I cant answer this question, because I have never had to deal with it.
I did that too on first reading.
I was going to answer based on that too.
My husband will be my pet and by that I mean treated royally. Some of these pets have their own clothing and go to 5 star hotels. I see this kind of pet treatment when there are people still needing these things and cant help wondering we have it backwards. Animals dont need this kind of treatment, because it spoils them. I nearly got bit of one of those pampered pooches the other day because I went to stroke it after giving it a bit of my steak. The owner just said, "oh hes like that with everyone except me' I thought, "sheesh, bite the hand that feeds you already"

One thing I've learned: Never say "I'll never do that" because your friends remember that stuff and WILL laugh at you 25 years from now when you are doing it.
Uncle Stanley recently fell asleep in the recliner with a coon hound puppy lying on his chest. He's getting soft in his retirement... Nooooo, he's a big man, he'd NEVER coddle a dog like that.
Aunt Diane took a picture for posterity, or maybe for blackmail.
I bet some of these guys gonna fall in love with a cat lady one day, and wind up living in a house with 17 cats. And this thread will be proof that they once said they'd never do that.

Yes.... my wife is not a "pet" person.... dislikes cats slightly more than dogs. "we'll never have a dog in the house" we had two for 15 years, because our daughter wanted one....
Doesn't like cats.... I have a picture of her sitting on the couch reading, with our new kitten, (that our grand daughter had to have), sitting on her shoulder, watching her read.
Never say "never" ....

I met my husband to be and told him he was welcome to come by if he liked horseback riding. He came. A lazy dog was sunning on the porch. The cat was laying on top of the bird cage being preened by the bird. We rode horses talked and had fun. He came back lol and a year later we married. He has since passed away but my life remains the same with the animals. Everything is subject to change but not today and tomorrow does not look good either.

A Persian Princess sat down next to me and asked about my day, normal chat. etc.
She's working on a doctoral degree at the University. I shared a little about my opossum rehab. She said she prefers dogs and cats. She asked me what I prefer and I said............ children. 😄
I think we all like pets, but some forget that children are a priority. They aren't mutually exclusive, contrary to some opinions. My pastor told me that some are.
Personally, I'm not a cat fan, but can appreciate them when someone else is raising them. I'm allergic to them. Besides, my ex gf had 2 and when they'd get upset with her, she said they'd spray her bed pillow. Yuk.
