ive only really had fish but ther enothing close to a buddy like, something like a dog or a cat. pets are also pricey and im allergic to cats and dogs plus my home is kinda messy. i do wish i could get something besides a fish but you know it is what it is.

so what type of pet do you have or what is the best type of pet to have?

    You should work on taking care of yourself/your home before moving to another life that relies fully on you.

        With that said, I think that a companion pet can often help one make those changes. Since it sounds like money and allergies are a bit of an issue, I would suggest looking at rats. They are incredibly loyal and affectionate, clean, intelligent. They only live about 2-3 years, which sucks, but if you find that pet ownership isn’t for you (and it’s okay if it isn’t), you aren’t beholden to an animal that will live 4-5 times as long.

          Rats are ace.

          As I type this, there’s one scuttling about in his cage next to me. It pains me that he’s alone, but his brothers have all passed away now, and we aren’t planning on getting any more once Wilbur’s shuffled along. He’s getting old now, so it wouldn’t be fair to rehome him. So he’s a grumpy old bachelor boy who still loves his Cheerios and stealing my toast in the morning.
