Like, I keep seeing these kind of posts about owning pets, and most says that they're good despite not being able to talk with them, or not getting attention from then except when they're asking to be fed or play with.
Speaking for myself, the only pet I've truly had for myself and brought home by myself was my puppy Luna (Sep 2003 - Feb 2018) and all of the others (Oso-2004-2019 / Théo-2019-? / Kiki-2019-? / Luna-2021-? / Bamboo-2023-? and Crucio-2009-2022 / Imperio-2009-?) have been brought by sisters and parents but I'm still the one taking care of them.
Why all this info? Well, because I want to make clear that I don't own pets because I feel lonely or because I want responsibilities... I own pets because there's nobody else to take care of them.
So, for instance, people gets pets because they just want company in their lives, no? So that's good for them.
But to me, it's a whole different matter, because I didn't asked for these responsibilities, and yet I'm having them.
Fucking spending money everyday in extra food, vet when they get sick (veeeeery rare (probably 1 visit every 3 or 5 years?) which means I'm doing a great job) and shampoo, and picking their stinky shit and cleaning pee every day and... just to get screamed/barked/hissed at?
Like, bitch I brought one dog home once and I was 9 years old
Despite all the bullshit, I do love them stupid hairy asses and bonking them heads once or twice everyday.
Now, I can't help but wonder why, despite that, pets are good?
What's in your opinion that reason why pets are good?
EDIT: Yes, I'm realizing I'm the male equivalent of Crazy Cat Lady... except they're dogs and turtles instead.
