Let me begin by writing a disclaimer: I don’t hate pets. But I don’t love them either. You can say I just don’t really want to take care of them.

Enter my dilemna.

I am outnumbered at the house 3:1. All of them want pets except me. I have no choice but to give in. Of course, I am sly enough to employ as many delaying tactics as I can. It will definitely be a small pet, even if we are going to be going with a dog. They are actually excited to have a dog but I am sure I would be in charge for dog housebreaking so I am dreading it. I have been trying to get them excited in the advantages of just taking care of a bid – with beautiful bird cages and less expensive bird food but they are falling on deaf ears. We all said no to cats because it meant litterboxes.

The little lady we have in the house is very very (you can multiply that by 100) excited with acquiring a guinea pig but I am sure it will die with us in 48 hours. According to Shopwiki’s Guinea Pig Pet Care Guide, guinea pigs are not used to being handled (in this case, man-handled), translated to, no cuddling. That would be impossible for my little girl.

So I guess it will be a dog?
