Yes. Get a rock. You are incapable of taking care of yourself and now you want the added responsibility of taking care of another living thing? :thatsright:

Maybe I should get a pet. Any ideas?...
Last edited Sun Sep 22, 2013, 03:58 AM USA/ET - Edit history (2)
Pet's help a lot of emotional difficulties. I'd love to get a dog but so long as I'm still living at home with the family that has to be a family decision and my mother is dead set against that. We had a dog some years back and she doesn't want another (the excuse she gives is that it's not fair to the dog when we go on holidays and she doesn't want to ruin the carpets, I think she secretly just can't handle the loss of another one). I'll very likely get one when I move out which may not be very long from now. However a smaller pet I can keep somewhat more to myself may be a go. Trouble is it has to be a pet that gives something back to me emotionally I want to feel loved and needed by it too. I'm highly allergic to cats so that's out. I know all about it being a responsibility and not to make a pet purchase a snap decision, so let's not even go there. I would think long and hard about it first. But I need some ideas. I had a hedgehog for a short while but had to give it back to the store because no matter how hard I tried the poor little thing wouldn't bond with any of us in the house, it would just ball up terrified. But a little guy like that might be nice, anyone have any experiences?
If he gets a pet, I see this happening:

4. Have you considered a service dog?
Your mother's objections would be rather trivial in the context of the big picture. There are several organizations that train and certify dogs to assist with various things. It may be something to investigate.
Otherwise, consider a rabbit - they can be quite loving and friendly if socialized properly.

I know there are "therapy" dogs. But those usually go around to hospitals, hospices and the like to give comfort to the gravely ill. And I know it's not the right thing to say but I'm not sure I like the stigma attached to needing a "service" dog. Though to tell you the truth it would be very comforting, lol.

13. Yes, they do.
No one would need to know why - you could tell them whatever you wanted - you have a seizure disorder or something.
Lying to get a service dog. Pretty low...
-
Yup. A pet rock is the best choice. One question, though--igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic? :???: :whistling:
-
How about a pet shotgun?
.
-
Something poisonous.

Gaboon Viper?

I was thinking on the lines of a tank full of piranhas.
The next time he got good and depressed, he could just get his pets to give him a group hug.

I'll very likely get one when I move out which may not be very long from now....DUmmie will move out when he is thrown out.....after mom dies.

A pet male RAT, name him Ben. " Ben, the two of us need not look no more, we have found what we are looking for."
Good pet, one that will bond with you as long as you feed him, content to sit inside your shirt all day, some one to talk to and go through life with.
Only you know Ben is inside your shirt listening to those you encounter and prepared to defend you to the death. No worry about talking to yourself, Ben is there to listen as he pokes his nose out of your shirt collar looking for food or water.
I would not advise a dog, they tend to pick up the owners fears. What cost a RAT, get as a baby and save it from the Snake owners that need feeder mice and rats for their obnoxious so called pets.
A female rat is going to be promiscuous, leave you for some Hunk of big boy Rat and leave you with 12 baby's to bother with. Go with the male Rats, they will turn down sex for food in a heart beat.

Excellent choice. For any DUmmies reading this, these delightful reptiles love a little horseplay now and then, like being tossed into the air and then caught by their owner.

As long as it is solid,weighs around 30 lbs and is delivered to the top of his head from about 20 feet high any of the above works.

Very low maintenance also, just a rat and a hug twice a day.

The only service dogs are seeing eye dogs and bomb/drug sniffers. Those animals do a great service.
The recent explosion in all kinds of personal "service dogs" is a pure scam. The sellers get a huge price, and the buyers get a mutt they can take into places where dogs are inappropriate to annoy other people.
Those service dogs probably go to acupuncture vets.

I hope LocoNuts gets a dog or a cat. If he did, and then it got run over, his posts would be some of the funniest of the year.
This boy has potential.

And then there will be posts from Loconuts with his wishado requests for donations for his house payments, his food bill, his therapist(s) bills, his medications. Probably already taking notes from the Stewert and Grits DUmmies on how to do this.

Did LocOnuts quit college and move out of the dorm?

Yes. Had a breakdown and moved back with his parents.
Failed once again to get laid.

They should all move in together and put it on Current TV or Al Jazeera or whatever they call it these days. Their first reality show:
"The true story of four DUmmies, picked to live in a house, avoid work together, and have their lives taped, to find out what happens when worthless liberals stop
being polite... and start getting real."

OK I missed that announcement . Thanks for the update.

A boa constrictor comes to mind. They are so loveable.

Rabid ferrets are pretty loving and fun.

Please, do not get an organic pet. Please? I love dogs more than most people and I would hate the thought of an emotionally abused dog.

Did you see the movie "Best In Show"? About crazy dog people all converging at a convention center to show their dogs.
Pretty funny. :rofl:

Thing is, that would probably fix him/her/it.

That was funny up there, GOBUCKS.
Maybe it was the mood I was in, but I could not enjoy "Best in Show." It seemed to be sooooo gay. I surfed away rather quickly.
I agree with Dori, boa constrictor. That's a great big hug! Just was Loconuts needs.
-
"Best In Show", "Waiting For Guffman", "A Mighty Wind", "This Is Spinal Tap" are hilarious movies, but they're scripted movies with great professional actors. They're called "mockumentaries".
The "Pursuit of Excellence" series, especially Ferrets, are all pure, legit documentaries, entirely unscripted with real-world, natural nuts. I laughed so hard my ribs were sore.

I don't know a lot of insane people. But when I listen to one I listen to UGP.
and UGP says a crazy like him some snake.
When your mind is on shaky ground, nothing will advertise it better than having a loving relationship with a snake

Id suggest a pet too small for loconuts to 'fit inside' of, yet one too large to fit inside of him. Might I suggest a nice eyeball-stabbing kiwi ? They are flightless, fluffy, fun and they enjoy the sweet, sweet eye juices of stupid people.

You would want an igneous rock for that, I think.
They have some very sharp points. :rotf:
Igneous for the Ignoramus! :rotf:

Think so?
My hearing dog disagrees with you. The law agrees with my dog.

Lurking DUmmies, how heartless can you be? Locut0s wants to hear comforting words of support, not all these stupid pet ideas. Give the guy some warmth instead of simply blurting out your stupid pet ideas.
He says he is in pain and wonders if a pet would help. Don't say Get a cat. Do say I love my cat and I would recommend that you get one too , but what I really want to do, my dear Locut0s, is to send you healing white light.
This thread is the same as his ginger soup thread. Locut0s says he's in deep pain and mentions that he's having ginger soup and the DUmmies selfishly respond with their own ginger soup recipes and don't even deign to express hope that he feels better soon.
With friends like you, who needs enemies?

LocoPuffs,
I know you're in Canada, so the Americans with Disabilities Act doesn't apply to you. I don't know if Canada has laws about Service Dogs, but I don't care to check- because it won't change what I have to say next.
If you follow the advice of that walking lobotomy Denninmi, and try to pass off your new pet as a Service Dog, I WILL MAKE IT MY BUSINESS TO IDENTIFY YOU AND PUBLICLY SHAME YOU SO BADLY THAT YOU DROWN YOURSELF IN YOUR MOTHER'S TOILET. Assholes like Denninmi make it harder for those of us who depend on our real-life Service Dogs- and you do not want to be "that asshole", believe me.
I trust I made myself clear. Your fellow DUmmies would do well to pass the word.

LocoNuts should buy a brain dog.
Should be easy to find one with a stronger brain than his.

That statement could also apply to any one of the three types of pet rocks.
ETA: I was thinking about this one, as the caffiene surged through my brain. He could use this new formulation known as "concrete" and make the pet rock into any shape he wants. :whistling: O-) :loser:

How about a pet suggestion from DUmmy UGP:
Later I cried my eyes out in mike's truck going to petsmart to get frozen rats for my snake.
I think a frozen rat would be just perfect for LocoNuts.

Beat me to it, Johhnyreb. I think those two are a match made in.... well not heaven... let's just say the looney bin. Afterall, nutsies need lovin too.
At least he would have a shot at getting laid with UGP. A small one... but beggars can't be choosers. Better than any of his chances up till now. I'm assuming UGP still has her lower lady parts.
