Moms And The Pets They Claimed To Not Want

We've all seen dads and the pets they claimed to not want, but what about all those pet-reluctant moms out there?

There's something special about animals that can touch the heart of anyone, even someone who is shut off to the idea of it. And while dads are quite notorious online for not wanting a pet, there are definitely moms out there who had put their foot down... only to lift it again after actually meeting the pet.

You can't stop the love that comes with a pet, you can try but you probably won't succeed.
