    Does it have to be a real pet or an imaginary one?
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.
    (Wisdom, Courage, Self-control, Justice)

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change

    Well you have both so it doesn't really matter...

    So something for your scary green eyed dog or nail wraps/nail varnish/lipstick ect for the Newt

    I am sure you can twist a win to fit too ;)
