with cupcakes and peanut butter - way to teach him young! -my kinda kid!!
