Eh, dogs are alright...
I'll be honest--dogs are better pets, but I preferred keeping fish...
Maybe it's something to the fact I'm not one for being overly-affectionate and hyper with a dog, and fish are equally apathetic...or, if you don't like me, they have just as short a memory span? ;)
It just was convenient, I like the different types, one dies you buy another, they don't really care about me, I don't care too-too much about them, I feed them, they make the room look nice and give me something calming to look at besides a blank wall if I ever want to sit quietly and think or read with music, which I do...
So I'm just a cold-blooded bastard, I guess, and utterly unrelatable
