My Next Pet

After looking over the last few months and all of the problems that I've had with my animals in the past, and recently... such as my hamsters escaping from their cages and Bandit getting out of the house. After reviewing all of these experiences, I've decided that I don't want to get another animal unless it's really freaking awesome! They're just too much work, and I don't think I'm willing to add more responsibility to my already full plate, unless I'm being responsible for the most awesome animal I've ever had. So, I was thinking about what kind of animal would be awesome enough. I like snakes, but I could never feed one, and they've been done before.. lots of people have snakes. Hedgehogs are interesting... but I already know someone who has one, so it's not original enough. I've wanted a chinchilla for a long time, but they need lots of space to zip around, so, since I don't have a spare room to give one, I've decided that having one and caging it up would be cruel, so, no chinchilla for me... yet. ;)
As I'm sitting there, running through all of the animals in my head that I've never had, I come across the idea of having a squirrel. Squirrels are cool, and they're cute and fluffy, and most people don't have pet squirrels. So, a squirrel was definately at the top of my list. Then, my mind wandered to a cartoon on albinoblacksheep.com that Brittany showed me, and I decided what my next animal would have to be.... I would have to have a fiery squirrel! It would have to be able to engulf itself in flames and make people face his FIERY SQUIRRELY WRATH (fwah fwah fwah) ... especially stupid people who need their balls cut off!
Unfortunately, I will probably never come across such a squirrel, which makes me really sad, but I'm sure I will get over it. Maybe I will just have to settle for a regular squirrel?... or, maybe I can get a flying squirrel. That would be awesome! So, if I'm ever ready to have another animal, it's probably gonna be a flying squirrel. Unfortunately, it will have to wait until I have a place of my own, because I don't have anywhere for the squirrel to fly/run around... and again, caging it up all the time would be unfriendly.
