Please never gift a pet
❌ Giving them a pet as a gift
✅ Making them the pet as a gift
where do I put my name to be on the list for this party?
I can also take care of a pet.
just to be a bit of a devil that advocates thingies, i lost my pooch a bit ago and my family asked when they could get me a new pup. i told them i needed time and maybe around my upcoming bday. so, i think if its been discussed in some fashion... i think it okays.
but i do understand the overall point and i don't disagree - surprise pets tend to be a bad move.
Pets should never be a surprise for sure. Having an idea that you've got one coming and being willing to take care of it is another story altogether
I mean I see were you are going but if they already wanted and you confirmed, like if the kid has wanted it and you are the parent or you talked with their parents, etc.. it's not that crazy.
I mean maybe I would go and make a gift card or something saying they can get it as a presen and if they are ok with it you then get it, ideally adopting of course.
Paying for something someone wants isn't the same as a surprise gift.
A parent buying a pet for their kids is actually a parent buying a pet for themselves; the parents very well know the pet is ultimately their responsibility.
I don't think anyone is saying to not do those things. It's the surprise of a pet that is heinous.
Agreed. Even assuming you know the person wants a pet and can handle a pet, you're still robbing them of choice in what pet they get. The poodle is cute and all, but little timmy really would've preferred a border collie.
Pretty much the only scenario I can agree with gifting a pet is if you know they want one, know they can handle one, and finally when it comes to the actual gift giving, it starts off with a trip to the animal shelter so they can pick their own companion.
certainly
Schrödinger's meme: both family friendly and horny at the same time
I'd bonk you to horny jail, but I get the feeling that it might be more reward than punishment
Third panel is heckin' adorable though.
i need the fourth panel to be replaced by a supportive group of friends please
The good ending:
Is that really better though?
If you're the type of person who would appreciate a human pet collar as a gift, and they are the type of friends tou wouldn't blink about giving you one - then yes, if is better.
Personally, I would prefer the cushion to cobrr the entire floor.
That's the bad ending cause the dog is homeless now 😔
Spill the beans
Lemmings don't spill beans, we meme the beans.
In capitalist Reddit, beans meme you!
Now you know one reason why you should always ask who a gift is for instead of assuming.
Kind for them to get a partner for the dog so the dog won't feel lonely.
OwO motherfucker
Happened to everyone. Right?
