Thanks for the chuckle!
I lean toward dogs as we never had cats growing up. I have no pets as they tie you down. I get my pet fix periodically by housesitting for others and taking care of their pets. Basically, I get paid for the privilege of playing with someone else's pet.
Speaking of moon . . .
... we never did it, but lots of folks shoot the hooch.
