I think it was mostly the exposure at the zoo was my, my mother certainly was not interested in anything to do with animals, domestic or otherwise. And my dad was too busy working to worry about it, but I always had this love, although I was not allowed, we lived in a one room apartment. And so, there was certainly no room for animals and my mom didn’t ever encourage animals, and then when we moved to a larger home near Des Plaines, again, she had no interest in having any animals in the house of any kind.
