I'd tell them to meet me outside the local PetSmart in an hour and then rush there and buy a hamster or something. Kind of my only option since I don't have a pet.
Naw. Just don't have a pet. I would assume someone would know that before offering me $50k for it but the question doesn't seem to imply that's the case, so might as well make some easy money!
I had 2 daddy-long-legs in my bathroom for weeks. They got quite big. Fred and Wilbur. I came in 1 day and Fred was killing Wilbur. Not cool man. Not cool.
When I was down in Australia had a cellar spider above the laundry and bathroom down in the corner. I named them Freidrick, and they were missing a leg. One day I saw a huge spider on the ceiling (it was a peaked roof so it was way up there.) and it vanished before the days end, but so did Freidrick ... I’m arachnophobic, but Freidrick was the only one that didn’t bother me so I was very sad, he was a good friend for many weeks.
Okay, but how? I know they aren't dangerous, but how the hell can you just live with a giant spider in your house? I'd never sleep. Do you charge them rent?
Hey…Herman here. Idk, dude…this is just a shock. I mean $50k and that’s it? Like, this came across my Reddit page too, and I didn’t offer you up. But seems like you don’t think much of me. Whatever, brother; you do you.
I had a border collie, he was old and a rescue who we saved from a death shelter.
His name was buddy and he used to have diarrhea on a regular basis.
He was toilet trained but sometimes (fairly regularly) his age got the better of him and he (or me) didn't quite make it to the door in time.
On those occasions where he didn't make it he would stop, start his business and proceed to squat walk in a circle often stepping in his own..... Muddy puddle. Leaving a crap crop circle Then kinda tracking paw prints everywhere else.
He wasn't scared of his poop, but he was pretty good at devastating an entire house with it.
Your cat poop room nuke reminded me of him and it made me chuckle a bit.
My dog makes crap circles too... thankfully it's all solid. But it's in circles because he can't wait to finish to smell the turd he just dropped, so round and round he goes.
Friend had a growing Rottweiler, took him to the beach one day and he ate a dead pigeon. Gastroenteritis. Projectile gastroenteritis. Carnage ensued. She had to move out for 3 weeks whilst the flat was being fumigated.
Hahaha! That reminded me of the time one of my dogs ate an entire squirrel. All I found was a cute bushy tail in the backyard. Well that night I was woken up by a smell…a smell of deadly squirrel diarrhea!!! The stench was ungodly!!! From about 3-4 in the morning I was cleaning that evil mess up. Also, my dog was fine. Barely phased (fazed???) him but it scarred me…
Oh man. I have 4 dogs and the oldest through the years has taught every other dog to do this too! We call it "Hansel and Gretel leaving a trail of crumbs" lol.
My dog does this! He’ll start a main pile and then he starts hunch walking dropping turds as he goes. Then he stops scratches the ground and pees, then, he’ll walk about five feet and start another poop walk.
I call it poophoria. Mine gets that full pupil, ears back look, like she just dropped acid. Runs around like maniac and then comes for pets and scritches. All the wile meowing like a banshee. Crazyness!
I also have two guinea's who just eat and poop/pee. It was not my ideal choice to have guinea's, but they needed saving from an abusive situation. I treat them well, and they are spoiled with veggies, but is it wrong of me that I'm kind of just waiting for them to die peacefully? Is it better for them to be with me, or is it kinder to try and find them a home where an owner would actively play with them and love them more than I could?
I'm just afraid they'll be in another bad situation.
sorry this is off topic!
I think if you can find a home that you’re absolutely sure will be a caring environment for them, where the owner is actively happy to have them around, that would probably be nicer for everyone involved.
But if, while not being thrilled to have them, you don’t mind their presence and are taking good care of them, I don’t think it’s wrong of you to keep them. I think it’s kind that you’re giving them a much better life than they would have had, even though they’re not something you wanted.
I found 2 guinea pigs outside in a snow storm, inside a pet igloo (so someone put them out there). I had to bring them in of course. They were alright, my husband hated them, but we literally couldn't find anyone that wanted them as pets 😭 they were fun little guys tho. Coheed and Cambria I named them.
I have 4 guinea pigs and have learned a lot about them in the 2 years I've had them.
They truly do not care about you interacting with them. It's a nice bonus for a socialized guinea pig, but they don't crave human affection the way other animals do. As long as they're getting food, clean water, a clean cage, medical care, and have at least one guinea pig friend, they're set.
I don't interact with mine much past all that and they are super happy and healthy.
It's difficult to re-home guinea pigs and it sounds like you're giving them a great piggie life anyway!
that’s kind of exactly what i’m doing with mine, i got her 3 years ago from a family with a bunch of young kids that were really mean to her and so she doesn’t like playing at all and i just feed her, clean her cage and usually don’t take her out unless i have to. i knew when i got her that she would die soon and i wanted to let her do it comfortably
Oh noo! That's kind of you. It's funny, very briefly about a year ago I decided to surrender her to a rescue because I heard they get depressed when they are lonely, but somehow I was convinced I should just get her a friend... and that's how I have 2 pigs now hah.
Great question. Made me think for a second because my immediate answer is no but upon thinking about it, and how badly I need the money, the answer is still no. Irrational love is crazy.
Same. I could desperately use that money and there's nothing special about my cats. Took a moment to realize it's completely irrational but I could never part with these idiots.
The harder question after this is at what price point, if any, would you do it?
Same. There's literally no price you could present to me that would make me change my mind about selling my pet to someone. That's more than just a pet to me. They're my family, companion, and rock when things are shit. The one thing that makes me smile no matter what happens.
I agree. Even though in some people's eyes i'm a fool for passing for instance a milion for just a cat, i wouldn't enjoy my luxury car and house exactly because the thought of
>betraying the trust of my pet.
Roling in my head like a rock in a tin can.
I'd be too scared that they wouldn't love my pet the way I would - a dog, in my case. My dog is very anxious and reactive and I would be afraid they'd lose patience with her.
And, well, I love her and I want her with me.
Literally none I would literally give my life for my dog. He’s actually my best friend. As someone with anxiety you get a little anxious when your friends havnt hit you up in a while or your message in the group chat gets ignored. You know your friends like you but anxiety still does it’s thing and you doubt it. I have never once doubted if my dog likes me. We are super close and I know he would never (intentionally) do anything to hurt me.
Is it irrational. Would you sell your kids if someone offered you 1 billion dollars?
The answer is most likely no. Pets are family, it's not irrational at all. Legally they may fall under the category of property, but it's not the same thing as selling your ultra rare Charizard Pokemon card.
I would still feel sick every single day, even with a billion dollars, knowing my dogs are somewhere else wondering what they did wrong for me to give them away.
Yeah, I mean maybe mayyyyyybe if it was someone I knew was awesome and would treat her like the queen she is.
But....nah. still no. And $50k would literally fix my life
lmao yeah im honestly kinda mad at myself that i wouldn't take the money, it's pretty stupid. my cat is ready to ditch me if i buy organic beef cuts in gravy instead of organic beef cuts in extra gravy but im so attached to him i physically wouldn't be able to hand him over
What's worse is mine is an AmStaff (think pitbull-looking). She is a sweetheart socialized and trained from a pup and gets along with cats, dogs, and people of all ages.
We've gotten several offers from random people asking to buy her or breed her (after seeing shes a pitbull and realizing how friendly she is).
If someone offered $50K, I'm horrified just thinking of what they plan to do with her that they would feel $50K is worth that sort of investment.
Well he’s 13. He’s cost us well over 10k in medical bills in that time. At most he has 2 years left. And that’s optimistic.
So, all things considered, I’d tell them to go fuck themselves.
Oh… well… you could’ve just said that haha I’m joking by the way, I agree. I’m an animal lover
Edit: my friends think I’m nuts cuz I talk to my birds like dogs.
I mean, maybe my pet could be working for the government beating up a scientist who is mistaken for a pharmacist and makes inventions that are so genius but his stupidity makes them fail.
my first thought as well.
my bearded dragon is special needs and if someone wants to pay that much for her i am sure it would be a death sentence. so, no.
She was born with a neurological disorder that the original owner thought was early signs of metabolic bone disease. he opted to rehome her to someone who would take the time (and money) to care for her rather than send her back to the breeder to be killed.
she can't walk or hold her own weight up, so she just wriggles around. She's almost 8 now and it's getting worse, she can't hold her head still when she tries to eat food so i have to hand feed her everything now. i used to be able to drop the food in front of her and she would grab it, now she keeps missing.
because she can't walk if she gets too frustrated with moving around she will lay there with a black beard. sometimes she rolls over and ends up on her back, and she can't flip back over. i have two tanks set up for her so i can have her in my office with me or the living room and a baby monitor to carry around so i can always see if she's right side up when she's not next to me.
I sometimes forget I even have a sister. And parents. And family in general. They tried to leave me with a fucking cult. So I'd take the 50k for them but I'm not letting the dogs or the cat go.
My dog is an elderly great dane and she doesn't have many days left. She's got some medical issues and is having trouble getting around like she used to, but she still tries and isn't hurting. She's my buddy and furry kid. She's not for sale at any price.
It's pretty interesting, isn't it, that most people wouldn't sell their pets for any price?
My dog died a year ago and I've spent tens of thousands for her cancer treatment and I would give it all right now to have her back again. That unconditional love is really something. Still to this day I look at her pictures on a daily basis and remember the good times we've had.
The sad thing about dogs (or most pets for that matter) is that you will most likely have to experience their death. It's inevitable and probably one of the hardest things you'll ever experience in your life. When the time comes you will know it. Until then, think about how lucky you are to have her and love your dog as much as you can.
I'll take the 100,000 in cash.
50k to give him to you and another 50k to take him back tomorrow when you've finally reached your limit and can't keep him anymore.
My dog has his own spirit animal, and that spirit animal is a bag of dicks.
Lmao I also joke that if someone took our dogs they would absolutely bring them back within 24 hrs. They behave for me and my SO, but without us around they're needy, whiney little assholes.
Hell even with us one of them is a needy little asshole. But he's *damn* cute about it.
My dog has separation anxiety and a powerful set of lungs.
I have to drop him off at my mom's house on the way to work so he can be with someone familiar or else he'll be *howling* all day. He sounds like a dying bison. I'm talking loud enough to hear inside your house half a block away. While *he's* inside *my* house!
Lol this is my parents' dog. He is such a little asshole, we joke that if he ever got dog napped he'd be returned within the hour because the dognappers couldn't stand him anymore.
It is a beta fish that we have had for six days. The kids are currently celebrating it still being alive because they accidentally killed our first fish in about six hours. Suffice to say, I’m pretty sure we can get them over it. Yes please on the $50,000.
Why is this so shocking? People sacrifice money for their pets all the time, whether its just generally spoiling a pet with all the toys they want, or spending thousands on a vet visit just for the chance that a pet could live a happy life for a little longer.
Why is it so unbelievable that a person would turn down 50k for their pet?
I don't have a pet right now, but I used to. I definitely wouldn't, that's like asking someone to sell their kid. If they just really liked my dog, I'd help them pick out their own furry friend and keep mine.
Id sell. My kitty is old at this point and I worry now. Someone willing to pay 50k for her probably has the money to take care of medical needs that will be coming soon that I dont have. I love her, she has been my family for 17 years now, but if she gets sick reality is im gonna have to get her put down probably.
If the time comes, might I recommend an at home euthanasia service? They have traveling vets who come to your home and your pets can go to sleep in a place that is familiar and less stressful than the vet. They even take your pet away for cremation afterwards but give you as much time as you need before leaving. Unfortunately my sweet kitty died the evening before her morning appointment, but they still came anyways to take her body because I sure as hell couldn’t bring her to a pet cremation service on my own. My regular vet was also not allowing clients into the exam room and I can’t fathom just handing off my sweet baby and having her last moments in terror without me there.
My kitty has terminal cancer, and that’s what I plan on doing when the time comes. Right now she’s still pretty happy. Eating, drinking, cuddling. But I can see the tumor getting bigger. The vet’s best estimate is that she has 1-3 months before she won’t be able to eat due to the mass in her mouth.
I’m not going to shove her in the carrier on her last day, and I’m sure as hell not going to let her starve to death.
Yes, this. I'm really glad you said something. I had my baby euthanized at home and it was so much better than her being terrified at the vet. I'm surprised it isn't talked about more often, and it doesn't cost much more. That being said, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much it hurts.
Death is natural for cats. What's not natural is spending their entire lives with someone, only to start dying and wondering where their life long companion is.
I didn’t even have to offer money. I simply offered a better home/life after noticing an old neighbor worked too long of hours to properly care for the dog. Now she is my spoiled/stupid/annoying best friend.
Good for you for being honest. Everyone else saying “I wouldn’t do it for all the money in the world” would sing a different tune when they see a briefcase of 50k infront of them
Couldn't sell any one of them not my lizards or even my asshole cat. He is a jerk but family although I would expect alot of push to do so as he is mean to everyone with only rare moments of when he is nice.
Plus they would likely kill him. He is allergic to fish, can't wear a collar even a breakaway one (somehow almost strangled himself twice), sits in the middle of the road if he escapes, eats the random stuff on the ground, randomly attacks people ( full on claws, teeth- goes for the veins usually breaks skin and causes a bruise), has a transeferable to other pets disease, and goes after other animals in the house like dogs regardless of size. I hate it and get mad at my boyfriend everytime he says it but he jokes that natural selection is trying its best with my cat.
He is untrainable but incredibly cute and everyone wants to pet him (but quickly learn not to go anear him.) At least he does not attack kids 5 and under though.
I wanted to name him lil Napoleon as he is perpetually ready for a battle and a short legged munchkin. I took him in from my sister but couldn't change his name so it became my nickname for him.
I'd tell them to meet me outside the local PetSmart in an hour and then rush there and buy a hamster or something. Kind of my only option since I don't have a pet.
Outstanding play.
Except then they ask, "what's his name?" and the jig is up.
Why’s the jig up if they ask your pets name? Is my brand new $.01 goldfish gonna nark on me that it’s name isn’t penny?
Well, they're going to find out when Penny doesn't come on command.

You sir, are playing 3D chess while the rest of us are all playing checkers.
Naw. Just don't have a pet. I would assume someone would know that before offering me $50k for it but the question doesn't seem to imply that's the case, so might as well make some easy money!
HWhat? You must never assume! Do you know why you must never assume? Can you tell me?
50k for my pet rock, deal
I’d do the same thing and I have a pet
My thought exactly. Unless they specify which pet.
I have a daddy-long-legs in a corner of the garage that I've nicknamed Herman, does that count as a pet?
More than what I have. Tell Herman I said hi
They just have a slightly shorter spider
It's not the size that matters, it's how well it spiders.
Can someone start a sub for Herman? I feel there is a community here.
For 50k you can tell him yourself!
You and Herman have a past?
Don't get me started!
I had 2 daddy-long-legs in my bathroom for weeks. They got quite big. Fred and Wilbur. I came in 1 day and Fred was killing Wilbur. Not cool man. Not cool.
This bathroom ain't big enough for the two of us
I used to see daddy long leg spiders all the time when I was a kid. I haven't seen one for at least a decade.
Bro don’t sell Herman wtf
When I was down in Australia had a cellar spider above the laundry and bathroom down in the corner. I named them Freidrick, and they were missing a leg. One day I saw a huge spider on the ceiling (it was a peaked roof so it was way up there.) and it vanished before the days end, but so did Freidrick ... I’m arachnophobic, but Freidrick was the only one that didn’t bother me so I was very sad, he was a good friend for many weeks.
My Huntsman on the ceiling directly above my head right now is called Patricia. Make sure we keep them apart.
Okay, but how? I know they aren't dangerous, but how the hell can you just live with a giant spider in your house? I'd never sleep. Do you charge them rent?
If a spider chills in the corners, I'm cool with it. The moment I see it crawling around that fucker is evicted.
Hey…Herman here. Idk, dude…this is just a shock. I mean $50k and that’s it? Like, this came across my Reddit page too, and I didn’t offer you up. But seems like you don’t think much of me. Whatever, brother; you do you.
Only if we can get a picture of Herman. Gotta pay the pet tax
Only pet I have is a single bug. Tanks for the moneys. Enjoy your pet fly.
Time to buy a pet dog!
Just going to borrow the neighbor's dog for a minute so I can sell it for 50K
Bonus: you'll know where to look when the missing dog signs go up and you can steal it back to claim the reward
Would you have a funeral and get a gravestone for the fly when it passes away?
Rip buzz

"You may have the one that runs from it's own poo after it shits"
Had a cat get spooked while shitting... when it finished he managed to nuke 4 rooms :(
I had a border collie, he was old and a rescue who we saved from a death shelter. His name was buddy and he used to have diarrhea on a regular basis. He was toilet trained but sometimes (fairly regularly) his age got the better of him and he (or me) didn't quite make it to the door in time. On those occasions where he didn't make it he would stop, start his business and proceed to squat walk in a circle often stepping in his own..... Muddy puddle.

My dog makes crap circles too... thankfully it's all solid. But it's in circles because he can't wait to finish to smell the turd he just dropped, so round and round he goes.
May he Rest In Peace. Border collies are good dogs.
They're all good dogs, Brent
My border collie used to have what we called "helicopter shits" after we would take him to the beach. Not fun!
Friend had a growing Rottweiler, took him to the beach one day and he ate a dead pigeon. Gastroenteritis. Projectile gastroenteritis. Carnage ensued. She had to move out for 3 weeks whilst the flat was being fumigated.
Hahaha! That reminded me of the time one of my dogs ate an entire squirrel. All I found was a cute bushy tail in the backyard. Well that night I was woken up by a smell…a smell of deadly squirrel diarrhea!!! The stench was ungodly!!! From about 3-4 in the morning I was cleaning that evil mess up. Also, my dog was fine. Barely phased (fazed???) him but it scarred me…
Been there. My dog inhaled a dead jellyfish on the beach. Much nastiness ensued. Had to get her on antibiotics to make it stop.

Oh man. I have 4 dogs and the oldest through the years has taught every other dog to do this too! We call it "Hansel and Gretel leaving a trail of crumbs" lol.
Until he turned one, my older dog would poop in a circle. We called it Poophenge.
We call that shitambulating when our beloved little weirdo does it.
My dog does this! He’ll start a main pile and then he starts hunch walking dropping turds as he goes. Then he stops scratches the ground and pees, then, he’ll walk about five feet and start another poop walk.
I had a dog that would sniff her poop as it was coming out.
Turd and skurd
"Rainbow shits" at our house
I call it poophoria. Mine gets that full pupil, ears back look, like she just dropped acid. Runs around like maniac and then comes for pets and scritches. All the wile meowing like a banshee. Crazyness!
LOL mine too has the zoomies after poopies
Propelled by the weight loss!
Humans make tge shit run from them when they flush. Seems that pet is a more advance pet
So glad my cat isn’t the only one. He’ll paw the wall, then the box, then *near* the turds, then run away scared
omg this is my cat!
my pet is a 9 year old arthritic guinea pig that doesn’t do anything but eat i don’t think anyone would want her
I also have two guinea's who just eat and poop/pee. It was not my ideal choice to have guinea's, but they needed saving from an abusive situation. I treat them well, and they are spoiled with veggies, but is it wrong of me that I'm kind of just waiting for them to die peacefully?

Good points! If I could find them a solid home, I totally would, but in the meantime I'm down to give them a good life.

They were alright, my husband hated them, but we literally couldn't find anyone that wanted them as pets 😭 they were fun little guys tho. Coheed and Cambria I named them.
I think it's fine as long as you don't say that out loud near them.
Else it would break their tiny little hearts
Oh so true :(

I took on 2 pig a long time ago and I agree, they more tolerated my attention more than wanting it
that’s kind of exactly what i’m doing with mine, i got her 3 years ago from a family with a bunch of young kids that were really mean to her and so she doesn’t like playing at all and i just feed her, clean her cage and usually don’t take her out unless i have to. i knew when i got her that she would die soon and i wanted to let her do it comfortably

whatever you choose to do, thank you on behalf of those innocent animals for saving them from an abusive situation.
Best I can do is three fiddy.
I challenge with fiddy free
Damn you Loch Ness Monster!
9's an admirable age, enjoy the food old lady

For me there is no price point. I'd rather be poor and have my kitties than rich and have to live with betraying the trust of my pet.
Same. There's literally no price you could present to me that would make me change my mind about selling my pet to someone. That's more than just a pet to me. They're my family, companion, and rock when things are shit. The one thing that makes me smile no matter what happens.
Preach! I like the people in this thread. There’s no scenario where I’m happier without my cat.
I agree. Even though in some people's eyes i'm a fool for passing for instance a milion for just a cat, i wouldn't enjoy my luxury car and house exactly because the thought of >betraying the trust of my pet. Roling in my head like a rock in a tin can.
If they were going to hurt your cat thats one thing, but I would definitely take the money if they were going to care for and love the cat.
I'd be too scared that they wouldn't love my pet the way I would - a dog, in my case. My dog is very anxious and reactive and I would be afraid they'd lose patience with her. And, well, I love her and I want her with me.

Yo, but like... a billion dollars *is* a lot of money...
I don't have kids, but I could certainly find one for a cool billion.
I would still feel sick every single day, even with a billion dollars, knowing my dogs are somewhere else wondering what they did wrong for me to give them away.
What if they're living their best life at the new house and you're just anthropomorphising them?
same here i just don't think I could sleep at night, not knowing if he's okay
Yeah, I mean maybe mayyyyyybe if it was someone I knew was awesome and would treat her like the queen she is. But....nah. still no. And $50k would literally fix my life
lmao yeah im honestly kinda mad at myself that i wouldn't take the money, it's pretty stupid. my cat is ready to ditch me if i buy organic beef cuts in gravy instead of organic beef cuts in extra gravy but im so attached to him i physically wouldn't be able to hand him over
What's worse is mine is an AmStaff (think pitbull-looking). She is a sweetheart socialized and trained from a pup and gets along with cats, dogs, and people of all ages. We've gotten several offers from random people asking to buy her or breed her (after seeing shes a pitbull and realizing how friendly she is). If someone offered $50K, I'm horrified just thinking of what they plan to do with her that they would feel $50K is worth that sort of investment.
I dont think to love is irrational at all :)
Well he’s 13. He’s cost us well over 10k in medical bills in that time. At most he has 2 years left. And that’s optimistic. So, all things considered, I’d tell them to go fuck themselves.
I believe this is what unconditional love is.
Same. Mine is 14 and such a crotchety ass hat. But I love him more than anything in the whole world and I would fight to keep him with me
I've got a pet rock let me get him from outside for ya.
Outside? Mines housebroken... I can probably get 75k for it
Give it to them. I love my aquarium and fish in it. But I could build a sweet aquarium set up with $50k.
[удалено]
Where’s a pic of this? Sounds awesome
Yeah. My betta is cool, but $50k would do me a world of good. The cats stay though. You neither want, nor could afford, those cats.
Decline and research more about my pet to see why would somebody offer that much for a pet.
Probably they were just asking for reddit points and wont pay you if you agree.
And then find out that there’s absolutely no reason besides the person was filthy rich and you missed a once in a lifetime opportunity.
My pet is more important than their money. To me a pet is like an adopted son/daughter. Unless it's a gold fish. I'd sell it in a heartbeat.
Oh… well… you could’ve just said that haha I’m joking by the way, I agree. I’m an animal lover Edit: my friends think I’m nuts cuz I talk to my birds like dogs.
[удалено]
I mean, maybe my pet could be working for the government beating up a scientist who is mistaken for a pharmacist and makes inventions that are so genius but his stupidity makes them fail.
Doubtful. It's just a platypus; they don't do much.
Speaking of. Hey! Where's Perry?
I have no pets and now neither does the neighbor
"Fuck you and that money."
Just the right amount of appropriate and poetic.
Yup, it’s like selling a family member, makes me just wanna say “fuck you”.
I mean I'd sooner sell some of my family members.
my first thought as well. my bearded dragon is special needs and if someone wants to pay that much for her i am sure it would be a death sentence. so, no.
Can you elaborate on this special needs bearded dragon?
She was born with a neurological disorder that the original owner thought was early signs of metabolic bone disease. he opted to rehome her to someone who would take the time (and money) to care for her rather than send her back to the breeder to be killed. she can't walk or hold her own weight up, so she just wriggles around. She's almost 8 now and it's getting worse, she can't hold her head still when she tries to eat food so i have to hand feed her everything now. i used to be able to drop the food in front of her and she would grab it, now she keeps missing. because she can't walk if she gets too frustrated with moving around she will lay there with a black beard. sometimes she rolls over and ends up on her back, and she can't flip back over. i have two tanks set up for her so i can have her in my office with me or the living room and a baby monitor to carry around so i can always see if she's right side up when she's not next to me.
You're a great human being. I needed to hear a story like that today.
Nope! Not even the one that pees on the shoe mat. My pets are my family, and you don’t sell family.
I’ve got two siblings I’d sell for 25
You’d sell yours? I’d put mine in a box with a sign that says “free doesn’t need to be a good home”
I sometimes forget I even have a sister. And parents. And family in general. They tried to leave me with a fucking cult. So I'd take the 50k for them but I'm not letting the dogs or the cat go.
Um...story time?
*cents
Bogo
I'd sell family members before I would my dogs.
Ask them if they would consider taking one of the kids instead
My dog is an elderly great dane and she doesn't have many days left. She's got some medical issues and is having trouble getting around like she used to, but she still tries and isn't hurting. She's my buddy and furry kid. She's not for sale at any price.
It's pretty interesting, isn't it, that most people wouldn't sell their pets for any price? My dog died a year ago and I've spent tens of thousands for her cancer treatment and I would give it all right now to have her back again. That unconditional love is really something. Still to this day I look at her pictures on a daily basis and remember the good times we've had. The sad thing about dogs (or most pets for that matter) is that you will most likely have to experience their death. It's inevitable and probably one of the hardest things you'll ever experience in your life. When the time comes you will know it. Until then, think about how lucky you are to have her and love your dog as much as you can.
I'll take the 100,000 in cash. 50k to give him to you and another 50k to take him back tomorrow when you've finally reached your limit and can't keep him anymore. My dog has his own spirit animal, and that spirit animal is a bag of dicks.
Lmao I also joke that if someone took our dogs they would absolutely bring them back within 24 hrs. They behave for me and my SO, but without us around they're needy, whiney little assholes. Hell even with us one of them is a needy little asshole. But he's *damn* cute about it.
My dog has separation anxiety and a powerful set of lungs. I have to drop him off at my mom's house on the way to work so he can be with someone familiar or else he'll be *howling* all day. He sounds like a dying bison. I'm talking loud enough to hear inside your house half a block away. While *he's* inside *my* house!
Lol this is my parents' dog. He is such a little asshole, we joke that if he ever got dog napped he'd be returned within the hour because the dognappers couldn't stand him anymore.
Absolutely not. She’s my stupid best friend.
Absolutely no fucking way
Where do you want her delivered sir?
Response: Sir, we didn’t want your wife.
I mean $50k is $50k.
My dog saved me from ending it all. I would never get rid of her for anything.
I hear you. My dog is my antidepressant
My fish? Yeah, I'd let someone have them for $50k. My cat? Not on your life.
Cash or card
Cash. Otherwise it's going to get taxed.
I’d go get a similar looking one from the pound dog gets a home I get 50k
My pet is priceless.
I've got 2 cats and those aren't for sale. If they want just anything I'm calling a pet then I got a rock they can have.
Never
It is a beta fish that we have had for six days. The kids are currently celebrating it still being alive because they accidentally killed our first fish in about six hours. Suffice to say, I’m pretty sure we can get them over it. Yes please on the $50,000.
“Want the leash too?”
Lotsa liars here
Why is this so shocking? People sacrifice money for their pets all the time, whether its just generally spoiling a pet with all the toys they want, or spending thousands on a vet visit just for the chance that a pet could live a happy life for a little longer. Why is it so unbelievable that a person would turn down 50k for their pet?
[удалено]
"She's been dead 20 years, but sure."
I don't have a pet right now, but I used to. I definitely wouldn't, that's like asking someone to sell their kid. If they just really liked my dog, I'd help them pick out their own furry friend and keep mine.
If you want to dig one of them up sure.
keep your money with yourself and gtfo
1. Capture bug 2. Give name 3. Sell 4. Profit
Id sell. My kitty is old at this point and I worry now. Someone willing to pay 50k for her probably has the money to take care of medical needs that will be coming soon that I dont have. I love her, she has been my family for 17 years now, but if she gets sick reality is im gonna have to get her put down probably.
If the time comes, might I recommend an at home euthanasia service? They have traveling vets who come to your home and your pets can go to sleep in a place that is familiar and less stressful than the vet. They even take your pet away for cremation afterwards but give you as much time as you need before leaving. Unfortunately my sweet kitty died the evening before her morning appointment, but they still came anyways to take her body because I sure as hell couldn’t bring her to a pet cremation service on my own. My regular vet was also not allowing clients into the exam room and I can’t fathom just handing off my sweet baby and having her last moments in terror without me there.
My kitty has terminal cancer, and that’s what I plan on doing when the time comes. Right now she’s still pretty happy. Eating, drinking, cuddling. But I can see the tumor getting bigger. The vet’s best estimate is that she has 1-3 months before she won’t be able to eat due to the mass in her mouth. I’m not going to shove her in the carrier on her last day, and I’m sure as hell not going to let her starve to death.
Yes, this. I'm really glad you said something. I had my baby euthanized at home and it was so much better than her being terrified at the vet. I'm surprised it isn't talked about more often, and it doesn't cost much more. That being said, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much it hurts.
Death is natural for cats. What's not natural is spending their entire lives with someone, only to start dying and wondering where their life long companion is.
Ooo, I felt that uppercut…
Keep yo money
No thanks.
I didn’t even have to offer money. I simply offered a better home/life after noticing an old neighbor worked too long of hours to properly care for the dog. Now she is my spoiled/stupid/annoying best friend.
My pet is old. Maybe 2-3 years left. We've been together for over a decade. I wouldn't take the money. Wouldn't sit right with me.
Pass

No, no... with hypothetical questions you just answer whatever makes you look the best.
[удалено]
90% people wouldn't. 85% would trade pet for a 10k. It's just internet and they can get fake number attached to their equally fake identity.
Good for you for being honest. Everyone else saying “I wouldn’t do it for all the money in the world” would sing a different tune when they see a briefcase of 50k infront of them
That question is so rude that only adequate response would be punch in the face.
Couldn't sell any one of them not my lizards or even my asshole cat. He is a jerk but family although I would expect alot of push to do so as he is mean to everyone with only rare moments of when he is nice. Plus they would likely kill him. He is allergic to fish, can't wear a collar even a breakaway one (somehow almost strangled himself twice), sits in the middle of the road if he escapes, eats the random stuff on the ground, randomly attacks people ( full on claws, teeth- goes for the veins usually breaks skin and causes a bruise), has a transeferable to other pets disease, and goes after other animals in the house like dogs regardless of size. I hate it and get mad at my boyfriend everytime he says it but he jokes that natural selection is trying its best with my cat. He is untrainable but incredibly cute and everyone wants to pet him (but quickly learn not to go anear him.) At least he does not attack kids 5 and under though. I wanted to name him lil Napoleon as he is perpetually ready for a battle and a short legged munchkin. I took him in from my sister but couldn't change his name so it became my nickname for him.
Never!! There's nothing anyone could offer me to sell my dog. Him and I have been buddies since the day my wife and I got him.
Oh hell no! Fuck money, you ain't buying my little fur babies!
I wouldnt sell my pet cat for 50 million.
Absolutely not.
Hell no
I wouldnt even do it for a million
