It is a commitment to keep an animal. Dogs are cute and loyal and make a great choice. The only thing about a talking parrot is that it might not just repeat all the funny stuff, but also maybe things you don't want it to, lol!
As for the hair.......I had straight hair pretty much all my life. I have had hormonal changes and now it's wavy and probably would be curly if it weren't long. I always wanted curly hair before and now I wish for the straight hair back again! I guess I'm never satisfied, lol!
Thank you for sharing and have a lovely day!
