thanks everyone, and thanks harleymom for the article.
i know i def dont want gerbils. my sisters have had a few, and theyre tempermental and not very nice. every single one has hated to be held. my sister actually has to put on a ski mitten to get it out of the cage because it bites. no matter how they try to condition them and hold them, theyre just mean.
BF doesnt really want a pet, but he would say yes to fish...uh, fish are hard to keep. even fresh water fish die at my hands. plus theyre expensive to set up, etc.
we had a puppy once, and i think thats why hes anti pets. mr scampers was posessed by the devil. he refused to be potty trained, he ate the sofa, and he bit the dickens out of me. i spent so much time with him trying to train him, and i did everything possible to condition him not to bite. it got to the point where we were fighting constantly about him, and i would cry all the time. we took him to a no kill shelter (after much debate and heartache) and he was adopted by a family with a farm.
my familys dog passed away this summer, and my family just isnt ready for another dog yet. i think mice would be the perfect short term pet for us. now i just have to convince BF.
