The thought keeps sticking with me - I really want a dog. I have had them my whole life, in some way or another (at home while I was at college, roommate owned some after school, etc).

It occurred to me that I don't know what kind of pets any of YOU have, other than a few exceptions.

Who has what?

Is that your favorite type of pet?

Did you adopt a stray/shelter pet? Or buy from a breeder?

What is your pet's name?

Is it a good pet?

This is going to be a horrible question, but: would you make a different decision now?
