Man I'm a bore. I ended up with a medium to large dog. Which is actually what I have. Except, 2 of them Have to say, they nailed me on the classical author and nailed me on the pets.

You got: Medium to Big Dog

You’re outgoing and friendly but are sure to surround yourself only with the people you love and trust the most. You’re also an adventurous outdoor spirit who loves to cuddle.

1. Cat

and the text:

"Sure, you like keeping to yourself, but you also enjoy the company of your close group of friends. You’re responsible but your independence and thriving career make you wary of being tied down to a set schedule."

I love animals but don't have pets cuz I don't want the responsibility. Both of my cats died 5 years ago and I decided I was done with having pets. I question that decision a lot, but so far have resisted the temptation to get a dog or a cat.

Last year someone gave me a praying mantis and I took good care of it until it died about 8 months later. To be honest, even caring for that insect got to be too muck work. I think I'm all done with having pets.

[Submariner]

13. Ditto- and get the satellite dish kitty type for good TeeVee reception as well as companionship

[LiberalElite]

2. I got

Wombat. Why do I take these tests? I a) ['m] a sucker; b) stupid; c) should know better; d) take things too seriously.

Correct answer: D!

[handmade34]

3. seriously??

[LoveMyCali]

16. Hahaha, that's what I got too

I have a niece who is always saying she wants a capybara for a pet.

You got: Capybara

You’re a sweet, dignified person with a love for adventure and new people. You are the wisest but most comforting of your friends and need a pet to drive that point home.

[Petrushka]

50. Same here!

Ain't gonna happen . . . that thing looks like a cross between a river rat and a groundhog.

[handmade34]

52. but...

this could be us

[Petrushka]

54. Hope that critter ain't hungry!

[RebelOne]

4. For some reason, I cannot pull up the quiz.

I am using Firefox right now and maybe Firefox does not like Buzzfeed. I'll switch to Safari later and see if it works with the quiz.

But I have had all kinds of pets. Dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes and gerbils. But my preference is big dogs like the two Rottweilers I had that are now in Doggy Heaven. Now I have a Chihuahua who is a total brat. I am 75 years old and could not handle a big dog any longer.

[rug]

5. Hedgehog

You may appear guarded, but you have a huge heart and are fairly responsible. No matter how it may look, you always care a lot, and you’d make a great hedgie parent.

I was hoping for an ocelot.

[hedgehog]

55. I ended up with a big to medium dog!

Actually, I have 2 mediums and 1 big dog currently. No hedgehogs

[rug]

59. Lol! At least you didn't get a pet rug.

[Kali]

6. Ferret

Ferret

You have a great sense of humor and are the life of the party. Even when you get into trouble, you can smile your way out of it. A ferret is simply the perfect partner in crime.

[AnneD]

62. I got ferret to....

how weird is that?

[elleng]

7. THIS one!

http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~btca/BTCA-Liberty's%20Devonshire%20Temptress.htm

We had her, until she died some years ago.

[Sanity Claws]

8. wombat

The older you get, the wiser you get and you value that trait in others. You’re fantastic at maintaining long-term relationships with people so you need a pet who will do the same. You’re a quirkier version of a “dog person,” which is kind of exactly what a wombat is. Advice: You may need to move to Australia before living out this pet dream.

Wombats are cute and unusual ---- just like me!!!

[femmocrat]

12. Me too.

Is it even legal to own a wombat??

BTW, I'm terrible at long-term relationships. I never "keep in touch".

[geardaddy]

34. Me too.

[Sanity Claws]

35. Cute to look at

but my research says they do not make good pets. They are wild, not domesticated.
On second thought, maybe that's why we got them. We're kind of wild, not really domesticated.

[geardaddy]

37. That's true.

I'm not even housebroken.

[Sanity Claws]

38. I hope you read the newspaper

You probably need a lot of newspapers on the floor.

[shenmue]

9. Hedgehog

[MissMillie]

36. Me too

You may appear guarded, but you have a huge heart and are fairly responsible. No matter how it may look, you always care a lot, and you’d make a great hedgie parent.

[FSogol]

40. Me too. n/t

[CottonBear]

63. Me too.

I've never even seen a live hedgehog.

My cat might try to eat it.

10. A Boa Constrictor?

Ummm maybe not, I'm not a huge fan of snakes.

[laundry_queen]

11. HAHA I got small dog

which is exactly what I do have - an itty bitty doggie. A 3.3 lbs of her!


You got: Small Dog

You are always on the go and trendiest of your friends. Literally the only thing that can make you cuter is a small, furry companion who can go with you everywhere.

[tandot]

14. Frog??? Really?

I don't know how they came up with that, but I am definitely not a frog person. Although ... my parents are into frog legs

[HarveyDarkey]

18. I got a frog too

WTF??!!


You’re fascinated by what other people may dismiss and have an interest in how the world around you works.
You are also mildly nostalgic about elementary school.

[Dystopian]

15. RAT!

I do not like that, Sam I am.

You got: Rat

You are intelligent and slightly rebellious, and enjoy taking chances on things other people may not. Despite all that, you have a gentle heart and need a sweet companion.


Thanks, that was fun! I do have a beautiful German Shepard/mix ... my sweet rescue dog

peace~

[hunter]

17. Nope, They got it wrong.

I'm a wild thing with wild dogs, wild flying dinosaurs, doug out front, and a dragon sleeping under the staircase.





But frankly it's the MFM not wearing pants pit bull that ought to be feared.

[mercymechap]

19. Cats.....

Definitely cats. We've had dogs, but over the years we realized that dogs were a lot more work. When we traveled, we had to board them, as they probably would eat all the food in one day or spill their water....now cats...you can leave them with plenty of water and food and they can fend for themselves pretty well for several days....

[sammytko]

30. wombat here also!

[fizzgig]

21. i got cat

shocking.

i have to go tend to the feline underlords.

[Arcanetrance]

22. I'm a capybara

You’re a sweet, dignified person with a love for adventure and new people. You are the wisest but most comforting of your friends and need a pet to drive that point home.

I question this greatly

[CottonBear]

64. Aren't capybaras the largest rodent in the world?

I don't think you need one.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

23. Chia Pet!

You want a living thing, but you’re not ready for most of them. Try a Chia Pet, there’s nothing to be ashamed of!

[magical thyme]

24. now that's just plain pathetic! although it beats

a pet rock!

[tandot]

26. Now THAT is funny ... I'll stop complaining about my frog :)

[Rhiannon12866]

25. You got: Bunny!

[a kennedy]

32. A ferret??

I never would have ever guessed a ferret.

[Lady Freedom Returns]

33. You got: Bunny

That would not work out. I like to eat rabbit!

[surrealAmerican]

39. It says I should have a fennec fox...

... which is admittedly pretty darn cool, but I'm quite happy with my dogs.

[alittlelark]

42. Garter snake....?

.......?

[TygrBright]

46. I got that, too.

Maybe it's a New Mexico thing?

amusedly,
Bright

[alittlelark]

49. Are you in NM? Moving back in August.

Gonna be great smelling roasting chilis this fall !!

[TygrBright]

57. Yep, we're in the Land of Enchantment. With the garter snakes, I guess... n/t

[bigwillq]

60. I got Garter Snake too

WTF?

[pink-o]

43. Pig

Good fit, actually: as a Jewish vegetarian he would know I'd never stare at him with visions of bacon in my brain!

[In_The_Wind]

44. It's not totally surprising cause I like soft cuddly things.

You got: Chinchilla

[img][/img]

You like soft things, rich minimalist colors, and luxurious baths. Can you think of a better companion?

[mak3cats]

47. HORSE??? WTF?

I haven't been near a horse since I was a teenager (a LONG time ago). I was skritching its forehead and it sneezed. I was totally covered with horse boogers and to this day can't think about it without gagging.

[magical thyme]

48. ah, the old horse shower

[MerryBlooms]

51. Cat- which we have 2

and my husband got me a chia pet cat for christmas.

Sure, you like keeping to yourself, but you also enjoy the company of your close group of friends. You’re responsible but your independence and thriving career make you wary of being tied down to a set schedule.

[magical thyme]

53. still waiting for some irresponsible slob to get a pet rock

[mucifer]

56. I got a pig. Good thing I'm vegan

Says I'm intelligent. I'm not really. But, if the internet says I am I must be. Gotta ask my cat what he thinks about pigs.

[magical thyme]

58. bacon. he probably thinks bacon. nt

[Arugula Latte]

61. Pig! Ha ha. I think they are adorable.

I wonder how my kitties would react.
