Mary Margaret wants a cuddly, furry pet more than anything, but her mother can only think about her pregnancy, her father is allergic to dander, and her brother has his own teen problems. The situation looks hopeless, but Mary Margaret is not one to give up. She's an energetic, resourceful heroine, and her efforts to get a better pet than ants or a turtle prove hilarious.
