? and the ??

It wasn't because #1-5 are so elderly.
It wasn't because #6 is on a short-term lease.
It wasn't because #8 has a small tumor.
It wasn't just because we miss #9.

And I admit, this time we didn't go to a shelter. (Hammond, Janet, Maudine, Henry, Elizabeth Joy, Almond, Sparrow, Tumble, Feta, Toss, Comet, Bonnet, Pepper, Stephen, Arthur, Snorre, Terry, June)

And this time we didn't search Craigslist. (Peter)

And the pet store wasn't going out of business in a bad part of town. (Sprinkle, Patricia, Holly)

And it wasn't a case of special needs. (Raisins, Susan)

Nor were we surprised by events put into motion before our time. (Helix, Owl, Bode, Milkdrop, Coal, Edith, Sherman)

It was just because we wanted them.
