Went out for dinner in mid-post, ended up crashing afterwards. It was a good evening.
Anyway,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
squeemu asked me about pets - whether or not I have one, whether or not I want one. I do not currently have a pet. We don't have the time, room or energy for one right now; besides, we can't have a dog while we're living where we are now. We could have a cat, but I seem to have developed a severe cat allergy and can't be around one for more than an hour without regretting it for days after. It's a shame, because if the allergy wasn't an issue, I'd love to have a cat someday; I grew up with both dogs and cats and I love them both.
I am still hoping to have a dog someday. I don't have any preference for what kind of dog we'd get; all I would ask is that we adopt from a shelter or an organization that takes care of abandoned dogs, because I don't want to support the breeding and sale of purebred dogs. We'll probably end up getting a medium-sized dog or larger; if we ever do decide to foster/adopt an abandoned purebred dog, my partner would probably push for a pug or a shar-pei. I'd just as soon have a mutt, myself.
(Side note: My partner used to joke about getting a pet raccoon if we ever have a house of our own, but has since rethought that decision. It's for the best. They're adorable, but very destructive.)
