Do you like pets? ............. and if yes which is your favorite animal as a pet
I like pets already having 2 Dog Both are Boxer and they are very comical and pretty dozy too

Pets should be like furniture. Or well behaved kids, seen and not part of my visit to your house, unless I give the pet my attention, it (nor the owner) should not ask for me to give attention to the pet. (Bratty attention starved kids suck to be around) I am 52 years old have 3 kids and a grandchild and haven't had a pet for over 20 years. Pets need attention and they eat up my freedom. They take away from my time to make money and they cost money, If I sat around the house all the time and didn't ever go anywhere, that changes everything. I love animals, just don't have time to be a "keeper". Some people don't understand my way of thinking.

I like other peoples pets. I can go to their house and hold, pet, play with them. Then at the end of the day, I can go home and do not have to feed, shelter, or care for it.

If you have a dog that barks nonstop, I don't like your dog.
If I come over to your place and it jumps all over me and won't leave you alone, I don't like your dog.

I like pets, especially dogs. Unfortunately, our dog died before Thanksgiving.

But we still have two guinea pigs, two bunnies and a multitude of fish. They are all OK except when it's time to clean up their poop.

I'm surprised you handled 3 kids. No matter how well behaved they eat up a lot of time and money.

A friend of mine had a couple of African Dwarf Frogs & I thought they were pretty cool. They just swim around a little tank, about as low maintenance as you can get!

Unfortunately, I haven't seen them at any stores. Would anybody know where I could get my hands on some of these little guys?!

I have a 1.5 y/o Vizsla. She's pretty awesome. A bummer sometimes to have to go home after work to feed her and let her out, but definitely glad to have a dog. It's a responsibility but very rewarding.
