No co-ed answer please. -_-

What animal would you like to own as a pet if money, time, space and all that jazz was not a problem. No fictional animals, no animals that went extinct before the 20th century.

I would like an Irish Wolfhound.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Short lifespan.

I wouldn't trade my current dog for any other dog, even when he is a pain in the ass.

Our cat really is the perfect pet - she takes care of herself mostly, doesn't wreck our stuff, is affectionate and playful.

Only drawback is she enjoys playing Hannibal Lecter with the mice outside.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.

I want 3. A slave girl, a dragon, and a dodo bird.

Affectionate towards *me*, anyway. Others risk body parts.

With your cabins in the woods and stuff you really need a larger pet than that Malthus.

Anyways, I don't get why one would have a "dream pet".  Dream implies it is unattainable.  But since Tim has excluded the pets that are truly impossible, any remaining pet is fairly attainable.  Even some very exclusive dog breeds, or horses, cost an amount of money that is certainly possible if one really values a certain pet.

Thats a long way of saying that my two dogs and a cat are my dream pets, because they are the pets I wanted to get, and I have.  Why would I dream about a, say, Irish Setter, and not get one?

A dog requires too much attention, it isn't a practical pet for someone who works at a professional type job full-time. My wife isn't as interested in pets and my son is too young to take care of one.

It isn't really fair to the dog to get one and not give it the attention it requires.

My dad had a pet monkey so i always wanted a pet monkey... in theory. in reality i know they're a pain in the ass and i couldn't tolerate one. Beyond that i never wanted an exotic pet.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
