We're going to have a long engagement so that we can get to a place where we can actually DO this. We'll probably hop up to Canada, spend our honeymoon there, and continue life in (insert state here.)
@ Hyena: Okie. I can see the reasoning in that: cats are nice and quiet (unless you're unlucky and get a hyperactive one)--well, until you step on their tail--and cuddlier. And with little kids, they tend to grab the cat's tail as a handle, and kitty doesn't like that.
Well, seeing as her gran's attic doesn't exist, no. xDD
Taiyo: Its more that me and Liz are cat people. Every once in awhile she says "kids are cute and there are times when I want one." But that's normally once in a month and only after she's been helping someone babysit.
I'm half cat person half dog person. Which sucks because I've got allergies, and what makes it worse is that almost ALL of my family members have a dog.
Hey, my roomies are married and they're very happy with raising cats (not sure if I should include myself in that or not. They often count me as one of the cats...).
I like both cats and dogs though none of my friends (including boyfriend) are dog people! Growl! And, as of recently, I have now been viciously attacked by members of both species and I still love both species. (Though maybe not those two particular animals.)
I may not be the brightest bulb in the chandelier, but... I do believe that being attacked by anything is bad. o_o
The only reason I'm not so up on getting a dog (at least for now) is because my roommate has a pit bull puppy that he pretty much bought on a whim. Its been kind of the source for my misery because he doesn't take care of her and I end up buying her food. He didn't think it through. >____>
*lasers bounce off* Well I suppose if it's a double pimp, then it might not be cool, but in the case of some threads, you should tell your friends, so that they can find them. That's all.

That's terrible! You should always think very hard before buying a pet, especially one as high maintenance as a dog. I hate to say it, but if he isn't going to take care of her, he should consider giving her away now while she's still a puppy and has the cute factor in her favor.
That might not be so easy with a pit. a lot of people have this kind of prejudice against them, as violent dogs. It's bs, but you know, people are dumb sometimes.
Yeah, they are sweet loving dogs, but people think of them as being vicious. And we told him that if he should ever need to get rid of her for any reason that it was going to be tough to find a home. They're legal in this state, but that doesn't mean the prejudice doesn't exist. >>
And he was talking about breeding her, which I was like 'oh-hell-to-the-no.' Because: 1, there is NO way he's doing that in MY fourth-floor apartment EVER; 2, he can't take care of ONE puppy, imagine a litter; and 3, his breeder had to sell her at-cost because the market for breeding dogs is saturated in this state, particularly pits. >____>
I have like... a million rants about Joel. But, honestly, I don't care anymore. I want him out asap, but I'll be putting up with him while he's here for the next six months.
He actually does pay rent, so our rent would go up another $50 if he left without paying supplement. Cutting off his food supply was supposed to get him to volunteer his way out of living here, but once he learned that he would have to pay us or face court costs, he started moving his stuff back into his tiiiiiny little room.
But other than that (which we would be happy to pay that extra 50 if it meant that he was gone) there's no reason. We're going to try and see how long he lasts on our no-money-no-food policy. It made Jason and Corrina crack, and Joel is not a tough egg.
