My inner five year old is saying OMG PUPPEH, but getting a puddy tat is equally viable. You don't have to walk them or give them baths and they don't require training, and they're happy to be left on their own during work hours. On the other hand they kill wildlife and present them to you for approval, and they run the risk of getting squished by cars, and they think they're better than you and merely tolerate your presence :p

But then dogs keep you fit, keep you safe, and you can play fetch with them. ANd they make ample opportunities to meet new people if your interested in that kind of thing. And cat love just doesn't compare to dog love.

On the whole I'd say cats were easier, but dogs are interactive on a whole other level if you train em right.

Gah! I can't choose!!
