Pets

I do have a pet, a spaniel - and I think having a pet is both invaluable, in terms of companionship; and a big commitment. A dog like mine is obs a lot of work - not every pet is, but it's still a commitment, to care for it, interact with it, every day, for its lifetime. 

Totally worth it, imo, but I'd always say think about what you're getting into, before getting a pet. 

I didn't get my dog, he was my late mother's, I inherited him when he was still little- and it was challenging!

I will consider it all. I'm much more likely to talk myself out of it, because I overthink so much.
