    Not a joke. I suspect the creation of pet rent contributed to the dilution of the concept of service animals (people insisting that Rex the psychotic chihuahua is an emotional support animal).

      Hey, a big mean looking pibble in darling purple sheen pearls is a great emotional support companion. Big big hugs and cuddles, can rough house just fine, and she emotionally supported a bad character out of the house when my wife was working from home and a trade-type guy apparently didn’t get the memo that it wasn’t a good idea to try that.

      Her sister, same litter, needs an emotional support animal - and my wife rescued a soaking wet orange ball of spite and pain from under a car hood in the rain who realizes that “her” dog needs support during scary times (rain, jets, fireworks, all that).

      She lives under the bed, shows up for food and water, to use the litter box, and for “her” puppy. It’d be adorable if she were more effective at it, but that house damage isn’t so cute.
