Would you consider cloning a beloved pet?

I wouldn't. It feels wrong and unnecessary to try to artificially recreate something unique and special. Especially when the world is full of pets looking for homes.

I was thinking about it today because I heard something about Tom Brady cloning his dog.

No. I am still grieving for Toby and Shorty. They were real. I would go to the shelter and get one first or get one from a friend.

Shelter pets need homes desperately so I am of the mind to adopt my next one and hopefully a sibling of the same sex.🐕🐕or a cat🐱

Get a kitten and a pup and raise them together, it'll be great. 🙂

@calicuz I wanted to do that with Toby but with working and living alone I was afraid I would feel overwhelmed. Then I inherited Shorty and the two of them were practically raised together and Toby had already passed and I had Shorty until he passed.
