Oh yeah! No one is coming here for a home visit and basing my pet parent status on whether I have dirty dishes in the sink. I'm not opposed to some sort of reference check, but unannounced home visits? Not a chance. Talk to my vet and hear how many thousands of dollars I've already put toward Boris's care. He gets whatever he needs - no matter the cost. He gets special food and medications from the regular human pharmacy and his favorite treats and for pete's sake even eats off my plate and drinks out of my glass from time to time (meaning whenever he wants what I'm having.) And yet, I know I'd fail a home inspection.

Meanwhile, the human interest news here is full of stories about the shelter overflow crisis.
