Pets are a lot for sure, and you shouldn’t have them if you don’t have the capacity or bandwidth to care for them. That being said, my pets have drastically helped my mental health. I can’t imagine what going through the quarantine would have been like without them.
My dog died between Christmas and New Year’s 2020, the two years before I got another were the darkest I’ve had in my life. I need a pet.
You are missing out on opportunities to have poop in interesting locations of your house.
You mean poop in interesting unknown locations I, an adult, can poop in locations way more interesting than any animal or child.
Really? Can you fit in the AC vents to poop in there?
And think of the vomit!
And hair on every surface your pet can conceivably reach
not feeling obligated to clean up someone else’s poo is a really enjoyable life quality.
Look, I can barely take care of myself some days.
Honestly, the cat helps me on that front. And unlike a child, I can ethically just give her some drugs and turn the TV when I don’t feel like dealing with her right that minute.
I get it, I really do. And come time to say final goodbyes, the pain is almost unbearable. But man, waking up to finding out you’re in the middle of a furry sleepstack with warm, fuzzy friends who purr and cozily nuzzle up to you on a cold winter’s night is something else entirely. Wouldn’t want to miss it for anything.
Oh, and kids are allright, I guess.
Have a cat, was planned. Feel obligated cause i rescued her ass 8 years ago, and she’s really easy and low maintenance.
The big dog i have was rescued after an elderly family member passed away and there was no one else to take her in.
I love her to pieces but i definitely wont be getting another 60 pound+ dog in a 3 floor walk up! 😩
“Darling, do you remember when we said, before we have kids we should have a pet and before that a plant to see if we can handle the responsibility?”
“Yes, sure! Why do you bring that up?”
“Well, the basile withered again.”I like to plant trees I will never stand under.
What does that mean?
It means he likes to have lots of NSA sex without a condom.
I have a kid and want a dog
I am overwhelmed constantly by responsibilities
And yet
Leave my CatDog out of your catlady discussion, please.
YOLO, make it a full one.
Don’t live life as a grass eater.
I like taking care of kids, pets and eating edibles just fine, thanks.
I don’t eat any grass. I eat leaves that are green (spinach for instance), but not grass.
