    In college, for a while I had two roommates in one room of the fraternity. One of the roomies adopted a Great Dane named Bruce. It was like having an additional one-and-a-half roommates.

    Still, Bruce was far more welcome than the third roommate.

    A dog, preferably a west highland terrier. I know some people will say that its a boring choice, but I'm naturally allergic to dogs and furry animals.

    If you haven't ever had a dog, it's a great experience to get in to. I treat all animals like children though.

    I'm surprised no one has mentioned the formidable Sugar Glider. It fits in the palm of your hand, it's small and fluffy, and, it ****ing flies.

    An octopus, definitely.

    Not necessarily a giant land-dwelling one, just a regular, run of the mill Occy, in a big aquarium.

    This is my dream pet. :love:

    [​IMG]

    Her name is Sugar Raye (or, when she's being a meanie-head, Sugar-Booger), and if you are a fan of boxing, you might know that we named her after a famous boxer. Unsurprisingly, she is of the Boxer breed.
    She turned five in April, and she is the best pet dog friend that anyone could ever ask for.

    One day, I would like to own an American Akita.

    But because Akitas are fiercely loyal and fiercely territorial (like pitbulls and rottweilers, Akitas are on the high-risk list), they do not do well in apartment settings, which is where I will be living for the next decade or so... I will have one, one day though!

    These are all amazing pets ! an octobus would be awsome but, as I am not a good swimmer I think a fantsy type land dweller of the average size would be best for me. a dragon might be a little hard to take care of but I would differntly be up for one. I could fly to school and cook an entire chicken in a quarter of a second ahh yeah that would be great. The flying squirel thing reminds me of the pet on samurai champloo and that thing was soo cute I woud love to have a real life version. the akita I had never heard of such a dog but, it looks so cute and freidly who knew it is so fecious. I think the best quality in a pet is loyalty so a dog is alway my top pick.

    I would want a bandersnatch.

    Not Carroll's bandersnatch. Niven's.

    Agreed.
    Or just a real Elmer. That'd be so cool.

    I want a mutt. Just a shepherd mix of some kind. A medium sized dog with pointed yet floppy ears and a smart, lovable personality. His name will be Rico. This is my plan for when I have enough money to care for a dog responsibly.

    As for the moment? My best bud's name is Pookie Bear and he's basically a dog in a cat's body. Transspeciesed?
