Any dog you got for that size apartment would have to be a freak of nature; get a young cat or even a kitten, they do respond to affection and are loving in their own way, and the poop aspect has already been discussed I think.

Or you could get a Great Dane with a colostomy bag, what the hell!
Great Dane it is!

🙂

I am so fond of pugs and bulldogs that I am really hesitating.

Then again, wormwood has a good point (noted by myself
earlier in a huge token of self-criticism, timely rewarded by a
glorious rec) and I think it will end up being a fish tank 😞

Oh, yeah, good point, mate. Thanks!

Here is more info:

Young couple, 50 square meters flat w/ nice wood floor, both
work all day. Pet must be independent, require not a
lot of attention, have a personality (i.e. no nervous, insecure,
dumb cocker spaniels)

I was thinking of a fish tank, yet I cannot play with them, lol 😞
Get a snake. They fulfill all your criteria.

Funnily enough, Der Schwarze Ritter was speaking a moment ago in Debates of Texans' fondness for big hair (he calls it "can-do"😉. I guess the 80s pretty much are to blame for everything. Sorry, big man.

What happens to people who end up in your black list?

Yes, he dropped a syllable and changed his name to David. Now I hear he's big in Germany.

I need some experiences, please.

Type, size, gender, etc.
Perhaps my experience will help you avoid a bad mistake.

My dog was given to me “free.” To begin with, there is no such thing. Took her to the vet, then had to go get dog supplies. Spent nearly $100 the first day. Then there were the follow up vet visits, and buying dog food and treats was almost as bad a trip to the supermarket for our own groceries. Found out training the dog was harder than trying to train a rock because this dog is retarded or something. Had to constantly clean up the droppings in the back yard. That is until the dog developed coprophagia. It’s disgusting, but at least there’s not as much scooping due to “recycling.” One day I realized I didn’t need to buy dog treats either since her favorite is when you spit a big old hawker in the yard…she loves’em. I tried to give her away a few times but nobody wants her. I wouldn’t take a “free” dog ever again, and would NEVER buy one.

Give me a cat any day. BTW Casey Bob and Millie (cats) do come when called. That is, if they feel like it.

Shame on you.

A cat that is an outdoor cat lives an average of two years. Two years!

A cat that is an indoor-only cat can live out its natural lifespan of almost 20 years.

Under two conditions: You spray every other day because it's effectiveness does not last as long as advertised (imagine that), and YOU can stand the smell as it takes a couple hours for it to go away. I would say the initial smell is pretty close to a skunk. I also tried the all natural stuff that doesn't smell so bad; the cats ignored it.
