I think I am going through pet withdrawl.  In the last hour I have googled information about:
1) pet cats
     pretty straight forward
2) wolf dogs
     just a really bad idea
3) pet raccoons
    I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaally want one but are illegal to own in colorado<---lame
4) pet skunks
    Deglanded of course, but still illegal in colorado<-----still lame
5) pet squirrel
    kind of scary when they grow up but are none the less illegal to own in colorado damn it!
6) pet ducks
    not illegal but I am worried about them getting eaten by the cat (see part 1)
I would have to discuss this all with Brody first of course.  She is rather jealous of my attentions.  I don't know how she would feel about a skunk wandering around the house.  She might eat a squirrel.  She is scared of ravens so the duck may be a no go.  A raccoon would out smart her or get into some complicated battle of wits.  She might just have to suck it up and accept a cat friend though.
Also, my rubber plant Walter is looking pretty sad.  Even though I had him in a box as I walked 5 minutes across campus, the top leaves all froze and have now fallen off.  Its like he got a hair cut....sad Walter.
