So you think you’re ready to own a pet? Or maybe you already do own a pet? But you’re worried about screwing it up? This is totally natural. It is completely normal to fear fucking this up because it’s really easy to do. Having a pet is a commitment akin to—although really, really not the same thing as— having a child.
