I’m few times told that I don’t like pets.
I had a doberman for 13 years in flat in city, and it was torture for me and my mother.
He had 40 kgs and pulling like he has 100.
My poor mother many times could fall on ice while she walked him, when I couldn’t…
It was my brother’s dog and he never thought that was a burden for us, as he went abroad.
I like animals. Don’t eat them, and if my neighbour is busy, I’m happy to take care for his dog for a few hours.
But I don’t believe in attachment any more.
What I want to say is that I like animals free.
I’m pigeon lover. They are free. You feed them and watch them fly.
I have two collar birds that I feed.
I take care for them, finding different food and don’t expect any gratitude.
Those birds are clean, and they call when they are hungry.
Not to write longer, I just don’t like bounding and that’s it.
yes, we recently lost a dog. rooroo, she was an elderly dog of fourteen, and diabetic…we miss her every day. something will remind us of something about her and it makes us still sad. we lost our other dog, Phideaux, a black lab, great pyrenees mix. both great dogs…now we still have young dogs, missy and max. they will probably be with us the rest of our years…we don’t want to die and have dogs not being able to be taken care of by us. this will be our last dogs.
I love guinea pigs, they can “talk” and have different sounds when they are hungry, happy, angry and they can be very tame.
But i don’t want to have one, ( a 54 year old bachelor with SZ and a guinea pig is the quintessence of a geek, imagine you have a date with a woman and tells her you have SZ and besides that a guinea pig)
@bluebutterfly I have two boar guinea pigs- Blessing Pig and Riddle (The Piggy Who Shall Not Be Named). They are great company. Very sweet. Before I had boys, I had two sows who lived to be 7 years old.
I have experience with a variety of dogs, and I agree that they can be challenging. Puppies are much more difficult than adults. I have a one year old Maremma mix and a 12 week old Saint Bernard. It is so much work. Our Maremma is settling down, housetrained, and generally a good boy except on walks, but our Saint Bernard is all accidents, biting, socializing and training, and destruction. Luckily, she’s low-key, but it is still A LOT! Our Maremma was more difficult than she is in that 1. He bit hard enough to draw blood and continued to do so until recently and 2. He didn’t have a buddy to play with, and combined with no yard, he was one frustrated guy with a bunch of pent-up energy. 3. He is a giant breed and pulls hard enough on the leash that I can’t physically walk him, nor can my daughter.
Before these two, I would get adults. I’d generally get retired show dogs or young adults who were still competing or were good for competition. They generally came to me leash trained, crate trained, socialized, and easy to handle. It was really great. If you want a dog but don’t want a huge hassle, I’d recommend 1. getting an adult that is 4 or older (rescues can tell you all about their personalities!) 2. getting one that’s smaller so you don’t have to worry about pulling. 3. getting one with some training under its belt (again- rescues!). And if going potty outside in a harsh climate or a physical ailment is a problem, a small dog can be potty pad trained. I use puppy pads in my Saint’s pen if I can’t keep an eye on her. She’s over 20 lbs and it doesn’t leak through.
I don’t like pets.
Yesterday the stray cat we feed
made a vomit in the yard.
What if a cat pet threw up in the house?
I absolutely cannot take care of it
I am trying to rehome my German shepherd right now. Got her as emotional support animal but over time I have become less and less able to handle or take care of her- often end up getting scared of her if I am in the wrong headspace or get extremely angry which is not good. She is very attached to me which makes me feel bad, I hope I can find a good home. I have been trying to find someone who wants to take a shepherd for months…
