Assuming time, money, living situation, and the law wasn’t a factor. I’d love a skunk. I’d name her Oreo and i’d love her and she’d be my best friend.
Right before I was born, my mom had a pet skunk named Petunia. She loved her and talked about her all the time growing up.
tbh, I’d rather be the pet.
You guys get to choose your pets? All of mine just invite themselves in the house and then decide they live there now. I’m not complaining about the situation, but I don’t exactly remember having much choice in the matter.
An American nazi. And I’d abuse the shit out of him!
I’ll stick with my dog family
I also choose your dog. /s
Understandable. She’s a high-quality, purebred stray from Croatia.
A service dog so to speak. I’m at her service all the time. Snacks? Yes ma’am. Hug? You got it.
The other one is a Polish stray of the finest quality as well.
I wouldn’t settle for less than a rescue, they’re simply the best.
My dogs. Because I loved them, and still do.
I don’t really have any firm beliefs in an afterlife, but if there is one and my dogs aren’t waiting for me there, I’d prefer oblivion. Please and thank you.
My dog Denver, who died a couple years ago. She was so awesome, my little buddy. Lived 18 great years, miss her every day.
Sorry for your loss. I’m sure she knew nothing but a life full of love.
Dragon. And anyone who says otherwise isn’t being completely honest with themselves. Everyone wants a dragon.
Can I have a dog-sized dragon? Smaug would not fit in our living room and our budget can’t manage dozens of sheeps every week.
What about an aboleth or a tarrasque? Either one would be pretty cool.
Hells, I’d take a flumph.
- Fox (they are so cute)
- Cheetah (pretty and pretty chill)
- Snow Leopard (beautyful fluffy cats)
Almost no species makes a good pet so I’m going to stick with my dog.
assuming no ethical implications of keeping wild animals captive for your own personal entertainment.
Hmm, so the vegan version would go something like: if you could live with any animal in it’s native habitat, which one would it be?
Can I have a pet human or is that too problematic?
Is this some consensual sex thing? If so, will you care for them and love them?
On the advice of my legal counsel, I am choosing to invoke my fifth amendment rights.
In that case, yes it’s problematic.
I have answered this the same way every time I’ve been asked:
A great big fuck-off raven.
Like one you could ride?
I’d have my cat. If the devil came acallin’ I’d sell my soul for me and the lil guy to be immortal. I could spend eternity in his company and it wouldn’t be enough.
Me too. We’re having to put our little guy to sleep tonight, he’s too ill. They’re pretty sure it’s cancer, but he’s not stable enough for diagnosis let alone treatment. The poor guy’s had basically a soda can’s worth of fluid drained from his chest cavity twice in the last 2 months.
My sincerest sympathies. You can comfort yourself with the fact that you’re doing the right thing for him by ending his illness and whatever discomfort/pain there may be.
We had to do the same with our little guy last year. He had kidney problems, and we gave him a saline drip twice a day for about a year. He never complained. But at a certain point you have to consider that you’re just prolonging their suffering, as hard as that is to accept.
I, also, choose this guy’s cat.
That’s so cute.
You haven’t considered the horrific things that would undoubtedly happen, especially given infinite time, if you were to follow through on that sale.
For the sake of good taste and sanity, I won’t list any here, but I’m sure your imagination can fill in the gap.
Capybara. Self-explanatory. It’d chill with me and my dogs.
I got to meet a couple capybaras on a cruise excursion. At one point someone in the crowd got rowdy and upset the male, who had to huddle in a corner and stare at a wall to calm down.
It was sad that we made him uncomfortable, but also pretty cute to watch him sulk.
They’re so cute. Fuck whoever upset the lil guy.
