I have a golden retriever named Waffle. She is dumb as a randomly fired RPG, but I love her just the same, in fact, it is almost endearing, her amazing stupidity is. Then, there is Buffy the Beastly Jack Russel Terrier/Beagle. She is nice sometimes, but she has a tendency to bark a LOT, and freaks out when thunderstorms roll in, and it makes me want to pick that 50 pound dog up and see how far she flies from my arms (I fantasize about that every time she opens her miserable muzzle, but I still love her...deep down, that is). Of course, that would be both fatal for my 13 year old, frail, fatty tumor-covered, overweight Buffy, and probably illegal for me, so, I am not doing it anytime soon. Sometimes I lose my temper though and hit her, which makes me feel like a dumbhead and a freak, after the adrenaline stops pumping, and reminds me exactly why I will remain a lonely, miserable, unhappy man my entire life. No children for me, no wife for me, I would be too afraid of losing myself in anger and physically abusing them. But, who cares about my life, its pets we're worried about here. I used to have a hermit crab I named Heinz, after the ketchup brand, of course (I'm weird, I know). He was my home slice, always crawling around my most sensitive areas of my body, such as my ears and neck, with his painful clawed legs, and pinching the heck out of my finger whenever I tried to have a little fun with my buddy the crab. Despite that seemingly unhappy relationship, I loved that little crab, and I was sad when he suddenly decided to kick it. Anyway, I also owned a pair of gerbils, and they were cool while they lasted, but I am notoriously bad with keeping pets alive, and they succumbed to an unknown disease that made them deranged and cannibalistic...yuck-a-roo, it was a disgusting surprise when I came in the house to that awful smell of rotting flesh and spotted those dead buggers half eaten. Once again, anyway, what else did I own...? Oh yeah, some fish, and a rabbit. The rabbit was tight as all get out, I mean, it was an albino rabbit that could jump at least five times its height, how cool is that? What I always wanted in a pet was longevity, though. I cannot stand burying my pets, or waking up and finding them eaten or vanished from the face of the earth. So I might go with some koi, basically a large exotic species of goldfish, they can live a LONG time, up to two hundred years, and yeah, it would get boring with no interactive qualities to the koi's name, but at least I would have a pet that would outlast me. Okay, I have bored people long enough with this reply. See you all later, and peace.
Oh, and your dog is gorgeous, by the by. The yeti is...rather unterrifying, actually. I am kind of disappointed by that particular cryptid's looks.
