Pet fish vs. Pet dogs

[convict360]

No fish will ever replace dogs, who are called man's best friend for a reason

Fish don't leave turds in your living room

Train your dog that's simply disgusting and avoidable if you put the effort forward needed to be a reponsible pet owner.

I have never had to put a diaper on my fish for "girlie days"
I have never had to put a sweater on my fish

That's not a dog that's a princess and animal abuse.

Fish don't require a license from the county (although some fish are illegal and I think all dogs are legal… go figure)

Pitbulls have regional regulations not to mention all cities have "dangerous dog" policies.

I have never felt the urge to waste money on a Christmas stocking full of goodies for my fish or for any of my relatives fish

I love dogs but I won't ever buy gifts for someone else's dog.

Yea the state of Colorado and the city of Miami I know of. I have my own opinions on that but I'll keep to myself

Very funny read...I love my aquatic animals, I care for them with the best care i could offer them...but honestly, I'm in love with my dog! I never cry when I had to put my fish down, but did twice with 2 of my dogs...Chloe, my pit bull, and Zhoe, my gold lab. RIP Girls!

Great list! You put some thought into it. I would add that you don't have to get/look for a sitter for vacations. These are apples and oranges though. I've had a few "family" dogs. Never got too sentimental with them until I got my own dog. The circumstances surrounding the loss of that dog turned me off to dogs entirely. I have cried over fish and I have called out of work for one of them.

Another reason fish r better is u can't flush a dog down the toilet if u get sick of it ; )

 

[ehh]

I think you've had a bit too much pale ale, paleale.

I think dogs are way more time consuming by far to take care of, in most situations.

Funny post. But nonsense none the less your comparing apples to oranges. Fish seem harder because you have to provide a whole world to a fish not just let him in the structure you live in or the old tie out in the backyard but the work would probably amount to the same but cost the fish may win out in the long run imo i spend way less money on my fish then my dog but if you add in the electric bill it may add up to the same. But fish all the way for me and i dont buy pets for affection so that's a no go for me.

when was the last time you had a $1,000 Vet bill to remove cancer from a FISH?.....and who would actually DO it?

Yeah, vet bills are no joke! When you don't have insurance for your dog. Found out the hard way! Now, does anyone have insurance on thier fish pets? Prob NOT! Pretty sure Sea World does, haha. Can your fish help a helpless fish? I know dogs can.. Check out this video if you haven't seen.
