My first choice would be of course man's best friend. A dog. I want to have an inexpensive dog that can guard my place as well and be playful too. German shepherd's I think are too large for my needs, poodles are definitely a no no for guys not unless you have a female tendency (just a tendency okay?). Ah, I think a chinese chow chow will fit me well. Not too big not too small either.
However since I live in an apartment on the second floor, I'll definitely need a dog litter box. Or perhaps a sandbox will do. I just don't want my pet too poo all over the place. That would be totally uncool plus it stinks. Wait a minute, I hate stink, I guess I'll have to convince myself some more to get me a pet, oh well.

Get yourself a kitty, you won't regret it.
tamagotchi n lng sir.. hehehe
