What animal would you like to have as a pet?

Weekly Topic: What animal would you like to have as a pet?

Aspen Kumagai

I’ve been very lucky to have lived with a dog and two cats. I spent many blessed years with them. I also had to put up with their antics. One cat especially was too clever and got herself into trouble nearly every day! She was always getting stuck inside the sofa or trapped in drawers.

If I could choose my next pet, I think I would want something a little calmer. I also want to think about my lifestyle and how that might affect my pet.

I like traveling so I need a pet that’s small and easy to carry. I’d also need a pet that is sort of lazy and enjoys snuggling while I watch movies or play games. Since I live in an apartment I would also need a pet that is quiet.

Not everyone is a big fan of rodents such as mice but I think they’re cute. I love their little noses and ears!

I sometimes think about owning a rabbit too. /(=⌒x⌒=)\ They look like sweet and lovable pets.

Putting all my requirements aside, I’ve always wondered what having a fox would be like! I know they’re a lot of work and they’re difficult to take care of. It wouldn’t be possible for me at all!

It’s probably best if I stick to watching online videos of pets instead.
