I'm casually seeing a woman who has 1 cat, 5 kittens, 2 dogs (one an adorable 7 week old puppy) 1 pot bellied pig, and a ball python, plus I am the "god (dog) father" to a great Beagle Lab mix...I need no pets of my own (although, I paid for half of the puppy, so until she pays me back I'm a half owner of said puppy :) ).

Really sorry to hear that. I had a Labrador named Jake, and he was very important to my family.
Soon, I noticed he wasn't in the house anymore. I came out to look for him, and I saw a bunch of dogs and some people crowding over his dead body. He was apparently hit by a car, but it got away.

When I was a kid, we had this lab/Rottweiler mix named Indy. She was a good dog. She passed when I was around ten or so, so my memories of her have faded a little over the years. She spent most of her later years sunning herself. She passed on our back porch.

I had a hamster. He was always sitting at the gate in the mornings and when I came Jimenez from school. When he died, I was just off. I don’t think I’ll ever get over it.
For about a month, I was just really depressed. A lot more than I am now. It’s too heartbreaking. It’s so sad.

I would say yes but only if you genuinely spend time with them, clean them etc. If you just get one and stick it in a corner and forget about it than no.
Purpelia does not reflect my actual world views. In fact, the vast majority of Purpelian cannon is meant to shock and thus deliberately insane. I just like playing with the idea of a country of madmen utterly convinced that everyone else are the barbarians. So play along or not but don't ever think it's for real.
