Not a Pet Lover

Some people I've met are really surprised when I tell them I don't really like pets especially since DH is a vet! I know many have told me that having a pet brings lots of joy into your life, gives you something to come home to and its definitely ego boosting to have something that thinks you are its life! However, I personally do not like mess and cannot imagine having to deal with the mess a pet brings, the maintenance you need to upkeep such as feeding them, cleaning them and any pet beds or toys these pampered pets might have! So while I grouse about the tiny space we're living in now, at least its a good excuse not to have a pet!
