These bumps though.
Oh well, I may as well post my unpopular opinion: I don't like pets.
Maybe I just lack a sense of responsibility, but I don't want to have to look after another life like that. I don't want to clean up after it, get it trained, pay unnecessarily expensive vet bills, replace the furniture, have to deal with the constant noise (if it's a dog). At least children learn to talk and feed themselves eventually. Pets just stay the same forever.
Sure, they can give you love and companionship and all that, but it seems like too little a reward for all the effort one has to put in. Plus, I barely remember to feed myself sometimes.
