After Sheeba, never got another dog....that was 17 years or so ago.
My son got a gecko that wound up being my responsibility and that one wrecked me. Pet stores never had crickets in stock, ordering them online was iffy... sometimes they show up dead and the gecko wont eat dead crickets.
I gave him dried meal worms, bit he wouldn't eat them.....so i started hunting crickets in my yard. I think i poisoned him with those shitty, lead water crickets....anyway. That was like 3 years ago and no more pets for me. I'm good.
Edit, it was around covid so i guess longer than 3 years but it feels like yesterday
