I have 3 pugs that I love,love,love. Pugs have got to be the neediest dogs on the planet. Oh, and they totally understand me and are the best listeners.They are perfect for my personality.

I love all animals...always have...but dogs are my all time favorite.

What about you? Do you have pets that fill a void in your life?

My golden retriever, Cody, was pretty much my best friend. Nicest dog in the world. He died a few years ago. The dogs I have now are usually just annoying. One's a totally neurotic golden and the other is a papillon that shits in the house.

Johnny Panic......Cody looks adorable laying with the blanket and pillow! I do that for my dogs too. I bet he was a real good friend to you....with eyes looking at you, that made you think he knew what you were saying to him.

Indeed.

I don't think I want pets when I'm older and live on my own, though. They're expensive and you have to clean up after them. (I don't want kids either )

My toy fox terrier is a horny old dog who loves to make love to stuffed objects, and sleep on my butt. He's a quick learner (at seven years of age, no doubt!), and he actually pays attention to the things that I say. He has this little perk about him that peaks my curiousity to no end. Whenever I'm depressed, he will walk up to me, and push my hand up with his nose so that I'll scratch his head. He's keen on cheering me up. The only con about him is his bad breath. You can smell it from a ways away.

They are simple people that will love you unconditionaly. What is there for an INFJ to hate?

What about cats? They're not too expensive if they're not a purebred..and they mostly take care of themselves :P

I have two cats and a gerbil. One of my cats, Linus, is basically my favorite thing in the world (but I still love the other dearly, her name is Zip). I made my family take in Linus :>...and my gerbil Melvin is an illegal dorm room pet but idc cause he makes my life more bearable while I'm away from home.

My mom ran a cat-breeding business when I was a kid. At it's peak, we had no fewer than 36 cats in our house.

Mostly turned me off to cats. I can hear the sound they make while in heat in my nightmares.

I didn't mean the price of the animal itself as much as the price of food, vet bills, and grooming over a period of 10ish years.

I know they're cute and cuddly and always there when you need a friend. But I'd really rather not bother. I get very stressed out very easily, so I'd like to keep my life as free of extraneous responsibilities as possible.
