Is there a pet you wish you could have but know it'll never happen. Explain why this pet would never work for you.



I would love to have lots of horses, goats and even a cow or two. I don't see myself having enough land for them.

A lovely kitty cat - I am horrifically allergic to them, and my sister is still highly allergic to them after 10+ years of shots to try to eliminate the allergy.

Well... hopefully it will happen.... but not while I live with my parents....

I would love a dog but my mum probs wouldnt be able to cope, my favs are german shepherds, cocker spaniels and golden retrievers.

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE a cat but we live by a main road and my parent dont believe in inside only cats :(

Even tho I'm a "little dog person", I always wanted an Old English Sheepdog. I just love their goofy, lumbering, clumsy manner. I have the room (land wise), but wouldn't be able to keep one in the house, and all my poochies have always been house dogs.

Anything farm animal. Welsh pony, a zebu, a cow, a donkey, a zedonk, a llama, chickens. But I'll never have enough money to buy a farm.

An iguana!
I believe I will have one someday. I will save my mum's sanity and wait until I move out first, though.
She doesn't like the idea of a little Godzilla under her roof. ;-)

I always wanted a horse but I won't have enough money to be able to board the horse somewhere. :/

I also always wish I could have a snake. I love snakes and lizards. But my mom would never let me get one.

I wish I could have a horse and a dog. I can see it happening in the future. Especially because some of the boarding barns here are about half the cost of where I used to live.

Goats. I want goats! Pygmy Goats in particular. I love goats!

We plan to move farther out of town in the next five years.....I will have goats then!

You don't have to live on a farm to have chickens! I don't live on a farm and have had chickens and ducks!

MORE CATS! Not enough room though.

Slightly OT, though this thread reminded me of it...MANY years ago, when my sister and I were pre-teen or in our early teen years, dad said one morning that he had a dream that my sister wanted a Siamese Duck!

(no, Dad really didn't drink a lot at all! And there is no such thing...except as a restaurant dish!)

When I was little, I wanted a fox. When asked for a second choice, I said I wanted a shark. ;)

I wish I could have a Maltese, or a Yorkie.... I've wanted a small dog for quite some time now! I'd also love a cat. But I just don't know how my girls would take to that... and I probably don't really want to find out.:eek::)

A horse. I have absolutely no place to keep one nor the time and money to feed and properly care for it. My mom said we could tie it in the backyard :p.

Maybe someday though after I move out and everything. I've always wanted a horse.

Well.. I've always said I wanted a dinosaur.. LOL I don't think that'll ever happen.

I would love sheep for the dogs to herd, but there's just no space in the city. I've always wanted a horse too.. I may end up boarding one day though.. who knows

I voted "cat" and "dog"!
Let's explain that :)
- I would love it soooo much to have a huge longhaired Main Coon!
- As a child I loved to watch the movies with "Lassie"! So I've always wanted such a beautiful doggie!

I've always wanted a monkey. I don't see that happening though.

Other than that, I've always wanted a bird besides cockatiels or parakeets, and I'm getting my little Scarlet (Cinnamon Green Cheek Conure) soon.

The one other kind of bird I would absolutely love to have is an African Grey. But I don't see that happening either, as much as I would love to.

Fish. They're beautiful and relaxing and I'd love to have a big fish tank (either salt or fresh water) but I'm so bad with fish. I've just never done well with them.

More than anything I want chickens and my husband has promised to build me a chicken coop this winter (an advantage to not having snow in Florida!) so I can get some chicks in the spring!

I want goats and I've been reading up on them like mad so I can hopefully get some in a couple years.

A Leonberger. I don't want any more pets for a long time... and can't have any more for a long time, but when the time is right (like 20 years down the road, lol), I will have a Leonberger. And someday I'd like a Belgian Shepherd too. Aside from those, I would like more tollers throughout my life (of course!).

The only future pets I want are dogs. I don't have a desire to have anything else.

I would love to have a dog some day. Hopefully, when I get a more consistent work schedule and a dog-friendly home.

I desperately want a Miniature Donkey... a fuzzy, silly, tiny one.

Oh, and I would love a small herd of Angora Sheep.

I have been so blessed in my life for I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, rabbits, cows, horses, ducks, geese and cute pigs.
I would however love to have a Tiger and or Lion to help raise them, protect them and release back to the wild. Or a polar bear, hippo, seal, Tazmanian Devil.

Two critters come to mind....

First, because of the danger factor, I will not be able to own one of these...

A leucistic cobra.

Second, because of legality, I will probably never be able to own one of these...

I wish I had tropical fish, but I'll never keep them because of the time, effort, and work involved.

I wish I had a horse, can't say never though. ;)

I said Horse, cattle, etc. It's not possible right now. Specifically a clydesdale LOL, I love clydesdales. I said frogs, snakes, etc because I cannot feed something live mice or insects. EW!! :p I want a green tree frog so bad lol. Turtles are illegal in New Jersey...

And the pet I want most, A fennec fox-
They are illegal in the entire US I believe. Very cute animals, and in some countries they are legal but I can't see moving out of a country just to get a pet lol.

Oh, I remembered one that slipped my mind....
Piranhas! For years I have been drooling over these fish, but thanks to the mean ol' state of Arkansas it is illegal to have them here. :-(

Are you certain? Not too long ago I saw a Fennec Fox for sale at an exotic pet store in Missouri.
He was a cute little bugger. :-)

Edit/ I also found a Breeder Directory (http://www.fennecfoxes.net/breeders.html) online. I am sure some states allow them as long as you have the proper licensing. :) I could be wrong, though.

That Nutria eating a lollipop picture is too funny.

I voted poultry, because I would absolutely love to have an African Grey, or Goffin, (or even an Amazon). However, I don't think I'll ever convince myself I am ready to have a toddler for that many decades :eek:.

BTW, I love your screen name. Tragic hero, much? ;) :D I was just thinking to myself the other day how nicely the name rolls off the tongue. Antigone Antigone An-ti-guh-nee... LOL!

Look at yesterdays POTD, and he is in Illinois. They said they had to get a permit to own one.

Nevermind - you already did. :p

I picked other as I currently have now or have in the past had most on the list of choices (well never a monkey and don't really want one..lol). What I would like to have is a Serval or Caracal but they are illegal here so I have to wait until I move. I didn't think these qualified under "cat" as I figured that be domesticated cat just like "dog" wouldn't be wolf or coyote so I picked other hope that was right. I also would like to have a Hedgehog and Arctic Fox too.

I would have kind of liked to own a cat at some point in my life, but I am deathly allergic to them, so it was never even a remote possibility.

I had ducks when I was a kid, and loved them. I would like to have some again if I had some land out of town and a pond, and of course, lived somewhere warmer! So, frankly, I'll probably never own a duck again.

What I'd really like to own is a platypus, a koala bear and a seal. Hmmm ... I'm thinking probably not going to happen. ;)

I really want goats and a guinea pig. I've always loved goats, but have never been around them, until my boss adopted some from the shelter, and now I am really in love with goats.

I really miss not having ducks and llamas around, so again in the future I will own them.
