A Tale of Our Silent Menagerie

At our house, we no longer have real live pets to care for and keep us company, but we discovered that we have a house full of pets. It's just that they have been so lazy and quiet that we had quite forgotten about them even though they were all around us. Although they are made of ceramic and cloth, it is fun to look at them and reminisce about how we came to be their family. Come inside and let me introduce you to our silent menagerie.
