My soon-to-be-a-three-year-old keeps asking me if she can have a pet of some kind. For about a year now I've been stamping my man foot down and issuing an authoritative "No". Frankly, I can't be bothered with vets bills and I know that I'd end up being the one cleaning/walking/feeding the food-chain lowbie.

But now her birthday is fast approaching and, when I refuse, her eyes become glazed over with half-formed tears, her bottom lip quivers like a tramp in winter and my war-hardened heart melts enough to make me roll my eyes and say, "We'll see."

Well now I'm seeing.

Criteria:
  • No vets bills (in other words expendable).
  • Easy to look after.
  • Cheap to house.
  • Cute (optional).
  • No spiders, arachnaweirdos.

Any thoughts?


(I know my post is rather negative, but, of course, I would love it and look after it properly.)

Hamster/Guinea pigs. My daughter has both. Mostly due to her mother swearing that she would take care of feeding/watering/cleaning the little gits out. Personally I wouldn't have bothered.

To be fair though, she does absolutely love them and will happily talk to them about her day when she gets home :)
