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:
|
|
|
|
1. 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.
|
|
2. 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.
|
|
3. Somehow people take care of kids????
|
|
4. Ok, so a big animal won't work, but what about something small, like a fish or
|
|
something?
|
|
5. I research fish, and realize none of the options are interesting or would work in a
|
|
small tank.
|
|
6. Start looking at hermit crabs, realize I don't really have a good spot for a 10 gallon
|
|
tank, and then start looking elesewhere.
|
|
7. 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.
