Inspired by WVJules, which is an easier pet -- a fish or a dog?

[Sharon A.]

Which do you think is an easier pet to take care of?

I think a fish is much easier, but not nearly as fun.

Dog. I usually end up having dead fish. Besides, dogs are more fun.

A dog. I've tried walking my fish and it was really hard to get the leash to stay on.

Fish are a lot easier than a dog. All you do with fish is feed them and clean their tank occasionally. WIth dogs, you need to feed them, water them, give them lots of attention, train them, clean up their mistakes, etc.

I guess I'd have to say fish are much easier, but they just don't have the personality.

At least if you forget to feed the Dog, he'll remind you within 5 minutes.

Oh shoot, I voted dog my accident. Can someone that was gonna vote dog, vote fish for me?

I think dogs are easier. I had no luck at all with fish from pet stores. Hunter did bring home some small somethings from a pond that did well but other than that I was flushing them all.
Nothing like a dog or a cat!

Hands down fish are much easier than dogs! I've had goldfish last me years and years without much work at all.

I don't have a fish but I'm willing to bet cold hard cash they are easier than dogs. I know one thing for sure, I wouldn't have to pay the boys to clean up the backyard after a fish.

I traded my dog vote for your fish vote, Jules.

I voted for dog ( except I voted for fish on Jules behalf) because fish just seem to die on me. I can't keep them alive for some strange reason

Yeah, but when it happens you can just have a ceremony and flush. Dogs on the other hand.............

Dogs! I can't keep fish alive!

Can't keep a fish alive longer than a week in our house!!
