A pet you would NEVER have!
 
On the same line as my other thread. ;)

Me? DOGS. ANY KIND. I hate dogs. They're disgusting to me, and I'm scared of them anyways. Yes, I'm weird. But they freak me out and smell bad, IMO. :p

I also would never have a ferret! Those things smell horrible. And I don't think they're cute at all.

I would never have a snake. I am not scared of them and I don't mind being around them when guys have them, but they are just boring. All they do is sit there. Plus, if you had a little one and it got out, it could get stuck in a heat vent or something. That would be totally gross.

I love dogs and cats - they have so much personality and are lots of fun to play with!

There was a pet store near me that had two snakes in a huge habitat. One was 19 foot albino and the other was 20 feet long . . . Freaky.

WOW! But I think the big ones are less scary, because you never lose track of where they are. Did they have creepy pink eyes?

Rabbits, guinea pigs, and tarantulas.

I'll have dogs, cats, and/or fish, but never the above.

AOIIsilver 05-28-2004 08:25 PM

Big snakes. Yuck.

Rabbits- they're cute, but crazy

Any of the following breeds of dogs: Poodle, chihuahua, beagle, lhasa apso, yorkie, basically any tiny little yappy dog

Anything with more than 4 legs- creepy

Snakes- not scared of them, but don't feel the need to have one

Ferrets- stinky and mean

Monkeys- they're just as perverse as people are

Hamsters and gerbils- evil

Guinea pigs- too timid

I know what you mean. One of my rabbits used to do cart wheels in the house. You could barely see her when she got going. Maybe it's because she bit into some of our tv wires.

Another rabbit used to think she was a dog, she would come when called and would beg.

Though rabbits are adorable I have to suggest another reason not to get one, they have terrible immune systems! Even after shots and stuff! All, but one, died of different diseases, all of which the Vet never heard of. :(

Noooooo! They're great fun. I have a hammie and I LOVE her. :) Oh well, to each her own. :)

Dogs! I detest them with every fiber of my being, and I'm afraid of them. (I'm also extremely allergic to them, but I guess that doesn't really count as a reason, because there are animals that I'm allergic to that I wish I owned.)

A Random DphiE 05-29-2004 12:04 AM

ANYTHING with feathers!!!

i am mortified of birds!

:(

Glad I'm not the only one. I HATE THEM. I've yet to find a dog I like. They just seem gross to me, not to mention scary.

Jill1228 05-29-2004 12:21 AM

NO rodents, snakes or insects! No pit bulls either

We should love our feathered friends. :)

swissmiss04 05-29-2004 01:15 AM

tarantula

CatStarESP4 05-29-2004 01:18 AM

Parrots (too noisy and my future kids could fight over it)
Snakes
Rats
Certain dog breeds
Hairless cats (don't get me started on this tirade!!!)

Sister Havana 05-29-2004 01:54 AM

No reptiles, rodents, or insects for me. No birds either. I will stick with my dog. :)

DZHBrown 05-29-2004 01:58 AM

Any kind of reptile or bug is out for me. Yuck.

I don't necessarily dislike cats, but I can't breathe around them. So, I would never own one!

nucutiepie 05-29-2004 02:45 AM

Cats. They dislike me and I dislike them, and am also really allergic to them.

Hamsters, Rats, Mice, Guinea Pigs... anything rodent like.

Snakes.

Birds... carry diseases.

I'm a huge dog person though... I LOVE THEM.

AlphaFrog 05-29-2004 10:14 AM

Millipede...yes I know someone who had one for a pet, bought it from the pet store and everything...my question...WHY?

Any other kind of bug...they belong either outside or squished on the bottom of my shoe

mmcat 05-29-2004 12:12 PM

spiders or snakes

smiley21 05-29-2004 12:12 PM

reptiles and insects....they are evil

Rio_Kohitsuji 05-29-2004 12:13 PM

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I am HORRIFIED of them!!! Why on EARTH would anyone want one as a pet????

ztawinthropgirl 05-29-2004 12:32 PM

No rodents, reptiles, or bugs. I also will never own a cat. I hate dumping the litter when it needs to be dumped and I am allergic to them.

I used to be highly scared of dogs. Now, I just hate the yappy ones and the really big ones that have bad reps like Rot Rilers (spelling?) and Doberman Pinchers.

I do want a Rat Tail Terrier. They are the cutest things that I have ever seen in my life! They are smart and very good with children. They love to play and to be paid attention to but they are able to play by themselves if needed. When I used to have one, it was potty-trained to go outside within a week. Amazing!

Awww, it sucks that Rottweilers and Dobermans have such bad reps... I've actually never met a mean one! It's all in how you train them, but I can understand why people are automatically afraid of them. However, I've met some rather mean little terriers in my day!

A Clam. Every try to walk a clam?

They're easier to walk than lobsters. Just tape a string to the clams shell, and he'll slide anywhere you want. Try that with a lobster.

RxyChrldr 05-29-2004 03:15 PM

I used to detest little dogs ("rat dogs" I would call them..) because I had two rottweilers who I loved, but I just got a new puppy because my rotts live with my mum ( no way i can have them in a 1 bdrm apt!) and he's amazing..doesn't EVER bark..and he's a toy chihauaha. He's a short-haired black and tan..everything I love about my rotties in a smaller, purse-sized package :)http://img22.photobucket.com/albums/...chrldr/5r-.jpg

My brother put his fish and some water in a plastic baggie and took it for a walk...

I won't have any reptiles, they are okay to look at, but not as pets for this girl. Same as arachnids or any insect. Not a fan of birds either.

My neighbors have a pet GOOSE :eek:. They told the landlady the Latin name, she just though it was an exotic bird. The goose wears diapers indoors, and she paddles about in the bathtub. When we work in the garden goose helps eat the weeds. They are thinking of getting a kiddie pool for her to play in when we're outside. She is molting now and and there are feathers all over the parking lot. Yay for a college town in a farming community and people bring their FFA & 4-H projects home!

I am complete agreement.

Also, never would have a pet spider, or pet bird. Birds would be annoying.

I would Never. Ever. get a pet spider. Deathly afraid of them. Besides, bugs are not pets.

I won't get a big dog, or at least not for a while. I can't forsee myself living anywhere big enough for that kind of dog any time soon. I wouldn't get one unless I could give it the space it needs to run around and stuff.

No birds. I had a quail when I was in kindergarten, and it did not impress me. Same with hamsters: had 11 of them at one point (one had babies), and that was uncool. Lots of cage cleaning. Maybe it would have been better if I had just had the one.
