MAKE A LOOSHKIN! Happy or one of m_m's owls Happy

I think dogs and cats are the easiest (once they grow up) to look after but most expensive. Like if you have a gerbil, fish, or whatever then you have to clean out their cages which gets annoying when you can't be bothered lol but no pet is easy to look after, when I got my mouse the respsibility was horrrible, he kept escaping when he was really little and it was like trying to find a child!

boooo theeeeem, but it is really annoying when a dog barks a lot like mine haha and you'd have to keep going up and down and outside to take the dog for a wee or to let the cat out! But I don't get why they won't even allow small pets like a bird or something. I don't know how I feel about birds as pets except for I'd rather there be homes for them then nothing, I miss mine Happy

ooo I sort of have wild pets haha there are two black birds that are always about and now two wood pigeons that I think were here last spring too. I always see a bat about when it gets warmer, we named him/her shy, there's always only one well I'm getting just the one, maybe get a bird table if you have a balcony thing Happy

We are allowed fish, but fish are SERIOUSLY boring. And because my boyfriend's stepbrother killed our last fish (because the tank was in way of HIS tank (damn him!!)) we just decieded pets aren't worth it, and to have them in our room would be too crowded.

aaaaw, there's a pet shop near the vets that my dog goes to where I maaaaay be able to start training, I'm keeping my hopes up but it looks slim, I'm one of 16 that has applied but anyway I'd go there all the time if I got the job just to look at all the animals, they had kittens in the window once and I once went with my mum to the vets and we noticed the kittens and were stood there for about 5 minutes going 'aaaaw'. I may just come home one day and say 'MOTHER! i do not care, it's too late I have a rabbit now!' or something. I wish I wasn't allergic to cats, I'm worried it's going to effect me getting a job as a veterinary nurse, but I've not had an interview to say anything about it YET!

Take allergy pills, or get allergy shots (that are like vacations you get for a year (3 days aweek, 1 day aweek, every 3 weeks) and you dont have those allergies for 5 years, than you dit again i get them for my allergies to trees, as i live in a forest) than you wouldnt have a problem.

I would take allergy tablets obviously and I think I said on here somewhere that it's only black cats that effect me and it's proven that black cats have stronger allegen, but I already take tablets in the summer for hay fever and I have a thing about never wanting to take that much medication all the time! They can't discriminate against that surely.

I wanted to be a vet until it said about the maths thing but now theres a reason being it with me having dyscalculia, oo god more things they could discriminate against, maybe they'll give me a sympaty vote lol

I never considered being a veterinary nurse till january, and to be honest I wouldn't want the responsibilities of a vet, you'd get used to it but then maybe you'd see them more as just pateints then animals, like doctors and nurses with people. Not saying that being a veterinary nurse is easy or anything but it's more about the care of the animals and I think I'd be better suited to it not AS stressed as a vet maybe, it seems more involved with the animals. There is 1 place for every 20 people in vet college and it takes 7 years no ta. I'm getting nervous now about it all but I think I'd be much more confident getting interviewed then a 17 year old.
