Now keep in mind all the work that comes with having a pet, taking care of all its needs, cleaning up after it, and devoting enough time to it. All of these things differentiate with each unique animal you could choose from, so what animal is your dream pet, and how would you provide for and take care of it?

i have some neighbors around here who have some monkeys of their own. if you know how to take care of a tarsier, that will surely be a hit. so go for it, but first, you will have to go and have some training as to how to take care of it properly.

A monkey would be a great pet and I agree that you should go for it, but do make sure to prepare yourself with training first. I would guess monkeys could be a handful to take care of sometimes, but it would be worth it for such a great pet.

Yeah! Why get a vicious, man-eating attack dog, when you can get a tiger?! Any barking dogs at 2 a.m., and the tiger could go eat them! :-)

I would defintely have a cat. They are cute, affectionate, easy to take care of and very clean animals. They are also very good companions. I have 2 at the moment and they always like to come and see with me and purr, One really loves his tummy being rubbed which is so relaxing.

Its great that you already have the pet you dream of, perhaps you can add more to the happy family and get another cat.

it has always been a dog that i have wanted and cared for. i know that it is an ordinary thing to have a dog for a pet. but dogs can easily make their masters happy. they have happy attitudes and they make us know that they love us so much. whenever i come home from anywhere doing errands, i always come home to a very welcoming dog who tells me that he has missed me so much.

Dogs always make fantastic pets, friends, and even guardians. There are also just so many different breeds to choose from. They can be trained to be very loyal and protective and always have such unique personalities, they're just a joy to be around. A dog will make a great pet for you.

I would have a monkey like the type you see cranking the piano. I would have a monkey for a pet because they are capable of complex tasks.

I would have a very sweet, very affectionate, very soft, and very cuddly kitten. I'd give it lots of love and organic kitten food. :-)

A kitten would make a great pet and friend, you should definately get one, it sounds like you would take excellent care of it.

Yeah, as soon as I can afford one. Money for me right now is VERY tight. First I have to be able to afford the pet food and vet bills. Thanks, though! :-)
