| Why Everytime I Think About Getting a Pet I get a Plant | James Pace | 2024/02/27 |
Every once in a while, particularly during the late winter when the seasonal depression really starts to hit, I start really wanting a pet. My thought process is fairly repeatable and can be easily summed up here as:
- I live in a small apartment and I wouldn't feel right trapping a dog or cat in my apartment all day, so I can't get one of those.
- Even if I wasn't worried aboutt the size, I'm not at my apartment enough to take care of one during the work week.
- Somehow people take care of kids????
- Ok, so a big animal won't work, but what about something small, like a fish or something?
- I research fish, and realize none of the options are interesting or would work in a small tank.
- Start looking at hermit crabs, realize I don't really have a good spot for a 10 gallon tank, and then start looking elesewhere.
- Start looking at worms or ants.
Unfortunately, I live in a small apartment and don't have the space to properly take care of a cat or dog so I don't buy one.
