Give it a few days. Once your weather cools a bit, you'll not be as distressed by it.

Better that irresponsible people who want a pet have an indestructible option than that they purchase a living creature and neglect it to death.

Now wouldn't it be nice if buying blow-up children were as pleasurable as making real kids is?
