Anyone else never had a pet? And never getting one?

[lifeobry]

I've never had a pet so I don't know what I'm missing. But I don't want to find out either.

Having a pet seems like too much responsibility, money, and time. Plus the mess: poo, pee, hair, odors, yech. Plus the emotional heartache when they inevitably die.

Dogs, cats, iguanas.. who wants 'em? :hmm:

I do love animals though :awe:

Good luck ever being a relationship. You think having a pet is too much responsibility. Once I buy a house which should be in the next few months you best bet I'll have a dog. Preferably a beautiful Pit from the shelter.

I'm guessing you don't have any indoor plants either. Do you like camping? Kids?

My cats rock. They can be a pain in the ass, but I wouldn't trade them for anything.

Never had a pet but I always play with other people's pets.

I've had fish, but they died... Does that count as a pet?

 

[PieIsAwesome]

I've had many pets through my family. Never liked them, don't plan to ever have pets.

I guess I don't belong in this thread considering I have two dogs laying at my feet and a Sugar Glider on my shoulder at the moment.

I love pets.

I guess, I shouldn't really be in this thread then.

Screw pets.

Pets are like women; they rock when you pick a good one, but have been known to eat your soul if you choose poorly.

Get a parrot. Those things might even out live you.

In my household I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 rat, 1 turtle, 1 guinea pig, and an aquarium with 2 clown fish.

I sometimes regret getting a dog.. I can't just spontaneously go away for a day or two just like that without first getting hold of a pet sitter etc. Otherwise I can only be away for 6-7 hours at most. He's 3.5 now..when he was younger I could only be away for an hour or two.

On the other hand the company dogs provide is invaluable. They're sometimes better than human friends...
