I have two dogs and a canary. One of the dogs is a puppy and his energy is more than mine. They say he will out-grow it, and I hope he does soon. He makes me laugh and that's good.

I have no pets. Nothing in my house is alive except for me. This way I can lock it up and leave anytime I want to visit my kids and the grands. Nothing to feed, water, walk or clean up after.

I no longer have any pets but I do look after my son's dog during the week and that suits me fine. All the pleasure but no vet bills etc.

I have 2 Maltese and besides my kids they are the most important thing to me. I would be lonely without them and will never be without a dog.

I gave up having any more pet cats pets, when I got my first ride in an ambulance to the hospital. Pets would depend on me to provide food, etc., and if I'm not there..............

That is a valid concern and worry.

Indeed. Pets are an important responsibility. People who think they can't properly care for the animal should not have it, IMO.

MY last cat Beau went over the bridge abt 8 months ago, and
I do really miss him, and miss having any cats around, but i know that I'd have a hard time caring for pets now, no car for
vet trips, unable to get up and down to play with them or clean
up after them....so as much as I'd love to have the companionship it is just not smart to do so, I make up for it my
own way, by rescuing strays and feeding the squirrels LOL....

How do you have a chicken indoors? You must clean up after her every time she poops. Chicken manure is pretty 'fowl'
My dog and I are same as you and your dog. We cuddle up a lot with a big warm blanket. It's heavenly

I'm not living alone at this point and we have an 11 year old cat and a 15 year old dog, but I've already decided that when the dog goes, we won't be replacing him even though we've never been without a doggy friend. But my daughter already has 3 dogs and a cat and now soon two toddlers so if something were to happen to us, I wouldn't feel good expecting her to take our fur kids on and the idea of them going to live with strangers...... so they'll be our last too.
Pets are just the greatest delight! I think they are Angels sent to us and one of the best gifts we can have

I didn't think I'd get a pet for at least another 8 years because I wanted to be free to go where and when I wanted for as long as I wanted. But our fur baby chose us. There are 24 patios in our complex. She came to and stayed on ours. For me, it was love at first sight; my son knew it and teased me about it. He even photographed me with the silly grin on my face while I watched her outside and bet someone it wouldn't be long before I brought her inside.
She was skittish about letting us near her, although she happily accepted the food and water we put out for her. But I tricked her, caught her and brought her inside. That was Labor Day weekend 2022. Now she rules the house
and we can't imagine life without her. She provides so much fun entertainment. Deja, sitting next to the printer and deciding to be good for about three minutes, so I can use the computer without interruption.
Otherwise, she's batting at my fingers or the keyboard or trying to jump up on me with her claws out.

There is an orange cat that is in the 'hood that will visit with'
me when it wants to, I think it belongs to someone that just
lets it out whenever it wants....it will come in the house and lets me pet it....so wish I could have another, but not at this age......
