“No, we cannot keep a puppy. Who would play with her all day when we’re asleep? It wouldn’t be fair to her.” More truly, Lestat was concerned about the inevitable damage to their home during the day, and, that Claudia might get hungry one night and kill the poor animal herself. This had happened before with a rabbit, she spent nights sobbing remorsefully over it, and none of them needed to endure that again.
