I am a sucker for animals. Humans I'm not that crazy about, but animals I love. I can name a dozen human beings I wouldn't cross the street to pee on if their hair was on fire, but I will swerve my car across a six-lane highway to keep from hitting a squirrel.

As a result of this character flaw, I have never lived without a pet. In law school, I was so desperate for furry companionship I bought a guinea pig. Animals were not permitted in my apartment building, so I spent almost three years smuggling my contraband guinea pig in and out of 15 Hermann Street in a bowling bag.
