why small animals are soothing

They might squeek a bit sometimes, but they don't talk your fuckin ear off or yap yap yap and laugh about stupid comments about your penis or whatever.  You know what I'm talking about.  You could have a half dozen Russian hamsters in the room with you all day and they don't make you want to strangle them.  Some of these bitches though, ten minutes and you want to leave.  Silence is golden.  Quiet people are great if you can find them.

Yappy dogs are the bane of my existence.  Cats can be pretty irritating as well, but dogs are persistently annoying.  One of my friends has several that bark their heads off every time I go over to his house.  It's rattling, to say the least.

I think I will get a nice, docile little bunny someday.
