for muses_gonewild... 105. Who else knows about this? {open to al

I'm at a complete loss.

Rhys and I are talking about getting a pet. We've talked about a dog, but seeing as the flat isn't exactly big and there is no way I am getting one of those small dogs that people dress up in ridiculous outfits and carry around in over sized handbags, we decided a different kind of pet would be better. However, Rhys is very allergic to cats, and I don't much care for them myself, so cats are out of the question.

So, I need an opinion from everyone I know. What kind of pet would be good for a newly married couple, who live in a small flat, have no children, and work a lot? Rhys tends to keep quite regular hours, but as many of your know, I don't. So we're looking for a pet that we can enjoy, but will also be low maintenance. We obviously don't know much about this, and would appreciate any ideas!

(And no, John, a baby does not count as a pet.)
