my roomate worked nights i worked days. so one of us was always home
He literally tried to open doors and got frustrated when he couldn't reach the handles.
my cat leanred how to open doors
might get a Labrador Retriever, a brown one
so i had to lock the door when i used the bathroom
XD
honestly pets are only really ideal if you live suburban or rural.
Mine can open doors it's very annoying
@Leif_Ericksson99 I think that might be a good choice
@Xychotic I wouldn't really call a barn cat or a hunting dog livestock
Would you call a plow horse livestock?
idk I've never dealt with horses. I just don't see how geographical location turns them into commodities and not pets
That's a lot of typing for a yes or no question.
I didn't say commodity. I said livestock.
That's because, in a rural setting, a "pet" is a value add to your homestead.
I am from a rural area and I agree with @Xychotic
In an urban/suburban setting, a pet is a luxury.
I grew up on a farm and always considered the dog/cat/goats pets
The cows and horses livestock
Dogs didn't heard or anything
@Whats gay anymore We used to treat cows as pets too when I was a kid, but they gave of some milk
@Whats gay anymore how was that?, one of my goals is to move to a semi-rural area and have a small family farm
Still livestock
Loved it
is livestock and pet mutually exclusive?
Well our dogs gave us company and that was it 🤷 I'll call them pets
Yes.
A hunting dog though, I wouldn't call a pet
livestock has real utility; pets are a luxury
@DankChum No, lambs where treated like pets too, still ate them though
Granted, you would probably love the shit out of your hunting dog.
No one I know with a hunting dog loves it
Really?
They go down to boars all the time
They're tossed away
It's sad
like I'd love a friend but that doesn't mean I wouldn't run his pockets when he dies
Oh, boars are fuckin' nuts, though.
same goes for pigs
